Drew Brees has thrown interceptions before. We should have kept Aaron Brooks.

man i had tooo much 2 drink, during the game. didn't see it, hell i had to get online first thing this morning to see what the score was.

Re: "I hope you're watching!"
 

Since I work with statistics as a daily part of my job, I can tell you one thing about them with complete confidence. There are only statistics for what you measure. Makes sense, right?

When someone starts measuring the impact Bush has on a defense, just because he's on the field and regardless if he gets the ball, I'll think it might be possible to lean on stats as my only means of evaluating his contribution.

It is not an equal comparison. It is also a typical example of the absolute garbage that comes out of the sensationalized news coverage of modern athletic events. Peterson to be one of the greatest of all time, eh? He's Walter Payton, Gale Sayers, Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, eh? I'm not aiming this at Canton, because he's just quoting a sports media culture that lacks any semblance of credibility.

One thing is a fact. Peterson has a bad fumbling problem and the national media IS pointing it out.

Re: "I hope you're watching!"
 

you will never hear me say he is better than guys like walter payton and barry sanders.....jim brown was before his time and while i would immediately rank him in the top 3 ever, i just think it had a lot to do with him being before his time

gale sayers isnt in the same sentence as walter payton, barry sanders and jim brown even tho he is a hall of famer as well

walter payton is the epitome of what a running back should be....he was quick on his feet....he was strong and strong willed....he was quiet to the media but a great influence to kids and a great volunteer in the community

emmit smith has the rushing record....but walter payton still has the title as best running back ever IMO

like you said....i was just regurgitating the media but the comparison is still nonsense

Re: "I hope you're watching!"
 

Common people. We are 4 and 0. Who cares if Reggie fumbled the ball, so di Adrian Peterson against Green Bay. These things happen. Its not like its developed into a pattern. Hes more of an asset to this team than a liability. As soon as defenses start to think they have him contained he breaks free for either a touchdown or a long gain. Lets hope we continue to carry our momentum over to the Giants game. Good thing its at home. GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Re: "I hope you're watching!"
 

I agree with everything you said, especially about Sweetness being the absolute greatest running back of all time. However, this statement struck me as odd.

I know Sayers' career was short because of injury, but the guy was simply amazing. Many players who played against him (and other names on our short list) still regard Sayers as the greatest half back that ever played the game. He scored 22 TD in his rookie season, about 1 TD for every 10 touches. He scored 6 TDs (4 rushing, 1 receiving, and 1 punt return) in one game against the 49ers, and in that game the field was a sloshy mud-bowl. Sayers still leads the league for TDs among kickoff returners all time (with at least four TDs). He only had 91 returns, and 6 were TDs. To put it in a modern perspective, Devin Hester has 6 TDs over 94 returns - but Sayers return average is 6 yards per return better and he has 600 more return yards than Hester with 3 fewer total returns!

Finally, Sayers made the HoF with only five years in the NFL. That's virtually unheard of. While Payton still is the ultimate in RB perfection in every facet of the game on and off the field, I do not think there's any overstatement to put Sayers' name in the same sentence with him.

Just my opinion, of course.

Re: "I hope you're watching!"
 

All I am saying is, if you want to have an opinion- can you first provide the mean, variance and standard deviation. Thanks!

Re: "I hope you're watching!"
 

I would apply the empirical against the perceptive, and esoterically contrast the rhetorical consideration, guarding against unrelated variances.
