You can try to knock it by dividing his career into draft vs free agent years but that’s nonsense. I’m in no way saying the saints have made every decision correct by any means. But seem to be saying they’ve made every one wrong.

Yup. Name me another franchise that has made every decision correct. Hell, the glorious Patriots have had a multitude of dud draft picks. They've lived off of bringing in vets on short term deals to fill a hole here or there. They've also brought some in that they cut in short order.
