I challenged you first. If you can clearly state your case positively I will address the others.

Well?
We don't have to that's what they are paid to do. WE are all just fans, that's what we do. ***** when something, or when we don't do anything when "we" as fans think we should. None of us get paid to sit behind a desk and look at film, or what scenario might play out. Fans don't have a full time job to do anything of the sort.
We can just cheer, or *****. Then get on sites like this and throw mud at other fans, because we can't come up with a scenario. Why should we, that's not my job.
I come here to be entertained by dumb ass comments, along with even the smarter ones. Not because I want to pretend that I am a GM. That's not my job nor is it yours.

I read the posts. You never stated what you would have done differently with Callahan. All you did was ignore my challenge to tell me exactly what you would have done differently in the case concerning Callahan and posted a list of moves that did not produce as much as one would have wanted and said that YOU wouldn't have done them. That is easy to say now.

Hindsight is 20/20. It is easy for anyone to point out, in a vacuum, that something did not work out optimally.

And why is this such a huge deal? At this time of year nothing of material value hits the wire. But, Callahan WAS a value and that is why the Saints claimed him. What would have been a better value later? How was it a total screw up? But, because of unforeseen injuries the Saints were forced to free another roster spot. There was no other option available but to waive Callahan and hope he cleared so he could then be moved to the practice squad.

It was a good move to claim Callahan in the first place. But, as I have pointed out, not all things go according to plan. The Saints are not alone in that fact. Don't forget that Green Bay had to waive him in the first place because they were dealing with the same sort of roster issues that are plaguing the Saints and many other teams in the NFL.

Read what I just posted, K. Where exactly was the supposed screw up? There was none. You are listening to a load of crap and taking it as gospel. What step along that way was a screw up?

This is what we do here!!!
LOL.

Not sure what move you are talking about concerning Galette? There were several events connected to Galette. I certainly wouldn't have signed him to an extension knowing what we all know about him now. I'm sure the Saints front office agrees. Too bad we can't see into the future. Or is it the move of cutting him? While it wasn't all they could have done, it was the best PR move. It resulted in a huge cap hit, but without time travel it was unavoidable.

Seeing the production we have seen out of Byrd I wish that move was never made. It had the potential of being another Darren Sharper sort of impact but didn't pan out. Once again, too bad we can't see into the future.

Ditto with Browner.

As for Fleener, I have absolutely no issue with his acquisition. The jury is still out on that one, but I see the potential for sure.
