OMG.... can't believe we signed an LSU player! All kidding aside, I do truly hope he can make it. As previously said, QB play at LSU has been spotty of late.

I think this guy could be an absolute steal, plus with Curtis Johnson being back, the sky is the limit.

He'll need some serious work, but I think we have the coach that can do just that.

I like Dural WAY more than Dupre. IMO..Dupre never lived up to expectations. I know the QB play was mostly garbage but his desire to make a play was very lacking. We got the better of the two imo.

He has already said he's not really a Saints fan. He just follows the team for stats and because he uses Brees in his fantasy league .

Who cares when they were signed, or where? These are guys that went undrafted and made an impact in this league. The point couldn't be simpler. There ARE diamonds in the rough, and you just have to hit on one every now and then. What, do you expect an 80% success rate? 50%?

Of course you aren't going to strike gold every single year. But you can't just say they're all "PS fodder", as if none of them have any chance. History proves you wrong.

Snead has had a better career with Drew than Stills had with Drew; if you want to compare each in the same offense...

Stills was accurate in 2014. Brees didn't throw as much to Stills because Graham was on the team and Colston was on the team. Further, Stills was not traded because of his play because if you actually look at his game log stats for that year, he hardly missed a target.
