A few weeks ago, it looked like the New Orleans Saints were en route to their worst season since 2005. As it stands, there's a chance the Saints finish the first year of the Kellen Moore era with seven wins. The vibes around the team haven't been this high since Jameis Winston started the year 5-2. Sean Payton was still the coach at that time.
There was a spike of hope when Derek Carr was signed, but that quickly dissipated. Even in that brief moment, there's more hope and excitement around the team now. That's because the excitement can be found in the youth, specifically Tyler Shough.
