Did porter go off or something

Porter never played an entire season, and 4M is way too much for him.

And he had an interception in SB 44.


Off the top of anyone's head.... What other game did he stand out in?

That's why he is with the Broncos.

I know it...but damn, it's hard to watch our Superbowl Champions playing and kicking ass on other teams. It's just hard to watch. :(

Why does she always look hotter after we dump her? :-)

Then we take her back and remember just how crazy she was.

I love Tracy Porter; even though I hated it was Peyton Manning, for that one moment, that one play, I'd love that he could have been drafted and finished his career as a Saint...

But because of chronic injuries - he was like that fantasy player that is a top 10 scorer at his position, but he doesn't finish a third of the games he's in and you're scratchin your head...

I'll miss him, but we need a guy that can play most of 16 games with the occasional hiccup because of the athleticism that cornerback demands...

And he was playing nickelback most of last season...

And, of course, we had to pay Drew...

It is hard, and it rained all in one week, hopefully...

But we've got some young, fresh talent and we've got to just reload and keep firing...

I thought the exact same thing when I saw Meachem haul in a big pass.

In case I missed anything, meachems 2 catches for 49 yards weren't anything to rave about he did it with us when he was here

For 2 seasons tracy showed lack luster play getting beaten at will, it may have been the switch to Nickel, it may have been the scheme but he's playing well now

We have to make sure we don't give him an opportunity to do it to us

Meachem was a much biiger loss than Porter.

Porter lost his job to Johnny Patrick. Porter still isn't as good as Robinson/Greer.

We probably could have used him Sunday, only because Greer was out and Patrick left the game early with injury.

Porter's problem was the scheme. Man-on-man, he's like glue, and as we see, he can still jump the route and get HIS.

Meachem had many big plays with the Saints. Many were key, big scores when we needed to light the fire. Bad move trading him. Horrible move. Now we feel it.

We upset the apple cart. Period.

Liked em both when they were here and I don't think we'll overly miss either of them. We should have been strong enough in receivers without him and Porter just wasn't worth that kind of money. But injuries suffered Sunday make us all question this now.

Re: Tracy Porter last night...Robert Meachum tonight.
 
I agree the Saints could have definitely used both these guys, but this is a salary cap era, so it is what it is. Once the Saints get some DB's healthy again, Porter will be forgotten quick. As for Meachum, basically he was replaced by Joe Morgan as the second deep threat behind Henderson, so as of right now that is obvious the bigger loss.
