He was a hell of a defensive player! He shares a birthday with my twin brother and me. Yesterday was a good day.

It's time to bring in another round of mid tier free agents before the draft.

I have a feeling that Turner stays healthy this year and has a breakout season.

From article linked above:

Teams that often tank and go into a rebuild rarely climb back out of it. The Jets, Browns, Lions, Jaguars, Texans, Bears, and Dolphins wasted years of their fans’ time promising that they just needed to bottom out and get another quarterback with the first or second overall pick before they’d turn it all around. In many cases they never improved, and the coaches and general managers tasked with pulling off the tank-and-rebuild were fired by frustrated owners who didn’t enjoy the process as much as conventional wisdom suggests they would.

Even new Saints addition, Khalen Saunders, notes the simple mindedness of Saints cap critics.

Are you going to report your own post for calling people simple minded though?

Just curious.



Anyways, it's not simple minded to be concerned about how we operate. It's all about the circumstance that we're in. Now that we have a legitimate quarterback, "kicking the can" is just fine since we're competing and the cap going up year to year. Now if Dalton or Winston was the starting quarterback for the next couple of seasons, what we're doing doesn't as much sense. The key is being able to see both sides of the argument which some refuse to acknowledge. There's merit to both sides.

He should be upset... it's cost him a lot of $. And it's cost the Saint an extra number 1 pick.
