Everyone is a moonshiner again....

Lets look at this from a different view. Is all that is going on (Brees contract, losing FA's, Boutygate" the end of the world?

Hell no. I havent been a fan since the 70's or anything, but ive had my fair share of severe disappointment with the team. I remember when we had FAs that wouldnt even come to Nawlins for a visit, regardless of what offered them. Now we have the Top QB in the league. Two of the top 5 guards in the league. And some of that is in danger of changing. Disappointing yes, end of world no.

I'll address FA's first. We can look at it two ways, either our scouting dept is out of this world, or our coaching staff. Somehow, this team has taken more lowdrafted/undrafted players that anyone else, and made them into probowlers, year in and year out. Now who gets credit? Amazing scouting dept or product of system we run? PRODUCT OF SYSTEM. Plug in names here and there to replace those we lose in FA and we keep chugging along. I trust the FO and draft team to continue this.

Drew Brees. Best QB in league. Best QB before him, Manning, signs a backloaded deal with little up front, next year has four neck surgeries, and is now looking for a job. Can anyone understand why Brees is looking for money up front? There is no loyalty from front office. Contracts are not 100% performance based, would be great if they were. Our defense would have counted for 5% of our salary cap if that was the case last year. THEY WILL WORK OUT A DEAL.

I love Moonshine. We fish the mountains in TN and the locals hook us up. Here is a hint for those wanting moonshine. Let somebody else drink first then wait 15 minutes. If they didn't go blind enjoy the buzz.
