Playcalling usage etc...play factors into players performance. Football "in essence" is 11 on 11. Your DB play effects your pass rush pass rush effect your db play. DT effect your LB play so on so forth so when some people isolate players without context and just regurgitate one meaningless statistic by itself. I'm going say something because THATS NOT FOOTBALL. Can't talk run game and not talk oline. My passion isn't going to supercede reality. Saints were 5th in sacks and people still felt like we needed a upgrade at pass rush. Why is that of guys herald sacks so much in the Saints were fifth in that category?

Hell with what we had for DBs I feel like there should’ve been more ints. I mean, the offense underperformed regardless of who was at QB imo. But some may say that Dalton wasn’t good enough and that was the problem. My opinion is that he was fine and did okay but our offense was just vanilla and didn’t seem to have very good plays. Everyone’s got an opinion man. Lol |

Facts are this Davenport with ZERO sacks was the highest graded pass rusher on this team. That's not an opinion that's a fact. Facts are most of if not alot guys here don't care about wins they care about how the wins look. Salivating at Chris Olave and he underperformed dropped passes in critical situations and dropped tds. But because he's also with OROY the pick satisfies some egos around here. So since All opinions are welcome here's mine. Last year's draft was a miss and will cost the Saints more in the long run than Davenport ever could. Fans wanted a new face at WR and felt elated somehow Saints are still in the same boat if not worse. Some of You guys love stats so much they leave you blind. Since this is such an opinion friendly forum welcoming of all. Consider this the start of something new.
