re: To all the fans that still question our FO

The last pick I got stupid about was Morstead.

That lesson taught me to STFU because I don't know what the hell our F.O. really sees in a prospect or why they passed up a prospect. Too few here have learned that lesson, namely chRxis. The Saints F.O. has earned the benefit of the doubt from me on every single pick. This ain't the Rosenbloom or Kuharich era where second-guessing was earned & condoned.

Plus, it serves no purpose to bash a new Saint and say he won't be good. It implies you are wishing he turns out bad simply to serve your narcissistic amateur GM status. I pray every Saints pick turns into a HOF'er, so I am going to look first for the qualities/attributes/skills that might flash the possibility, but I'll usually temper that with some weaknesses of the prospect to be more realistic. But to wish the pick fails actually contradicts your Saintly outrage over a perceived "wasted pick". From the sound of it, I'd think you'd be happy.

Also, bashing a Saint & the F.O. for where a player was picked and how much he makes is extremely short-sighted. In the Big Picture, the Saints will generally add 7 players per year via the Draft and/or add multiple FA's to help upgrade a 53-man roster & will divide up $120 million dollars amongst those players to field that final roster. IDGAF where or how these players were acquired by the F.O. or which one gets more than the other as long as we remain in contention for a Super Bowl.
