Explain how you're not.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[6]

Let's be honest with ourselves.

Bushrod was a cap loss.

Sacrifices had to be made.

I'm not blaming Loomis.

Loomis' job is too make sure assets don't leave because of cap issues; so either Bushrod wasn't worth the money or Loomis failed by allowing the Saints to be in a disadvantage in retaining the departed's services...

With the contracts to Ryan and Julio coming up now, Falcons fans are gonna get to share in the same cap purgatory, yet worse, have the second best quarterback in the division - how's that working out for you?

Your assuming we'll be weak at left tackle, valid assumption possibly; but let me ask you, wasn't Anthony Munoz, Willie Roaf, Tony Boselli Rookies?!?

Armstead's measurements charted new benchmarks, but we'll temper our expectations and be pleasantly surprised...

...good thing you won't have to wait long to see how good the Left Tackle position for the Saints is gonna play out...

It does not matter how "impressive" the kid is - it matters how quickly he can pick up the stronger & faster players & the new & probably much more complicated system then he played in college.

Yep, which is why I think it'll be at least 1/2 season minimum before he's ready.
