this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Okay ... so maybe you're not a pessimist. Maybe you're a "hopeful realist". To me, though, a "pessimist" by any other name is still the same. ;) Just ask ol' man Webster!! :D Enough small talk. I have a question ...

Question for the Pessimists?
Okay ... so maybe you're not a pessimist. Maybe you're a "hopeful realist".
To me, though, a "pessimist" by any other name is still the same. ;) Just ask ol' man Webster!! :D Enough small talk. I have a question for you pessimists. I mean "hopeful realist". Okay ... here goes!! If a 16 oz. glass has 8 oz. of water in it ... Is it half empty or half full? Just kidding. But feel free to answer?! LMAO!! :D :D Enough kidding around: Is there any one player the Saints could draft this weekend that would make you think the Saints are a true playoff contender? [Edited on 22/4/2005 by GumboBC] |

Billy, you should know there\'s no such thing as a pessimist. There all realists.
There\'s only two kinds of people on this board, stupid optimists and realists. |

Question for the Pessimists?
they don\'t need anyone to be a playoff \"contender\". they already are. they got as close as you could without making it last year. if they didn\'t have one draft pick i think they could make the playoffs. making the cut to playoffs in the nfl isn\'t much above the nhl anymore. heck, by that grand scale, probably 75% of the nfl contends for the playoffs. i just want more than a schizophrenic performing mediocre team that flirts with or just makes it into the playoffs though. single players can push ya to another level but single players do not make championship contending teams.

Question for the Pessimists?
I\'m not sure that any 1 player puts us in the playoffs. But if we got a smart contributing offensive tackle and a quality smart, starting linebacker, then I like our chances to at least play in a wildcard game. But we have to stop making stupid decisions. |

Question for the Pessimists?
I think the Saints feel that someone will emerge as a decent compliment to Bryant out of Green, Bryant, Leisle, Sullivan, Whitehead, and maybe a 1st day draft pick. I think if we had any inclination of pinning our hopes on him he would have at least been activated towards the end of last year and certainly would have played some. I think the only reason he\'s still on the roster is because its too big of a cap hit to cut him. |

Question for the Pessimists?
Let me ask you a follow up question. Is there any reason to believe that the water will grow without something else being added? Is there reason to think it will decrease? LOL
They need better smarter play out of the middle of the defense. They need existing players to step their game up. They need a scheme that utilizes the skills of their players, puts them in the right position, and teaches them to play their roles more effectively. They need better in-game coaching and adjustments. etc, etc, etc. |
