Re: Observations from the Saints' Loss to the Cowboys
I'll pull for wins and you can hope for losses then. The draft is the last thing on my mind. I start caring about it after it happens.

Shoot, look at the Pats turning it around after one down year. They were in the exact same situation as us.

Winston isn't that person (yet) and I will borrow from another discussion in another thread to explain. Someone commented that we used to be able to take 4-7th round WR and get productivity out of them, the reply was 'yes but we cant do that anymore'. Even with two people in a room it takes time and familiarity for the roles to fall in. Those roles are not forged in a meeting room. |

Their opinions are facts Their feelings are valid Their views are always right This does not apply to you Everything you think, feel, or say is wrong. Point out a hole in their illogical thinking and you've just started a never ending war. 5 - 12 Baby! |

We are going to draft who we are going to draft. There's nothing any of us can do to change that. I see no value to me to even consider the draft until the day it happens and that is just to see who we will have to work with. |
