Clueless boob.

So their main argument is that last year Bailey fared less well than Corey White when one was covering #1 WR's and the other was covering #3 and 4 WR's until injuries forced him higher on the depth chart?!

I think the article raises some valid concerns, re: Bailey's play last year. But it also depends on the supposition that we're paying him too much, based on a figure of 2 years/7 million. The problem with that is 7 million is the max, not the actual number. Unless he becomes the Champ Bailey of old and starts making Pro Bowls and All-Pro teams again his actual pay is likely to be much lower than 7 million.

Also, if worst case scenario Bailey is slightly less effective than Corey White was last year, I think that's a big win for us. White was extremely good down the stretch.

If he does play like the Champ of old, then we just won 100 mil on the penny slots

i do not see Champ starting at all. he is a veteran that will do spot duty and will be a player coach IMO. This is not the first time the saints have done this. odds are champ will not collect the big bucks in the contract but he stands a good chance at getting that ring,

Will Osgood?

And his opinion rates higher than Sean and Loomie...because why, again?

Yeah. That's what I thought.

Champ fought foot injuries all last year, so going off last years stats is a mute argument
