Being critical is not complaining, to me, bc I don’t have an 19-0 expectation or the opposite 0-19 hope. Nor am I a “homer” to anybody, including DB#9. I want him to succeed bc I want the Saints to succeed. Also, I see every player as a cost benefit analysis in that “how much does this guy cost vs how productive is he” is the question I ask. And none of that is compared to what a player did for our organization more than a decade ago. And it’s that simple. Your personality seems to be very <fingers in ears> “LA LA LA LA LA LA, <screaming> I CANT HEAR YOU” while ppl like me state “oof, that was a bad pass”. Not everybody is like you though, and it’s not unreasonable for ppl to want DB#9 to succeed while simultaneously pointing out his deficiencies as he ages.

My friend, feel free to blindly follow only the positive, you do you, lol. Nothing wrong with fans like you, God bless you for your rampant and blind fanaticism. But, almost everybody here is a Saints fan. We’re just all different ppl, differing personalities, differing expectations and hopes for the Saints. And we express our feelings in varying different ways. I’ve never understood the “we’re all in now” or “one last hurrah” mantra that has been propagated throughout all of Saintsdom. It bothers me tremendously. What happened to the last decade? Why were we not all in for those years? Is DB#9 the only Saint playing that deserves a SB?

Oh, Brees isn’t our only option. There are two other QB’s on the roster. One we know can throw for 5,000 yards right now also, and the other who seems to have been “chosen” as the heir apparent. I’ve ALWAYS believed, still do, that may the player who best runs the entire playbook be named the starter. But, that’s not my call, I’m just a fan..., one who has eyes though and is not blind to the current circumstances.

Is there a limit to being critical or does it require sharing the criticism repeatedly? This is a general question. Not necessarily directed your way. Some repeat certain criticisms at every opportunity ad nauseum. To me personally it grows from a simple statement of opinion into a chorus of fingernails on a chalkboard after a period of time. That's when it turns into complaining to me.

And, no. Brees isn't our only option. Neither is Kamara. But both are the only options that make us the most competitive at their positions. That's what I meant by "best and only".

And which QB is it that can throw for 5000 yards right now in Sean Payton's currently designed offense? We have two that have thrown for 5000 in a year, but only one that has proved he can do it using Payton's scheme.
