He gets sacks and opens things up for others to make plays. He went in the draft where most had him. The Saints did what they had to in order to have him on the roster, and it was probably the biggest need at the time. I'm simply a couch potato scout like everyone else here. Everything I've stated on the topic is truth.

Excellent input.

Why others cannot comprehend is baffling.

I'm thinking the injury bug is why people keep calling him that. It's ridiculous. His play on the field says otherwise. I'm hoping he can finally stay healthy this year. Everyone will shut up if and when that happens.

I know. It's like they don't watch the games.

Re: Saints draft Houston DE Payton Turner with first-round pick

You both act like injuries aren’t part of the game. Newsflash...they are! Don’t you two watch the games? It’s like you don’t (end review of your sanctimonious sarcasm for those that have a different viewpoint). Putting two first round picks into one player rather than two players doubles the risk of injury on your investment. Do you not think that some of us fit that into the equation? That’s part of the reach/risk.

Every player at one point or another will suffer injuries. Do you not draft any of them?

Do you spend two first round picks on every one of them? 🤔

No, but when you do spend two very late first rounders (basically two high second rounders) you have no clue the player will suffer a turf toe injury and miss time before perhaps eventually becoming a perennial All Pro.

Don't get your point.

I in no way implied that. There's no use in beating a dead horse here. Just going to make a point of factual matter again.....injuries don't make someone a bust. That isn't an opinion.

I've been forced to beat this same poor horse beyond death, shawnky. I doesn't seem to register to some.
