this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; That one punt was stellar. Must have been 70 yards in there. I thought for a second he was Erxlerben....

Still think he's not worth what we gave for him Danno?

Absolutely. He a friggin Punter. No punter is worth two draft picks in a 4 pick draft. Its the least important position on a football team.

There's a reason why only 1 or 2 are drafted every year, and we gave up two picks for him.

I'm glad he's our punter, but we paid too much for him, even if he makes 9 consecutive pro-bowls.

I'll type this real slow so there's no mistaking my opinion on it...

TWO DRAFT PICKS IN A FOUR PICK DRAFT IS TOO MUCH TO GIVE FOR THE LEAST IMPORTANT POSITION ON A FOOTBALL TEAM.

Do you need any further clarification of my opinion on the matter?

Again


This guys is phenomenal. I was gushing during the game and still gushing now.

I watch many sports that have a kicking element and his kicking would be ace in all of them

Not at the moment...maybe later.

But, FWIW...I think you are wrong on this one.

I don't think there is any such thing as a "least important position" on a NFL team. Just one guy not doing his job efficiently can result in a big fat L. That includes the LS, the holder, and the kicker/punter.

Thomas Morstead has a VERY important job and he does it well, and does it consistently. We're very fortunate to have this guy on our roster.

Well the draft is a crap shoot anyway. The 2 players we picked before Morestead didn't pan out and are no longer with the team (Arnoux and Vaughn). So anytime you have a draft pick that is on the team and making contributions I think however you got him was worth it.
