Grading the Saints......

I agree for the most part except for the following

Jerome and Joe get a C+ in my book. I wanted to give them a B-, but B means \'above average\' , and neither of them are playing that way.

The same thing goes for Aaron. Although I do not blame our record on him solely, I can\'t justify a B rating. He gets a plain ole C for \'average\'.

McCarthy doesn\'t deserve a C in my eyes -- too much talent on his side of the ball. I\'d have to give him a big, fat, stinkin\' D.

Grading the Saints......

Oh, and give Grady a B+ for his efforts thus far. He\'s almost been playing to his first round potential. I could also see Charles Grant heading for an A rating in the next couple of games, especially if his momma stays on his rear end.

Grading the Saints......

At first hand glance Billy the only changes I\'d make are dropping Bentley to a B. He has been pretty solid but just doesn\'t seem to have the same mean demeanor on the field that he had last year. I don\'t think losing was sitting well with him. And secondly, as much as I have criticized his play every year, Bellamy gets a B as well. He is playing better than I would have guessed. Give him a point and take one away from Tebucky. A \"D\" is almost too good for what he\'s done.

Although today\'s performance gets everyone a extra point.
