Emmanuel Sanders

blackangold · 05-14-2020, 12:55 PM

I don't understand the hate on Sanders. Sanders is a #1 WR for most teams and we got him cheap. I really like the offensive additions this off season (aside from Peats contract).

Still concerned about the D-line... lot of depth, not a lot of game-changers.

Everson Griffen or Clowney perhaps?

For me, I see good talent on defense and enough to get us where we want to be however I'm more concerned about Dennis Allen and the need to be better at situational play-calling.

Too many late moment blunders on the back end that has cost us from advancing. IDK, maybe having Jenkins helps orchestrate, facilitate things for us in 2020. Essentially having a QB on defense who understands coverages.

Wouldn’t be shocked if Granderson makes a move on Davenport

If that happens, then the Saints failed on the scouting of Davenport.

It's not hate. He's just old. 33.5 when the season starts. He does have good hands but he does get hurt but people only want to look at last season when he got hurt the prior two seasons.

I bet if it was last season and we sign him people say no, he got hurt the prior two seasons....meh.

He's the same age as Larry Fitzgerald was three years ago when Fitz had 107 catches for 1023 yards. He's one year younger than Fitz was when he had 109 catches for 1156 in 2018. You need to get over this meaningless age crap. Fitz is one of those five WR's that has been targeted 500+ times over the last five years and dropped fewer than 20 ... along with Emmanuel Sanders!

He's no Fitz. Not even close. Fitz is first ballot. One of the best to ever play the game.

Forget the "Fitz" comparison for a moment Beast.

Sanders fills a specific need in New Orleans. He's been very effective out of the slot ... something we have lacked going back to the Willie Snead days.

Even at his age, Emmanuel is still a very good player and like B&G stated ... affordable. When you are a contender like the Saints, you sign smart, veteran (M Jenkins, Sanders) players, not guys who will likely pan out 3 or 4 years down the road. WIN NOW.

What's not to like here?

No he isn't, but over that period he has been very good. My example was showing that age isn't always a factor as you ALWAYS seem to portray.

The guy has had several legitimate star seasons. I get that he's not as young as he once was, but he's not coming here to be a #1. He's a complementary piece, and a damn fine one at that. I wanted him last year but it didn't work out. I'm thrilled to have him this year. He will only help our passing game.
