now lets see what cards he is dealt for year 2

i gave rob time under a self imposed gag order. i hated him before the ink dried

and i like DA so i can give him time.

2 1/2 years if he makes it that long.

And why wouldn't he? If I was you I would be hoping he would be the long term answer rather than implying that he WILL fail. I have a feeling that you want to say that you were right. What would that mean?

It would mean our D failed again.Let the D underperform and I'll let you tell me I was right. No more excuses.

So you are apparently hoping that happens for your self satisfaction. That is exactly the response I expected when I asked the question.

I have never, and will never, think negatively about my Saints. I have lived and breathed the Saints since I was nine years old back in the summer of 1967 when my father was transferred through the Air Force to Louisiana and I discovered my new state was getting its own NFL team. At no point over the past fifty years have I ever denigrated the Saints. I have never complained. I have simply enjoyed the fact that I have my own team to SUPPORT day in and day out. I have received quite a bit of ridicule over the years because of my non dying support, but I never have and never will speak badly of them or theirs. Win, lose, draw ... I will never, ever stop giving the Saints my utmost, most fervent, support.

I will always continue to support everything about the team that I have supported wholeheartedly for most of my long life to this point. It is not personal toward you and others like you. It is VERY personal for me, however. VERY PERSONAL!
