Ask Bill Belichic if feel good stories influence his decisions. My guess is he could care less.......I don't think he has any feelings.

At the end of the day it should always be about production and availability. Which is why it made/ makes so many ponder why Mark Brunell was kept for so long or Chase was added last year. Then you look at Rankins and you recognize he is still so young so he might turn it aorund, but he certainly isn't being kept for production. Finally, you look at the availability of someone like the Sudafed Head and it boggles the mind

Turn it around? I must be missing something here.

Of the six defensive players selected ahead of Rankins, only Bosa and Ramsey were more productive in 2017. Not to mention 2017 was Sheldon's first full season of NFL football.

Why do you feel it is your duty to share lies like that? People come to this forum to learn things and that is just plain false. I know you think you're being funny and/or clever, but all you are doing is falsely smearing the reputation of one of the most outstanding characters on the roster. Two fellow Saints players (Bushrod and Strief) have both implied publicly in interviews that Ingram was the victim of taking a normally safe supplement that had been contaminated by trace elements of a banned substance. It had nothing to do with Sudafed according to ANY source beyond a member here on Black & Gold that mentioned Sudafed being one of the several items on the "banned list" that could receive a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) from the league.

Either you are too lazy to read enough to know you are in error or you think that your weak attempts at humor justify spreading lies.

That's a really long post. No, you brought up Sudafed. Until you I had never heard the Sudafed excuse. But since then I've run with it
