A Mecole Hardman type player. Anyone with blazing speed and can catch half decent.



Sanders can't do that. Too old and beat up. He never was a decent WR anyway. We'll get somebody else and Sanders will get beat out in camp.

You're never happy with this board, are you? You hate it when we have dissenting opinions, and claim that all we do is complain, and then when everyone is happy, you have to be sarcastic because you think that people being excited for one move makes them hypocritical for disliking other moves.

For the record, I thought the Peat re-signing was dumb. The Sanders signing, I think is great. And I don't care how much more the Saints know about their players than I do. "Knowing" things does not guarantee a good decision. Sometimes teams ignore obvious regression, for the hope that they can somehow help the player "rediscover" their prior form. Happens all the time.

And forums are not meant for universal butt kissing. I wish some people would understand that.

7/157/1

That was against us last year. Far from beat up. Who's going to pass him ? Trequan?

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I think your sarcasm meter is down.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

BTW.....some of you should look at Sanders numbers. we still need to address WR in the draft.....and early. Trading back makes sense.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I can't agree with any of this, man. Sanders has been MORE than decent throughout his career, and at times has been a star, when he's had a reliable QB to throw to him.

And did you see how his production immediately went up when he went to the 67ers, despite having to learn a new offense? Jimmy Garoppolo is about as average as it gets, but even he looked like a hall of famer, compared to the QB's in Denver. His numbers dipped at the very end of the year, when Garoppolo started tanking. He'll have a competent QB here.

The last point, is I don't think getting a speed guy matters as long as Brees is still the QB. He's proven he can't throw the deep ball anymore, other than the occasional 35 yard heave that flutters it's way out there. It is strategically essential to have great route runners who can get open in the intermediate areas and make tough catches when needed, with Brees at the helm. Sanders qualifies, and we already know Thomas does.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

I think your reading comprehension glitched.

I know he was being sarcastic. I didn't say anything to suggest that he ACTUALLY didn't like the signing. He took a sarcastic shot at people who "dared" to question the front office earlier.

I'm not sure how you managed to miss the entire context of what I said.

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Damn another man that doesn't drop the ball. Brees just throws to him and Mt and he's completion gonna be over 90%

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Finally!

Re: Emmanuel Sanders
 

Good move...we've been waiting for this for awhile. Finally a number 2.

Now hoping our interior oline play holds up.
