BUSHROD MAKES MORE MONEY THAN EVANS BECAUSE BUSHROD IS A PRO BOWL LEFT TACKLE AND EVANS, though the best guard in the league, IS STILL JUST A GUARD! Left tackles make more. Who are we going to replace our reasonably price pro bowl tackle with? A 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round shot in the dark? We're trying to win now. When the Brees window closes...this success thing is over.

I get your point, but I'm not sure you get my point... Of course left tackles are paid more than guards, but in relative terms Evans is the highest paid guard in the league (last time I checked) just about making the list of Top 100 highest paid players in the NFL.

Now do you honestly think that Bushrod deserves to be paid almost a third more than Evans for his services regardless of the position he plays and, furthermore, saying that the Saints are paying him very little in terms of left tackle money?

Which one is more important to the Saints' O-Line in your opinion... both protection and blocking-wise?

Evans is a better player and more important than Bushrod and should be paid more, but the best players in the league aren't necessarily the highest paid and it's because of the position they play. And I'll continue to say that Bushrod is good value at his current price, only because of the position he plays.

I'm also not sure why we're spending so much time talking about Bushrod. A lot of people were trashing him and want him gone. That's just an awful idea.
