Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I understand what you are saying, but, at the same time, other safeties in the NFL also played against rookies, first-time starters, and teams coming from behind during the regular season, and they didn't intercept 9 balls and scored 3 TDs.

As for Sharper's playoff performance, first, the playoff teams made it to the playoffs because they don't make many mistakes to begin with. And, a lot of times you really can't argue just numbers when talking defense. For example, Tracy Porter made 2 crucial interceptions and scored a TD in the playoffs and SB, and Greer made none. So who had the better run? Sure Tracy made 2 heady plays in reading the QBs and routes and his highlights were all over ESPN and the NFL Network, but the opposing QB's reluctance to throwing the ball to Greer's side gave Tracy the opportunity to make those plays. So just like shying away from Greer, Warner, Farve, Manning, they probably also shied away from Sharper because they knew of his skills, and thus giving Tracy the chance to become the Legend Slayer ..

Oh so you think your better than me??...What a joke pal...you dont have a clue do you..You expect me to bow to your all Saints knowledge and not have an opinon...dream on buddy..your messing with one diehard branded fan..

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I know for a fact that both Greer and Porter are EXCELLENT players and both had fantastic postseasons. I also know that our pass Defense dropped from 9th to 23rd in pass defense rankings when they were both out. It's the exact reason why I think Sharper is overated. Without Porter, Greer, and Gay in the lineup Sharper is not the same player. They make him better, not the other way around.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I don't think I'm better than you. You obviously still haven't learned how to read my post. I am more informed than you. Much more, and therefore it makes no sense for me to continue having a conversation with you. You can't say anything of interest to me, because you don't know what you are talking about.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Well wont Greer and Porter be back???...and wouldnt Sharper teamed with them be e pretty good secondary?..i think so ..so whats your point?

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I think it is a two way street. It takes a good 5 players to make a good secondary. But yes our corners did help Sharper quite a bit. And our corners were helped by having Sharper instead of Kaesviharn behind them.

I've been a member of this forum since 2003 pal. Don't talk to me about diehard fandome. I've seen enough members come and go on this forum over the past 7 years that I can spot a wanna be when I see one.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Ok suits me just fine...next time you want to try and degrade someone and you get called out ..remember you struck first pal..

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

C'mon stockman... the Saints won the Superbowl. What is with the piss on the world attitude?

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

If you look at Greer's DVOA numbers from last year he was the second highest rated CB in the league last year behind only Darell Revis. I.E. He helped Sharper much more than Sharper helped him. As I said I really like Sharper, but age is age and players don't generally get better at FS as they get closer to 35. They get worse.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

So can i ...and you dont really matter to me one way or the other...i know where my heart is at...so does anyone who knows me...

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I'm not saying I'm wanting HOF quality LBs, those come once a generation, sometimes once a franchise. Teams that are built correctly find quality players to replace quality players that leave (Steelers, Patriots, Colts, Eagles) this franchise has never done that. I just want the Saints to find the best player that gives this team the best chance to repeat as champs or to be competitive for years to come. To Loomis, Fujita has asked more than what the team thought he was worth (I have to agree) so they let him walk.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I don't have a piss on the world attitude. I just want people to think before they type. I think sometimes people just post on here because they have fingers and can type. My dream is to see the level of sophistication and knowlege rise on this board so that we are the best, and most well informed fans in the league. Unfortunately, if you call out anyone for any reason in today's PC environment you are just being an A-hole evidently. Well that's BS. I will continue to call out posts, that I find to be driven by drama and hysterics instead of common sense.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Ok, search through my posts and you can eat away a few weeks to call them all out. Have fun. :mrgreen:

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Really...lol...what does he expect ..what a critic ..i just said i was steamed we let Fujita go ...and now im a worthless..misinformed fan.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I don't care where your heart lies. I'm sure you are a Saints fan. No doubt about it. Saints fans are my people. I was born and raised in the city and I bleed black and gold, but what I don't do is allow that passion to overcome common sense, when it comes to personnel moves. Players will come and go, and that is the business of football.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Are u paying the players?...if not your opinion is about as worthless as mine...now passion is where i have you beat..

