Fitzgerald a Saint ?

Saintaintso · 10-19-2013, 05:25 PM

I'm tired of having players that just suck up cap space and can't get an inch of separation ... Just an ounce of me wants to see what Brees could do with someone that refuses to be covered ... Hell I'd like to have Steve smith ! Our receivers depend too much on Drew and the route getting them open ... I want a fiery in your face

Just a note but there are some big WRs coming into the league these next few years. Stills looks to be a starter for a while and adding Fitz with him and another youngster is what's dreams are made of. But I doubt it.

Now MJD would be another fun story.

Which of our current WR's are you talking about? Colston? Moore? No one else is sucking up much cap room at all.

Bring another star into paytons scheme ... Next thing you know we'll be complaining he disappeared!

I think we could easily get Fitz, Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, and Desean Jackson for league minimum if they wanted a ring. Maurice Jones Drew and Adrian Petersen in the backfield, with Pierre and Sproles....Jimmy Graham on one side and Vernon Davis on the other....just think of the schemes and possibilities Payton could draw up, imagine the rings they would get with Drew quarterbacking....make it happen, Loomis....oh and by the way, I am ten years old and am posting from my mom's computer while she is at the beauty parlor.

Through the first four games, he was averaging 74.5 yards per game, which would be almost 1200 yards and second most of his career with the Saints, and likely hurt (as you mentioned.) It will take more than two games for me to call for cutting his ass.

Colston and Moore have plenty left in the tank imo.The great thing is that in Toon and Stills they may have great competition to keep them needing to perform or risk getting cut/traded in the long term.

Funny how the players look at the Saints now as a team to win a Super Bowl with. I think that gives us bargaining power on these deals.
Tony Gonzalez left KC and went to Atlanta cuz he smelled a SB shot with the dirty ones. How are those Chief's doing now?

Agreed, IIRC Colston disappears for a few games nearly every year. We usually hear about some minor injury that was bugging him well after the fact.

Moore has always had stretches where he disappeared.
