You probably don't need to remind us we're not them.

This gives you four very versatile DB's to put on the field. They can play FS or SS. They can all cover in the slot and play run support. Taylor and Mathieu can even line up on the outside. They're great in run support. Badger and Ceedy can rush the passer...and we still haven't mentioned PJ Williams or Bradley Robey. Look at all these defenders we have. Teams have a million WR's so we need a million DB's.

No, it really doesn't. We all know we're not an active an GM in the NFL. It sounds very condescending and it doesn't really help discussion.

Don't disagree with you at all. However, we seem to need quality depth for what now is a 17 game regular schedule. I think the Saints will go cheap for WR 3-5. We do have after all Deonte Harris, now Deonte Harty with the name change. Lil' Jordan says hello, and KMajor's favorite TreQuan. And we have last year's WR pick from South Alabama. Maybe we can unearth a little gem in the UDFA class.

I'm hoping TE Krull surprises us. He was a favorite target at Pitt for that QB the entire media wanted us to draft.

:bng:

Just stating my opinion which I believe is just as worthy to be heard, don't you think?

You don't have to remind anyone who the real GM is for the Saints. It's tiresome and one of the many reasons why saintfan hammered you for a couple of months. I don't know why you can't have a collegial discussion here with us.

It's just as valid a point of conversation as any other. It is my opinion and my reasoning for that opinion. Do I not have the same right as you? :confused: Your telling me my opinion is "stock" is no less condescending.

I see you are going with the "I'm not stupid you are!" defense, well played.

Let me adjust my response accordingly to the fact that we aren't GM's I'll go with "DUH!"

I do recall reading an article from Underhill a while back stating that HB is willing to sit it out through training camp (someone will get injured) if he has to but I don't foresee him getting the money he wants.

I'd love to have him, however at the end of the day ... it's all about money. Hopefully, the numbers are close & the front office brass can make it work. It's obvious the Saints still have a legitimate interest in closing the deal.

To be continued :bng:...

This statement make 0 sense, so no matter how it cripples our teams ability to sign additional talent, no matter how it cripples us with the CAP going forward well heck let's sign him, after all he's a LA product, and it all important we have the #1 safety prospect whether or not this is our greatest need currently? Nope.

Myself I've been glad we haven't been over paying either with salary or draft picks like a lot of the dumber teams have been doing this offseason.

If you're ok with reminding people they're not GMs then be ok with people reminding you they don't need to hear it.

We're ALL guilty (including you) of stating more than a smidgen of what we actually know. That's the fun part. Don't take it away.
