Gotta love that Peter King

saintswhodi · 10-11-2005, 02:21 PM

DOWN ON THE 'AINTS. From Mike of Alexandria, Va.: "I saw a bunch of guys standing in the middle of Lambeau Field Sunday watching the game in the middle field. On second glance, I noticed they were all wearing Saints jerseys! Are there any trades this team can make to help this underachieving offense and atrocious defense? Maybe a trade for Philip Rivers or LaVar Arrington?''

No one's trading for Rivers; he's not going anywhere 'til the offseason. I think what the Saints need to do is plan for life after Aaron Brooks. Too inconsistent, too many brainlock mistakes at bad times. For now, I think it's important that they stay away from using the woe-is-me defense. I understand they've been dealt a bad hand, but they seem to still be wallowing in it, at least judging from their performance Sunday in Green Bay.

The kid scares me.

Rivers? Me too. I'd be more comfortable with Brees, and definitely Leinart. But, how could it be worse? Oh, if Rivers had to learn under these coaches..................

The Saints currently have a quarterback who for some reason the ball just falls out of his hands as he is about to pass and Rivers scares you ????

I am checking the calendar to see if it is April 1 ......

I like Rivers... very accurate as a college quarterback. Throws a good deep ball and has great size. One bad thing is he throws a little sidearm. But with his size... who cares.

I would take Rivers for AB right now. Hell, I agree with ya 08 we already have a rookie QB starting every week.

I would take Rivers over AB right now too, but that's not saying much. Rivers has never been tested. Sure he's big and he was a pretty good college quarterback, but his mechanics are just awful, and we don't have the kind of coaching that can take that kind of raw talent and turn it into an efficient product. I'd rather get somebody who doesn't need a lot of coaching on the fundamentals, since our team is probably the worst in the NFL at that.

Guys, right now I would take a piece of ass lint for AB right now. The guy is getting progressivly worse every game he plays. Watch, this week he lights up Atlanta! I bet he does. He is actually inconsistent enough to have a career game against Atlanta after one of his worst games as a Saint.
