Why the Saints Suck

BillyCarpenter1 · 09-10-2003, 07:51 PM

Your right Billy there is now way to tell if we could of signed those other players because we did\'nt even try.

I don\'t know that to be a fact. But even IF we did know for a FACT that they didn\'t try to sign them -- maybe they knew they couldn\'t or maybe there were other reasons why they didn\'t pursue them.

If you wanna know who signed the best players -- I\'ll tell ya right now that the Bills did.

We basically traded Rickey Williams for Sullivan. The Dolphins must laugh themselves silly every time they think about it.

Actually it was 2 picks. We selected Charles Grant and parlayed the other pick to get Sullivan.

And after Houston waxed their ass this week in Miami, I doubt they are laughing at anything right now.

Check back in 2 years and see who\'s laughing.

Well suger-b one thing is for sure ... this team has regressed. Despite what Billy C. says it does not take a season of games to see this. While I am not a fan of the current coaching leadership I will take up for Benson more than I will let people throw the man under the bus. Benson is not a football man and sine Finks has left us it appears Benson has been taken advantage of by people he has hired to the point he gets backed into a corner.

Being in California there is a great example of a team not needing the high profile players to be winners. Of course I am talking about the A\'s, a team with one of the lowest payrolls and consistently with the 2nd best record the last 5 or so yrs.

I look at this team as one that is now lost in mass confusion. To me it looks like the original plan has been modified and changed so much that it is just a pile of thrown together parts. Used parts at that. Ever work a Rubicks cube puzzle? This team was only about 2 or 3 squares away from having the cube finished with all the colors aligned on all sides. Well, they twisted and turned the thing so much now the cube is getting in worse shape then when they started. They keep turning the cube hoping to find a new starting spot but can\'t find it. Damn they were so close.

I knew sooner or later we would agree on something.. :P

It\'s all good though. You\'re entitled to your opinions. Just as long as I\'m right in the end.

That\'s good news that the Saints finally signed someone as a backup RB. however they also released Hawthorne. Is that not like stealing from Paul to give to Peter? Now we\'re short at the Saftey spot. (Not like Hawthorne is going to be really missed)
Are there any rumors going around about the organization trying to improve, or are we content trying to take a page from the Ottawa Senators playbook. (sorry about the hockey reference)

Guys I went to the game in Seattle and I saw first hand what was going on. As soon as we lost Darren Howard the Hawks went to that side. We have the tallent, they just need to play up to their ability. Trading and making players fit is kind of half knowledge and half luck anymore so you can\'t always blame the establishment. The Saints just have to get it together, we didn\'t lose many players on offense and if anything might have upgraded at some spots so I feel like they just played poorly and that\'s on the players themselves. My garbage man doesn\'t make a million a year but he makes sure he empties my trash pretty much the same every time. I think people making as much as they do should be earning their money. I agree the there were some questionable moves and things that the management could have done differently to make the team better but I\'m not sure I could do better so I\'ll just watch and see. By the way, did they really sign Carter back today? I felt like that was a funny move to cut him also. You guys talk about not being able to see the Saints, I pay for Directv every year and then I say I won\'t again but I do... always a fan huh?
