I'm not arguing about Robert Meachem. I'm right, I was right in 2006, and everyone knows it. Surely you aren't trying to make an argument that a couple of big games was worth a first round pick.

quote:
Colston wanted to take a discount. He really didn't want to test the market

Well so many other teams were beating his door down weren't they? Come on, we all knew Nicks was the next most important to resign after Brees. Hell, we could have franchised him. Colston wasn't going anywhere, and even if he did, big whoop. Brees makes mediocre WRs look awesome. I've being saying for years now we don't have any real scary WRs that make defensive coordinators worry.

I don't think Loomis is all that horrible. I think our defensive draft picks have been shameful, but we can't not give him credit for our offensive talent that has over acheived plus some very good FA pick ups.

I'm on the fence about firing him, but I surely wouldn't have resigned for 5 more years. If I were Benson, Loomis would be on double secret probation right now.

If we don't win that game, do we get the #1 seed that year? I'll make that draft pick every time.

No one got the chance to talk to him. I don't think he was gonna be a hot commodity, but I'm sure he could have gotten a better deal elsewhere.

And that's the only way we could have kept him, but that would have required us to sign Brees before FA, but as everyone knows now, Brees was holding out for the big pay day. We still got a viable replacement in Grubbs.

You're really under selling Colston. He's consistently produced year after year. I tell you one thing, teams don't like seeing Colston in the redzone.

Oh dear lord. Is this a typo?
