this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Do you agree with cutting Sullivan outright? Again, I agree 100% with Scotty. Sullivan DESERVES to be cut, but he should NOT be cut b/c of the affect on the team financially. If Sullivan was getting paid what McPherson will ...

If Sullivan was getting paid what McPherson will this year, then I see no reason in him being given another shot. However he\'s not. He\'s getting paid a lot more. If he could be cut, given his current salary, with zero affect on the team, I would cut him in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, neither scenario is reality. Do you think McPherson deserves a 10 million dollar signing bonus? Afterall, he does deserve the kind of shake Sullivan is getting right? |

2. do blame for actions that are their own...sully being lazy-he should be stiffly penalized...williams-he should be punished for his actions. otherwise the logic of the arguement that is being made makes little sense. |

Okay, guys, I have a better understanding of how everyone feels about Sullivan.
I just used the McPhearson/Sullivan comparison as a basis of disucssion. I don\'t have anything against McPhearson being given another chance to get his football career on track. Or his life as far as that\'s concerned. I\'ve heard many fans say Sully should\'t be given another chance. But I can\'t see ANY reason why Sully shouldn\'t be given another chance. Sure, Sullivan is making a lot of money, but just because the guy is making a lot of money doesn\'t mean he doesn\'t deserve ONE more chance. Hey, he\'s making a lot of money and he made a mistake. Why don\'t we burn him at the stake? That seems to be the attitude of many. It\'s hurting the team very badly to have ALL that money invested in Jonathan Sullivan and the guy hasn\'t even been commited. I understand that. However, I don\'t hate Sullivan. I\'m not ready to throw him to the wolves. I\'m ready to wipe the slate clean and give him one FINAL chance. If he goes on to play up to his 1st round potential, I\'ll be satisfied. If he goes on to be a bust ... well ... Haslett and co. made a huge mistake. They won\'t be the first team it happened to. Hindsight is 20/20. At the time we desperately needed a stud DT. They rolled the dice by giving up 2 first round draft picks to get the guy they wanted. We\'ll see .... [Edited on 28/4/2005 by GumboBC] |

But I think this thread has gotten off-track -- I remember answering why I was willing to cut McPherson slack but was upset at Sully. I answered that one a long way back -- Mcpherson is costing us a 5th rounder salary and probably no signing bonus -- he is coming in with something to prove namely he is a NFL caliber QB -- he demonstrated he has talent with a year in the arena league earning rookie of the year honors -- and as for asking for another chance he has walked the talk of cleaning up his act. Just this alone makes me give him more slack and I haven\'t even gotten to the negative things about Sully. |

We\'ll embrace McPherson because he might be a cheap way to help the team. Who cares what he did before, if he\'s changed we benefit and if not we only lose a second day pick. With Sully, that fat A@@ cost the team two players in the first round. A lot is invested in him, so if he continues to tank then a year in the draft and half od Ricky was wasted. He cares about illegealities, I care about how much is invested... |

Everything I\'ve been discussing had only to do with whether or not Sullivan should get ONE more chance. I DID make the statement that I\'d be satisfied if Sully played up to his \"first-round\" potential. And I stand by that statement. Just becuase I\'m willing to give Sully a chance, I will NOT be satisfied unless he shows he can play up to his first round selection. The only way I\'d be satisfied if Sullivan played \"decent\" is if he took a pay cut. He\'s making too much money just to be a \"decent\" player. IMHO. [Edited on 28/4/2005 by GumboBC] |
