What?! You really think that Peat had his feelings hurt by a few fans and decided that he couldn't bear it any longer?
You're silly but this is some of the silliest stuff you've posted.

My guess is Peat got tired of Sammiches and wanted to check out them all-you-can-eat buffets on the Strip.

You never know. It certainly wasn't the money. It most certainly could have been a factor. And it wasn't only a few fans. There were bloggers out there posting all kinds of derogatory crap. Social media can be brutal. I've heard many an athlete talk about the presence of or the lack of respect in the community and its affect, be it positive or negative. Believe it or not players are not totally void of feelings.

All others things being equal I can't see it not being in his mind. It most certainly would be in most of ours.

I thought you said (repeatedly) that nothing we say makes any difference in what we see (or don’t see) on the field, and that we should just keep quiet while being dished heaping scoops of mediocrity, or as you say, find another team to root for?

Do you have any sources to back your speculation? The truth is the only ones who know are Peat and those within the organization. Please remember we as fans shouldn’t believe or speak of anything unless it comes from a place of blind optimism.

10. Derek Carr, NO

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/TOIq...1897880512.jpg

I could see an argument for Carr being anywhere from 8-11 on this list, but in the end, I decided to put him below Mayfield and Purdy at the No. 10 spot. He was very injured last season, so I don’t doubt that he can have a better season this year, but I just don’t know if he has the ability to take an offense that has some good playmakers and make them elite. Plus, Saints fans were spoiled with Drew Brees for so long that it’s hard to watch anyone else take the field and be as impressed.

I keep hearing some people talk about Demario Davis being old like it's a strike against our current roster. He's still one of the very elite LB's in the league today. Father time definitely hasn't caught up with the great one yet.

More dead money for next year...

Looks like the League’s investigation of the Failclowns and Eagles is about to come to an end. Expected punishments for the teams’ unauthorized tampering with free agents is expected to cost the Saints draft picks:

I know this is a firewall article, but gist of it is still there. This year's offense will in no way resemble what was on the field last year. We can be assured of that. Too many pundits and some fans are expecting more of the same without accounting for all of the potential improvements.

I've heard and read this many times since the end of the season. With all the griping about Headley and his punting most of those gripers were apparently never aware that he was being asked to deliver those types of kicks to prevent returns. It's sounding like Darren Rizzi, our special teams coordinator has had a change of heart this coming season.

ESPN has the Saints WR corps ranked at 28th in the league. Talk about total lack of respect. Once a again, they are fixated on what went on with Carmichael's anemic offense and not what the actual potential holds.

They list our WR corps as Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Bub Means, Cedrick Wilson, and A.T. Perry, in that order.

Both Demario Davis and Willie Gay make the list of top 32 LB talents in NFL today. Demario, even at his advanced age ... :rolleyes: ... was #3 on the list.

Might be good to fly under the radar for a bit. Besides, do we really want to pay what the former LSU WR just got in Minihaha?

If Olave works his way into the upper tier of NFL WR's, someone is going to pay more than what Jefferson got paid. As the cap continues to skyrocket that allotted money has to go somewhere. WR has joined QB as the flavor of the day.
