Well said sir!

I hate going into predictions with football. Things change so quickly on and off the field so I stay with the IF we can stay healthy approach. With so many new faces all over the place I believe in it more than ever. I like the way things are shaping so I will say .500 or better is not unreasonable.

Stafford when hot is one the best QB in the NFL without a doubt.

Issue with the lions right now is their running game.


If Stafford is off and the running game is still an issue then the saints are looking good going into the game. If the saints allow the lions to rush the ball and let Stafford go into play action mode we could be in for a long game.

I see your reasoning but I just see bigger needs elsewhere.
I don't think Snead will command huge money because he don't have that type of production.

I would like us to sign Morestead on a looong contract extension that would make him cheaper now and let a rising cap "eat up" his expensiveness.

LMAO I knew a punter would tick people off. Riots in the streets. It is a cap thing more than anything else. We will sign Drew for between 20 to 28 million a year leaving around $0 to $8 million for any other FA. Estimated $28 million free cap space right now.

Besides we have a buy out in 2018 making him FA and no dead money in 2019.

Thomas Morstead
Potential Out: 2018, 6 yr, $19,014,097; $700,000 dead cap
Savings $4.1 mil in 2018

As for a WR I am into the safest pick idea in the top of round 1, Teaming him up with Thomas would give the saint two studs on the outside. It would also keep Snead from demanding some crazy FA money. I do not expect the saints to do the safe thing. Like picking Latt over Howard in 2017.

If the saints did Ridely in 2018This would be a cap friendly group of WR for the next few years. Freeing up money to add a vet or two each year on defense. That is were a punter freeing up $4 million also comes into play.

Just wait till I do an all cap freeing draft lol

It also lets me put up more players and situationist for people to think about as the season goes on. Both in the NFL and in college.

I don't really see the need for drafting a WR in the first round. Even if he seems like a good player I much rather see us keep building the lines. An edge rusher opposite Jordan should be a priority.

And punter? Morestead is the best in the business right now, I'd much rather see us paying him, he is worth it. We will afford it now when most of the big dead-money contracts are off the books.

Yes, and most of all. Just Pass. Dont run. dont try to run. stop pretending we can run... esp on the Goal Line. We cant run. We shouldnt try. trade AP and Ingram both, for OL.

They have the right to do it
The NFL has the right not to enforce it
I have the right to disapprove and turn off my TV.
No need for justifications from any of the parties involved

Why do I have a feeling the NFL will get this all wrong and do whatever to fold to pressure.
The NFL will do whatever it takes to.....make money!

fantastic.
I've had it up to here with idiots.

All defense for 2018? NeauxFW!

Really wanted Adam Shaheen, but I thought he was more of an early third round pick.

Looks like our protege, Ryan Pace, had the same thoughts.

McCaffrey was the guy. Damn, it'd made my year to see him as our No.1 pick. Even with Lattimore shockingly falling. Still convinced Carolina took him to keep McCaffrey from the B&G more than they wanted him.

What is Nick Saban doing with those Bama players; by the time those guys get out of there, they're already physically crippled. Allen has been a fine player, but shoulder arthritis this early? That's scary

I really had a problem taking Mixon. We went through all that BS with Junior Galette and I think it's counter productive to make that same mistake again.

If we had completed the setup to a 3-4 defense last year, how nice would it be to add T.J. Watt this season; this back and forth, waffling on defensive fronts has been the biggest handicap to winning another championship.

Adoree Jackson went in the first round as it seemed he would; I wouldn't spend more on him than a late second, early third as he'll never be a front line CB.

Liked Ramcyzk over Bolles from the time draft discussion started.

Not at all sold on Kevin King.

Tre White is a Tracy Porter clone; which means someone will reach on him and find he won't tackle and not re-sign him when his rookie contract comes due...

pretty much sums it up IMO

That long list was WRONG...

That short list was WRONG....

I wouldn't mind a 3rd rd pick for a TE. I could see using 32 of Howard were there. That would be a luxury pick though. I think I Defense is more criticallr.

Draft Jake Butt at a discount and call it a day. I can't justify drafting Howard so early. He improved a great deal with his hands this past season, but I think any team that drafts Howard in the top half of the first round will be making a mistake.
