This isn't Saints related, except by illustration. I found this article on NFL.com.

The article is about the benching of Kerry Collins, and this quote is simply marvelous:

I am interested to see what our B&G membership thinks of this. Is Norv Turner right or is Jim Haslett? Is it the coach's job to "try to win as many games as possible" or to "look to the future". Oakland's record is better than ours, so at present their draft status is less valuable than ours.

My opinion is, of course, that Turner is making the right decision.
