hey guys,

I just joined and this is my 1st post. Its great to chat with hard core black and gold fans who in my opinion seem very knowledgeable of the sport. I am a second yr season ticket holder from minden La. and have been a fan since my dad took me to his buddies house to watch games since i was six. (im 27)


I have a bad feeling deuce may not be with us much longer if he doesnt continue to play at a high level. I will give you my reasons and would love to get you feedback. (I am a huge fan and dont want to loose deuce but hears my points.

(1) the drafting of pittman. Now this all depends on if pittman can prove he can be a inside effective runner IF he can. Because we got him in the forth round, we will have him at a cheap price for a few yrs depending on his progression.

(2) the grant signing. although im glad we got grant signed, because of the big #, its going to make smiths price even more. Maybe 6 yrs 70 million.

(3) others to sign and current big contracts brees -6 yrs 60 million
grant 7 yrs 63 million
bush 6 yrs 62 million
smith ?
colston- wont play long under
small contract
brown-will want huge money and
teams will willing fork over the
dough
(4) deuce carries a huge number left on his new deal and has had one major injury and a history of many.

(5) although payton loves having a back with deuces talent and ability for a inside bruiser, I get the feeling his long term plan will be to get a poor mans deuce alla pittman and use his big cap number in other places.

just my opinion on the way I see the future playing out, what do you guys think?
