Shocking the world AGAIN and beating the greatest QB playing and winning its second Super Bowl.

How a QB who has never won a playoff game and a coach who has beaten something like two or three winning teams in a 5 year career are going to combine with an extremely makeshift oline where that QB has minimum protection to rely on scheme to get that QB a pro bowl season and win 3-4 straight playoff games, well, it seems highly improbably to me. Why would a QB who has been in the league what 11 years have by far his most consistent season behind the worst oline he has ever played behind? Are offensive linemen just coming into the league a lot more polished and ready to start than ever before and the draft pick will be so good he can cover two rushers while switching to left tackle?

Would you care to also promise that Ryan Ramczyk is going to play 17 games and make the all pro team?

:popcorn:

If we hit on all OL, meaning drafted and UDFAs, there is a chance, albeit small one. You never know, however.

But he didn’t, so he didn’t. And he doesn’t so he won’t. Deal with it. Oh that’s right, you do, and you will.

So, what happened to the whole "this season's schedule is going to be so much harder for the Saints" spiel?

Well, an easy schedule was no help last year. They better step up this time around. :roll:

There were several teams on our schedule last year that were deemed "easy" that turned out to be pretty good teams. Development of existing players, the addition of new players, and a bit of luck in the health department can easily turn around a team's poor or average performance from one year to the next. On the other hand, teams that were relatively successful one season could really come back down to earth with the loss of a key player here or there through free agency or injury, and/or a bit of bad luck on or off the field

It's hard to place much meaning on the whole "strength of schedule" deal.

27,000,000 in dead money. Probably worth a couple of pretty good players roggt there. Around here they call that a cap genius.

Around here some people are called trolls.

By the way, troll, I suppose you don't realize that the average dead cap figure for 2024 in the NFL is $25,877,681, huh? I guess the whole league is full of geniuses, huh?

:dunce:

Re: What I'm Realistically Looking For This Season

I wish you wouldn't attack posters like that. I miss having spkb25 and other people around here. That's likely due to these petty attacks.

spkb25, if you haven't noticed over the years, has made it a point to attack me and the Saints as a team. I miss many others that have left for various reasons, but not this troll. Not one bit. He crossed the line when he boasted here about making fun of his Special Ed students and excused it because he said they thought it was fun. I'll never forget that. It was sick. It still turns my stomach.

All he's done since is tell us how much he thinks OUR team sucks. Check his signature. He disowned the Saints, if he was ever a fan to begin with, which I have never seen any indication of being the case.
