this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Henderson needs a major salary cut and even then I would question the front office....

I'm also tempted to cover his hands in Gorilla Glue or wrap him in double sided tape from head to toe. |

As far as pocket awareness goes, I think he's right there with Peyton, but Drew has more mobility than Peyton, which allows him to escape in situations where Peyton would just take the sack. You forgot to mention all the 3rd and longs that David gave up (hence why I call him 3rd Down). About Mare... the thing with Mare is that we know he was playing hurt. He was money on the onside kicks, and got a lot of touchbacks... kicking field goals is very different from kicking kickoffs... now we have El Enano Pateador, who has made all field goals so far... I guess they'll compete for the spot next pre-season... |

Re: Player turnover..........
I respect your opinion, but I can not see your justification in keeping a player, who you admittedly called the worst offensive player on the team.

Maybe I think the Magic Gloves Fairy™ will pay him a visit and he'll start catching more passes. Maybe hearing "Devery Henderson drops another pass" triggers some subliminal euphoria in my subconscious. Maybe I know that I'll never be subjected to hearing him call himself Uno Nueve. At least I didn't say "LET'S KEEP JASON DAVID!". I'm not *that* stupid. |

The Saints will not be able to afford to keep him. And IIRC didn't we spend a #1 draft pick on an explosive receiver? SFIAH |