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

There's a reason we didn't match Cleveland. And it had nothing to with the man and everyting to do with money. If you don't think the entire league revolves around the dollar then I don't know what to tell you. When we don't have any football in 2011 are you going to be "steamed" about it?

Is that going to help your life any to be "steamed" about something that has nothing to do with you and beyond your control?

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Whatever you say pal. I was on Bourbon St. the second the Saints won the Superbowl and hugged and high fived about 5 thousand strangers that night until about 4 AM. I've got more passion in my little finger than you have in your whole body.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

So basically anyone who isn't Tom Benson has no value to their opinon is what your saying? What a joke. Trust me when I tell you, my opinion may not be worth much, but it has more value than yours.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Dude give me a break...if theres no football in 2011..im sure the everyone will be STEAMED!!..its my right to be mad..i liked Fujita and wanted him to stay..thats my right as a fan...Who the hell are you to tell me to shut up and not be mad..Do you think you own these boards?..lol..Get a grip man

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

THIS IS GETTING PLUM STUPID NEITHER OF YOU MAKE ANY DECISIONS QUIT FILLING THIS NBOARD WITH SENSELESS ARGUMENTS AND PERSONAL POT SHOTS! AGREE TO DISAGREE AND MOVE ON CELEBRATE TOGETHER WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I will agree that I hate the Falcons.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I agree..and as far as Saints Einstien...he is a pretty crappy guy...and no friend of mine..

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Fine, Im a pretty crappy guy. Instead of trying to LISTEN and LEARN something about the business and performance side of football, you'd rather just stick to your guns. Great.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Well if u apologized for being an ass ..i might forget this..

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

THANK YOU SCOTT! ALL THE BEST.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I will apologize for being an ass when you admit that I am a more informed fan than you when it comes to the performance and financial matters of the New Orleans Saints.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Not a chance..i can find any info you can pal..its called the internet..lol

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Well then, that's the spirit. Maybe henceforth we can all start looking forward to more well informed posts from you. Hooray!! I suggest as your first step, to google the words A** and First Base and see what you come up with.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Your showing your true colors...how does it feel??...make you happy to know your the smartest Saints fan?..We should have the Stockman award..for the biggest a$$*&$e....

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I'm all for it, as long I get to create the trophy and present it each year.

It would be like the Calvin and Hobbs' Ford sticker, made entirely of brass, except it would have stockman written on the back of Calvins shirt and instead of Ford, it would say Strato! I think that a great deal of members would fight to win it each year. We could have a ceremony and everything.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Well until we have a new winner its all your to cherish..You earned it..lol..

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

That's fantastic! I've got so many people to thank...let me go get my list.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

But, dude, you take both the starting corners out, especially the type of corners Jabari and Tracy are, and then put a combination of Usama-Jenkins-Gay playing corner, of course your pass defense is going to suffer, regardless of who plays FS for you. None of the replacements at CB can cover routes or re-route receivers like Jabari and Tracy can.

I don't know if Sharper is over-rated or not, or who is over-rating him, but compared against the other FSs in the league, he made the plays when he had the opportunity and the others didn't. That's it.

How much he gets paid, that's not for me to decide. It is not my money, but I am not going to say he does or doesn't deserve a certain amount of money because he plays with better corners or worse corners.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

When did I stumble back onto SR ... wtf

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I can agree with this. However, I will tell you that the Saints just aren't going to overpay for aging veterans. They have already proven they won't with Fujita. IF there had been a cap this year the Saints would have been over it, and I expect them to be fiscally responsible this year in case the cap comes back next year. If another teams comes in at $5MM-$6MM or mutliple years (3 years) on Sharper he is as good as gone IMHO. Thanks for the post.

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

I dont know..i guess he feels its ok to degrade folks...oh and i like the avatar,,i did the same thing for my brother...it was a feeling like no other..

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Thanks ... I plan on doing more pics for a superbowl tribute the next time I'm in Lafayette

Re: Fujita Signs with Browns * MERGE*
 

Yep i agree..and without thinking of his age that right there is top five safety money..
