What if Browner stays?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; He stays. Unless something major has changed, this organization has shown time and time again they wont swallow their pride and admit they made a mistake. That being said watch what happens if we somehow manage to improve our pass ...

He stays. Unless something major has changed, this organization has shown time and time again they wont swallow their pride and admit they made a mistake.
That being said watch what happens if we somehow manage to improve our pass rush next season. My bet is that Browner will go from one of the most hated Saints ever to bright spot.

Good example. Junior Galette acting like a total maniac on a beach was COMPLETELY the Saints mistake, of which they obviously admitted to.

That's exactly the same thing as blowing enormous amounts of money on players who perform poorly on the field... Clearly.

I will give you kudos for trying really, really hard. But I am almost started to feel bad for you. Almost..

lol... You almost felt sorry for me. That's good to know. But you don't have any real substantive response. So I guess that pity would have been misplaced.

Well, I guess I am going to have to explain it, as usual.

See? Sometimes in life, we all make decisions which, at the time we make them, may look like good decisions (like for example, my decision of acknowledging you by replying to your post). And sometimes, we look at all the options, good and bad, and feel making a particular decision is the right thing to do.

Then, time proves us wrong; time tells us "you made a mistake".

Then, what do we do? If we have the power to rectify it, do we continue living with this mistake? Or do we do something about it to correct it, or at least mitigate it somehow?

In the case of the Saints and Galette, for starters, neither you or I, or anyone outside the Saints organization knows what went into the decision of giving Galette the payday he was given: we don't know if the Saints knew about incidents and just gambled, we don't know if they had no idea Galette was a head case or not; we don't know if Galette exhibited issues in the locker room...

However, given how disruptive Galette became in the locker room (which I am willing to bet weighted much more than Galette dishing out leather at the beach), time proved the decision to give Galette his payday was a mistake. So the Saints released him.

As to why I chose the picture of Galette belting women for my post: I was looking for a picture of Galette grinning, but I came across that one, and I thought it was more fun to post that one.

Do you get it now, or do I have to bring out the smaller spoon?

Your condescending attempt of an explanation was a waste of both your time and mine. You knew before posting that, that I know exactly what it means to recognize a mistake. So why don't you think of a more mature approach than pretending I'm an idiot.

My point was simple. Your example was poor. A guy acting like a maniac, and having video of such left the Saints with no choice. It wasn't their mistake that he turned out that way.

Do you really think if they knew anything prior to paying him that he was like this, that they would have given him that contract? If they knew before and didn't care, what would have changed suddenly? Nothing. They paid him because he was coming off a 12 sack season. At the time, it made football sense. He had proven something on the field.

We're talking about football decisions in here, or did you forget? When someone does what Galette did, there isn't any decision to make, or mistake to admit. You just get rid of him.

Not nearly the same thing as giving extensions to aging, declining players or paying Will Smith like he was Bruce Smith, or all of the free agents they've swung and missed on.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
