I'm perturbed because we sunk a ton of money in a TE who drops the ball and is only healthy about 2/3 of a season and a DB for some stupid 3 safety scheme when we could have used the money elsewhere. We could have gotten players to beef up our LBers and O line which were shaky all through last season. We could have focused on bringing in players that we could start building on up front in the trenches where the game is won or lost.
You can have the highest paid backfield in the world but if your guys up front can't grasp the basic principles of tackling and blocking then its a waste of money. A good front can make up for a shaky backfield but a decent backfield can't make up for crappy line and Lber play.
We won, yea, but we made another red shirt QB look elite and got taken to OT in our own house by a ****tyt team.
Brees, all by his lonesome, gave the Bucs 14 points. That's a problem.
Brees also is the man who leads the comeback, especially if his mistakes create the hole. That's why he gets a pass.

I agree with you because I am very disappointed in Jimmy Graham especially since he got paid. The drops are unacceptable! Right before he was hurt the Saints threw to him 3 times in the red zone and we racked up three drops and three and out.

I also feel the Byrd deal is gonna cream us in the coming years. He may end up dead weight and we won't be able to upgrade positions because his contract is back loaded and guaranteed. After reading Buffalo fans about Byrd, they were ready for him to go because he wanted more money and since he was paid (the last time), his performance declined. I just think we could have gotten a stud OLB and a veteran O-lineman with that money and got a lot more for our money.
