My pop, (God bless) is closer to 90 than 80 and, as far as the Saints goes, always looks at the the things they didn’t do right as opposed to the things they do. He mourns more about the titles lost than the one title won. Ask Atlanta how that feels.

Sorry to be philosophical everyone. I’m slightly drunk right now. I put more wine into myself than I did the Chicken Marsala I was making.

The kid can really chuck the ball no doubt, been drowning on a bad team for years. At 32 are his best years behind him is the question.
Can the Saints afford all the Psychotherapy it will take to get the Lion out of his head. In my opinion he would be like a kid in a candy store throwing to our receivers.
But he's not coming if Drew is still here, he can instantly help a team hopefully anyone but Atlanta.

Stafford seems like a good guy that deserves to win more, but I'm not sure this is the place for him.

He’d win his first Super Bowl here.

Atlanta is stuck with Ryan for the next two seasons. That last contract they gave him made sure of that. He has a $76M dead money hit this season, $50M for 2021, or $26.5M in 2022. The soonest they can cut or trade him is 2023 and that will still result in dead money of $8.6M!

Yeah, we've got a few folks on here that see the glass half empty. That's fine because we are all Saints fans. In life, people tend to interpret information differently and they express themselves differently. We're fortunate that most of our members are well informed and upbeat. Nonetheless, we keep it cordial and exchange philosophies and valuable football information.

When you look at a half a beer do you start thinking about your next one already? Or do you enjoy the rest of your beer? Personally, I look forward to finishing a beer....unless it's warm.

How does it get warm?

I’m usually thinking about my next beer long before I’m halfway done with my current beer. Like in chess, I’m two beers ahead. Except I’m better at drinking beer than playing chess.

I could see Stafford coming as a backup to Drew or Taysom
