No joke- he’s all over the place. Even by his standards

More than ever you need to get them in FA to contribute fast. Projects are taking longer with the low contact rules for practice. Would’ve been great to know this a month ago... but if it’s a health issue so be it. If it’s health and money it’s a bit sketchier

This didn’t need another thread Agreed

Seriously though- is he back on drugs? I know that that sounds like a joke but he’s had issues and the last couple of weeks are incredibly erratic

Has til Sunday? Or what?

He wasn’t the guy there

He’s been coming across pretty scattered— hopefully not having some of his old issues pop back up

We almost certainly overpaid- which isn’t a big deal as long as he steps up. for those citing familiarity- that’s not ALWAYS a pro. If they like the guy they may be too quick to excuse issues and err on trusting the best season. It can break all kinds of ways. You can overpay and still be a good move though. Don’t take every opinion out there quite so personally and your day will be much nicer

You would think as a packer he would be better about the contents of his luggage jokes aside- dumb comment but silly that quote catches someone charges

You said 30 hits and 78 misses 30/108= 27.7%

Nor is judging someone’s classiness in this moment, if she’s being genuine

Yup. I’m not making any major assumptions or anything... just seems there’s something there. Even if that’s how she feels it doesn’t mean he’s been been a monster. Could be they just drastically grew apart through the years too. Regardless - all the best to their family. Even if this is totally fiction, they’ve had a rough run.

Today their daughter tweeted “sometimes you can’t fix what’s been broken” which mom retweeted Today she also retweeted a quote about the art of nonfiction being staying true to the facts while presenting them in an interesting way. Both seem to imply there’s some truth here.

If this is her truth and not just creative writing.... there’s a good chance the outpouring for her husband was really hard on her and she feels the need for some public validation of her reality. Again, if she’s speaking her truth here it has got to be tough to feel abused and see that person lauded by millions of people.

Does it bother you that his percentage dips below Russ Brandon once you correct your math?

This right here.

Thats really the takeaway for you?

Meh... it’s better than the trade ones. Clearly there’s no way his title is factual, and is just opinion

Sure. At the end of day two we need a qb, a starting WR with speed, and a front 7 defender. this gets one of those with the lowest day two pick.

At some point this class is going to hit a wall and guys will fall. Something like 6 QBs in the top half of the first round after one of the best free agent classes in a long time seems crazy. Especially if some GMs see a few of the guys as interchangeable.

Im optimistic that if we go get our guy instead of taking what’s left we will have a little more talent and a better fit. That fit factor alone might be worth the premium even if we as fans don’t see the prospects wildly different. hope you’re having a nice Sunday, 3rd!

Thats about normal - and you shouldnt know. It’s scheme, and coach and opponents and some luck and health. the top guys any year are a coin flip or so and that’s why they go high. the next tier is a coin flip to be a good backup and long shot to start andvthey land day two ish

Leaf is a tough one to use as a comparison for any top pick. Maybe an outside chance at baker. johnny football was the last before and I can’t think of before that. Rarely do troubled guys shoot up the board. as for head vs arm — you have to check all the boxes as serviceable and then have a few real standout qualities. Vic obviously didn’t foresee that leaf was going to be a methed out felon in this debate. He simply saw a normal dude with a huge arm vs a Chad Pennington. Not crazy going back (though it seems things like leaf missing workouts with teams and such would mean he didn’t check the box for head)

Be honest- their fb and twitter each have less than 30 likes/followers. By found do you mean you created this? If so, no shame in some self promo.

I always like to steal opinions from visiting fans — and as a saints season ticket holder myself I’ll cue you up with some good saints related questions: 1) cadet and ivory in our backfield... I think we all get what ivory is - hard runner, not a star but super physical. Cadet seems a mystery to more here. Share any thoughts? 2) free agency.... think Snead gets the tender pulled? Bills are in dire need of a WR. Could be a cheap but effective option. Delvin Breaux at cb? How’d he go from the hottest up and comer around to still unsigned? 3) as a division rival what do you think of how McD and Beane did in Carolina and now in buff?
