New Orleans Saints: 5 Irreplaceable Players for 2013 NFL Season

Re: 5 Irreplaceable New Orleans Saints for 2013 NFL Season
 

I agree with all but Greer.

Re: 5 Irreplaceable New Orleans Saints for 2013 NFL Season
 

Toss out Greer and insert Lewis and I'm OK.

In fact, after Brees, Graham, Colston you could reasonably argue quite a few players at 4 and 5.

PT, Grubbs, Evans, Moore, Bunkley, Ingram, Sproles, DLP, Jordan.

Losing any of those guys puts us in a bind.

I'd even argue against PT. He'd better be replaceable. A season (and post season) long healthy RB is a very rare commodity. We need to be ready for him to be out for a bit.

I suspect that his screen ability is what put him on that list.

Re: 5 Irreplaceable New Orleans Saints for 2013 NFL Season
 

True, and to be clear there's really only one irreplaceable player on our roster this year.

We can survive signing a stop gap vet or a practice squad guy or even making a trade to address any position on our team and keep on dominating.

There's only one player that would destroy our season. The rest is simply a ranking of each players impact.

1. Sean Payton/Drew Brees
2. Jahri Evans
3. Marques Colston/Lance Moore
4. Curtis Lofton
5. Jimmy Graham

Pretty much Drew is the only "irreplaceable" player in terms of the probability of not being able to win without him on the field.

Every other single player is replaceable when you look at it in terms of, "we have won with him on the sidelines, or injured and only at 60% before".

When Drew plays banged up its a rough game to watch.

this.

What? No mention of Roby? Seriously though, as long as Drew is under center he is the only one we could not do without.
