Sometimes it might be better to relieve that pressure...

Because you can bet with that fanbase, there's a lot of pressure to get a passer...

Especially after letting Wentz get by them...

Maybe they sign Cousins.

That's what I was thinking too - they have the most torpedoes to make it happen...

But Taylor could be there to take the beatings until the offense is installed and they draft one this year...

Browns have signed Tyrod Taylor for a 3rd rounder. They are in a good position with some great picks. The new front office making some good moves. They are getting into a good position in the AFC north with a poor Bungles and in trouble Ravens and a ading Steelers

Wow...Welcome Aboard TP/Nola.com, Black & Gold was discussing Colvin a month ago...Does Holder & Company just repeat the press releases?

To think the same draft as he went in the 4th (although injury related) the Saints drafted Stanley Jean-Baptiste in the second

Telvin Smith went in tbe 5th

It's okay, you can wake up now as Jeff Ireland joined the Saints front office and brought sanity and confidence to the personnel staffing...

Jarvis Landry was on the board when we took Stanley Jean Baptiste. I blame Richard Sherman for that pick. Very similar combine measurables to SJB. Like identical. Decent ball skills too. Too bad you can't coach a guy into being aggressive or physical. And you can't. Name me the time you transformed an athletic RB who prefered scampering out of bounds to smashing people(Mario Bates). Right. Reggie Bush might have done this. But it's very rare.

Many NFL Scouts, Front Office types are not leaders, but part of a group think of do what the other guys do and don't do something to get yourself fired...

Most of these same people have those jobs because of nepotism and not because of any real leadership or ability...

Even among our own scouts, several are there because of who they know and not what they know...
