We HAVE to give CGM a new deal and keep him happy. I am also in the resign MI camp. He is horribly underrated, particularly by a swath of our fan base imo. I'm just not convinced we keep Bridgewater. I want to, but I'd trade him for a CB to place opposite Lattimore without blinking.

Agree, mostly. It's hard to say if CGM's slow progress was in his knee or his head. One's fixable, the other isn't. Regarding Bridgewater, you have to consider the level of play of many QB's coming out of college these days. Gone are the days where they have to play apprentice for several years before starting. Some of these kids are stepping in and putting up big numbers, year one.

The problem the Saint's face is that so long as they keep winning, they really won't get a chance to draft a young gun. The good ones are all gone by pick # 32....if we even had a 1st round pick.

Right on, but Drew isn't done after this year. He's been asked if he'd step away, even if he won the Super Bowl this year and he said no. I don't know if he's motivated to get the TD record or if he's just not done. Either way it's a luxury to have Teddy on the team but it may be one we can't afford.
