Re: Russell Wilson
 

I hear he’s legit..., has written eleventy-seven books, was the pilot, copilot, and navigator on the Fat Man aeroplane.... and his daddy drove a pink caddy. In all truthiness, when he says something..., you should bet your life on it.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I am right there with you on how rumors start. I've pointed out that fact myself right here on this very forum. However, as trivial as Russell Wilson attending a gathering as a freshman at NCSU with wounded warrior veterans while dealing with a case of food poisoning might be, I shared it because I knew it to be an interesting fact based upon first hand knowledge from an extremely qualified source. I understand your doubt and that is why also included the provenance to support the anecdote. I'm not sure of the exact timeline, but this may have been during the time that Tim spent with the Sports Information Department at NC State.

As far as my being an azzhole, you do not need some imaginary "Frien" here in Bossier to verify the fact. I have admitted as much right here in this very forum, as well.

:D

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I take it you have a tad bit of azzhole in you, as well, no, gosaints?

;) :D

Re: Russell Wilson
 

As I get older I'm a bigger azzhole every day. :p

Re: Russell Wilson
 

lol, every now and then, I get an itch. But, on my life, I swear, my smartassedness comes with a smile on my face. That sarcastic humor has not done me a service in the digital domain, so generally I stay away from it. But..., every now and then, the devil on the other shoulder whispers to me.

If I offended you, or anyone else, you do have my apologies. In all sincerity.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Same here, and I have age on virtually everyone here other than vpheughan.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

No problem whatsoever. I'm right there with you. I am a sarcastic azzhole and always have been. It absolutely rubs some people the wrong way and I usually don't give a crap. :D

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Usually..., I do. Difference of personalities I guess. But like I said, every now and then, lol.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I honestly think I’ve gone opposite as I’ve gotten older. I’m lucky enough to still have my father alive and I talk to him most every day. We remind each other of conversations we had years past and point out how we both were wrong about things before. It’s taught me to be more open to the idea I may be wrong about something. It’s also taught me that when I am sure I am right to play it close to the vest so to speak. That way I show more composure weather or not I’m right or wrong. I don’t always live up to this, but I try.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Words to live by. Your father seems like a wise man

Thanks Rugby!

geez you are a spelling cop as well.... go figure:doh:

Re: Russell Wilson
 

It comes from years of writing technical white papers. It is perhaps my only fault.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

If the Saints acquire Wilson then I'll make a run at dating Lana Parrilla (until I remember that I'm already married)

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Does Ciara like seafood :p?

Seriously speaking I don't believe that there is any 1st rounder(s) in the draft will be even close to Russell. He's a proven winner & special player. Russ in Sean's system … it could be dangerous. More so than the likes of a Desean Watson IMO.

Will it happen? Probably not but I'd love to have Wilson in New Orleans.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

So, is this a case of rumor becoming fact?

Whatever. As I said in the first post on this thread. The Saints don't have enough to give Seattle for Wilson. Unless you don't want to see a first round draft choice again for a few years.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I'll admit that I've never heard of Lana Parrilla. I had to do a search and am still not aware of anything she has been in.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

IMO Russ has at least 4 years left of ELITE QB play with weapons around him & an above average O line.

Consider our last few 1st rounders were Davenport & Ruiz. Would you not be willing to give that up for 4+ years of elite QB play?

In other words, is 2 or 3 1st rounders worth another trophy on the mantle?

Thoughts, comments :bng:?

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Could you imagine JP not having a 1st round pick for the next three years to salivate over?

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I'd much rather have a proven commodity over picks, but then again I'm not a huge draft groupie so there's that.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

That’s a tough one Major. I agree with your logic in that a guy like Wilson is probably worth 3 low first round picks. But Another variable in the equation is the dollar price you have to pay Wilson in contract/cap money as an elite QB vs the same cost of 3 first round picks. If they hit on another Ram, Lattimore, and Jordan with those three picks then it’s not worth it. I’d be tempted to risk it though.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I've only seen a bit of Once Upon A Time, but she was on Craig Ferguson, and that's good enough for me

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Do what ya gotta do to get him here.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Just curious Rez, would you rather have Wilson or Watson ?

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Wilson.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Wilson would be a great addition.... I like that thought

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Someone has to outduel Brady!!

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Nope. Not really. I like the young ones that turn out good. But, I'll take a proven player over draft picks any day given the vast majority of drafted players have very minimal impact on a whole. Yes, there can be a remarkable draft class by a team here or there, but that is the exception rather than the rule.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

What? The vast majority of NFL starters were... “drafted” by some team, in some year, and at some selective draft position. The can’t have a “minimal impact on a whole”. Overwhelmingly, they ARE the NFL, the starters for sure. Undrafted players are the exception. I truly don’t get what you are trying to say here.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

He’s on the record as saying he would love to play in the SuperDome. That’s not an insignificant statement.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I was begging for him when he was coming out of Wisconsin. Think we didn’t have a 1st or 2nd and Seattle picked before us in the 3rd. I was clamoring for Watson too...and Lamar Jackson. Nobody ever likes my QB choices here. 😂

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Thatd be awesome. But how could the Saints ever pay him?

Re: Russell Wilson
 

D'uh! That's a given. Everyone acknowledges that. You completely missed my point. The vast majority of NFL starters were drafted. But, they most likely all make up only around 10% of ALL players drafted over their years in the league ... if that many. The vast majority of drafted players either never make the team (or league) or do not go on to have more than a minimal impact. That's point I was trying to make.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I was begging for him to stay at NC State instead of transferring. I was made aware of his potential way back then. The coach wouldn't guarantee his starting and refused to let him continue playing baseball, as well.

I'd definitely be in your corner if this could happen.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

I couldn't think of a more ideal QB to replace Drew Brees other than Payton Manning 10 years ago.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

Great. Now I can't stop imagining Wilson running this offense and all the leadership that comes with him.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

If the Saints were gonna trade for a star QB I was hoping for Rodgers myself sine GB drafted Love.

Re: Russell Wilson
 

The Saints make to sort of trade needed to get Wilson and they ain't winning no Superbowl. They have to gut the team (cap hits between 30-40ml for 3 years) to get under the cap and not have any 1sts to fill out needed positions.

Add to that Sportsrac has the Seahawks with 28ml in dead money this year
