Glad Bushrod is gone!

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I disagree. Brees may hold it too long at times, but nothing compared to other QB's, like let's say, Cutler. Allowing more combined sacks, hits and hurries than any available offensive lineman over the past two years is a major ...

hits and hurries than any available offensive lineman over the past two years is a major red flag in my opinion. No loss here.

He would usually have the opponents best pass rusher, so on those rare occasions when he wanted to hold the ball forever, he'd sometimes have to pay for it. We won the Super Bowl with Bushrod. He was good. He can be replaced, but this loss hurts a bit

Be careful defining everyone on a Super Bowl Winning team as good... That was also 4 years ago... Tike takes its toll on players.

Trent Dilfer has a SB ring...

In 2009 this is 2013. Should we try to get Willie Roaf under contract this season? He was better.

What are you getting at? Jermon Bushrod is 28 years old.

Like I said, Drew Brees holds the ball for a LONG time every now and then. Bushrod isn't the greatest LT we've ever had, but he was definitely a good one.

Then nobody is even considering the fact we played from behind a lot. We're already a predominantly passing team. Everybody knew to just pin their ears back and rush.
