I think the major risk factor is called "playing professional football".

Turner was back to practice today so let's not go cutting anyone just yet...

This is like defending a drunk driver by saying the major risk factor is driving. As car insurance companies know, anyone can get in an accident but past history is a strong indicator.

Where do you come up with this stupid ****? Show us solid numbers proving there are substantially more injuries at any period of the NFL calendar year by the Saints than your average NFL franchise.

For anyone aware of the past history of the NFL they would know that injuries are a routine part of the game, be it offseason, preseason, regular season, or God forbid the postseason.

I found this quote by Dennis Allen interesting: "“We’re trying to determine if we have a backup quarterback on our roster right now. I’ve seen some signs that I like,” Allen said. “Yet, I want to get them into real live situations, under the lights, and see how both of these guys operate in that environment. I’m encouraged by what I’ve seen out of both Spencer and Jake, and yet, we haven’t made any decisions there. I want to see what they operate like under the lights.

So if we take that at face value, there is still a scenario where the Saints sign Tannehill, Hoyer, Gabbert, McCarron, Sieman, resign Peterman, or pick up someone like Bailey Zappe who gets cut? Interesting. I guess there is a scenario in Allen's mind where Trey Lance, Taylor Heineken, or Zach Wilson could be our backup QB. It could be that expensive backups like Bridgewater, Watson, and Dalton were not a fluke or reaction to Brees age and this could be the teams new philosophy to throw $7 million at Ryan Tannehill if we get nervous. I hope not.

I hope we don't spend too much money. I like upside.
