What we think has nothing to do with anything and will affect nothing. I am pretty sure we can have divergent perspectives on here. I think, however, it becomes problematic when a fairly significant investment limits purchasing and performance power across the team. If, as they suggests, we wont be able to hold onto Ingram next year, or pay for a decent replacement, then that little cap becomes an issue I couldn't give a crap about free market politics, spread of wealth or healthcare... It is simply the reality of being able to spread talent across a team. If we are able to deck the floor, great, if not... problems. I'd rather they removed the cap, tbh, then we could just get on with it. |

Re: PFT Live: Can Saints offense overcome shaky defense?
Does Drew have the option to free up money from restructuring his own contract to help the Saints sign free agents? I honestly don't know, and I am not trying to be an @$$ with the question.
As far as paying dudes goes, it's how much the team is willing to pay. Free market capitalism. If Drew wants to spread the wealth (if he even can?) to help lure some free agents and dabble in some NFL socialism, let him. If he don't, let him. The dude has kids...game-changer when it comes to money. |

I'm not saying that DB is having a great year ... but I think your analysis gives him both too much credit and too much discredit. And, it is this special theory of relative blame that gives me pause this year -- ESPECIALLY when the theory involves only one player. I start hearing game show error buzzers. |

But, guess what? Without the check and balance of the salary cap this game would become as much fun to watch as politics. So.... the team becomes a community, and thereby dependent on each other to work together ( kumbayah ) and the financial incentives for individuals can become de-incentivizing for the whole team. So, rant all you want about free-market capitalism -- just meet us back here to b*tch when individual stud players get paid what the market will bear. |
Shutdown defense in 2017 = Championship!

Almost Brett favre-esque trying to complete a pass whilst falling down and throwing a wounded duck straight to the defender I would say drew Brees has lost his ability to protect the football, seen as he is missing open receivers and throwing into double coverage - see the Dallas interception. |

Re: PFT Live: Can Saints offense overcome shaky defense?
offense can carry the defense that has looked shaky at times
what games has he been watching? at times? yeah right! more like at times actually played, this is his usual pr stuff he puts out every year. other than that it was a good piece. |
