Saints Trading Stallworth?!?!

And blaming his catching woes on AB is the same thing those Raiders fans are doing....blaming AB's throwing woes on Stallworth, and the o-liine, and the coaches. Yeah it's partially AB's fautl but everyone of us here knows that Stallworth has probably the worst hands on the team, along with Henderson.

That's bull. Anyone who has watched the Saints for any period of time knows AB threw one of the most uncatchable balls ever when he was off. On the opposite end, in the Rams game this year, Donte made a catch off the top of his shoe strings running top speed towards the sideline on a pass that wasn't thrown at bullet train speed. Also, you could plainly SEE his breakaway speed in his first two years when he wasn't injured, when he caught slant passes that allowed him to stay upright and make a play. The last two years when he has been healtthy, the slant pass has consisted of him diving in the dirt with no chance to run. Please.

As far as your underestimating his value, Donte put up better numbers than Lloyd across the board, easily. In 45 games played, Lloyd has 13 TDs. In 56 played, Donte has 23. Plays over 20 yards in the same amount of games? Lloyd has 20, Donte has 46. So lloyd avergaes .29 TD a game, Donte .42. Lloyd averages .44 plays of over 20 yards per game, Donte averages .82. And this is WITH Donte missing huge parts of his first two years. It's not even close, and Lloyd got a third round pick, AND a fourth next year. So damn right Donte is worth at least a second. He is only getting better. Lloyd has never done ANYTHING and drew a 3rd and a 4th. Ridiculous.
