papz · 12-21-2014, 03:47 PM

Mail it in for a higher pick or finish the season on a high note?

This game I play players I want to evaluate for next yr like jean Baptiste, Saunders, and players like Brees I will take out after the half. Evaluating players take precedent over trying win.

No way Brees sits until he goes over 5000. I'd rather he not play at all.

I agree. I do not agree with with , well, let it go for a higher pick.

Saints will be in high draft as it is.

You play to win each game and they should play to win each game and each qrtr.

That seems part of the many problems for this year.

"Oh well, the other guy is running too fast and is almost in the redzone so I'll just do a light jog behind my opponent."

"Oppsy daisy. I dropped the ball...again."

Finishing 8-8 would been good to be .500 , save face, some kind of pride.
Now, they are 6-9.
Next week, 7-9 or 6-10.
I think 7-9 is better, but still a losing season and still mailing it in for an unproven draft picks, trades, regrouping, etc. for 2015.

I think we don't intentionally mail it in, I just think the bucs beat us anyway lol

Give the players that you need to see a game
Powell,Kasim Edebali,Baptise etc all should see time.Id like to see if Ryan Griffin is good enough to be the number 2 next year aswell

I like it. Kill two birds with one stone. Higher draft pick and see some player development.

Some things I want to see:

SJB starting- need to see what he can do.

Lelito starting- should have been all year.

Bress on the bench- no point in getting him hurt.

New Guards playing as well- Sergio is one that needs to start.

Virgel starting- again I would like to see what he can do.

Bottom line is we need to get the young guys out there to see what we have.
