Check out what Jason Whitlock thinks about the Saints

FrenzyFan · 01-01-2010, 09:04 AM

I'm having a hard time arguing with his statement that he never really believed in the Saints. How can I? There have been quite a few games this year where we only played good ball for half the game, or we got really lucky when it mattered most. While it was happening a lot of people said, "that's what good teams do" and I would agree with that. If you don't follow the Saints as much as we do, you might not feel the same way.

I would also offer that good teams don't fold down the stretch and that's exactly what our Saints have done for the last month. When it mattered and we needed the win, we couldn't pull it out. That's enough to cast doubt on our team for anyone who's not blinded by homerism.

I will offer that we needed to beat teams like Philly, NY, (both of them), Atlanta, and NE to prove to people that we are real and can beat teams with winning records...and to position ourselves to be able to rest at the end of the season while others scramble. (although all the scrambling is over, for the most part)

I don't see how we could have lost any games that mattered and still come out as number one seed. It would appear to me that we won all of the games that mattered up to this point.

No drama here, its just about respect and the lack of respect that the Saints get. I will admit that for years we didn't deserve it but to say he never believed in the Saints even after going 13-0 are you kidding me?

Then with that Paul, Whitlock is still behind his preseason pick... but I see your point about the general media. It's been like that since forever and it'll never change. It's so standard these days I just don't see why one would frustrate oneself over something so nit picky.

This is just my opinion on the MVP voting... besides DeSean Jackson being there (you can see why Whitlock put him there because he's an Eagles fan), I honestly feel everyone behind Manning are interchangeable. If he would have completely snubbed Brees out of his top 5, I'd probably hold some resentment towards him... but he didn't.

It is what it is. If Drew wins the SB this year...he will be higher rated next year. If he falters...it will be more of the same.

The Saints won the NFC regular season tourney. (1st time for this, I believe) Nobody can ever take that away from them. Now, they need to win the playoff tourney...and an MVP for Drew would work wonders for his resume. All the talk in the world regarding straightening people out on how good we are is simply that...talk. We need to prove it on the field...it's that simple.

In a couple of posts this guy is called a reporter. He is not.

He is just another writer in a very long line that spouts his opinions like a drunk at a bar, just trying to start an argument.

Look in the same article what he wrote about Meyer. I don't like Florida, but even I can see how disrepectful that piece is. And when did 'reporters' start writing about who they hope would win?

Whitlock the Wack.....he never makes much sense..just a big hot air bag ..that gets paid to spew his garbage...i hate when he fills in for Rome..he always tries to seem smarter than his listeners..Oh well we win the superbowl and we shut all these wackjobs up...

I like his articles. Everyone else beats the same drum and repeats the same lines. At least he gives a different perspective. He definatly make an entertaining read.

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
