Yet you took the time to respond to a comment you have no control over and can't be changed!

I'd argue Deonte' Harris is better than Desean J. IMO we don't need another "go", "9" route WR. Saints desperately need more legit route runners/intermediate guys.

DJax is older and has become injury-prone.

For all we know Thomas could have had the surgery done in February and returned successfully in game one and then blown out a knee on the first play.

I have just as much right to mention my opinion that moving on from events that cannot be changed is healthy as do those that have the right to dwell upon events that cannot be changed. Do I not?

I'm not dwelling on it in the least. It doesn't occupy my time unless we are discussing him on the board. And the fact that his surgery happened much later than was needed and left the team in a a lurch just doesn't set well with me. I simply made up my mind that I'm done with him. He put himself above the team. But like I said I don't dwell on it.

As far as water under the bridge statement we referenced, rough water can do severe damage to the bridge.

In fairness, you can’t say Jackson is more injury prone than Harris.

Yup. And all you can do at that point is do your best to repair it and move on.

The money weight from that big contract is causing stress fractures.

Indeed. Thankfully this is somewhat offset for the time being by the team having low cost at QB.

So far IMO:
Kamara contract/impact is good
Thomas contract/impact bad
Lattimore “ “ is good
Peat’s is bad
Ram’s is good
Jordan‘s has been good

These are the main high dollar contracts the team has unless I’m forgetting some. Shows me that sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
