But what we got in return was nothing short of outstanding.



what we lost was irreplaceable. the best offensive weapon in the teams history. Considering what we are left with, i dont really agree with you.


not saying i dislike Unger or the pick we made, but those type of players are easier to find.

I can't totally disagree with you.

But protecting your QB and having a good MLB are amongst the biggest needs for any NFL team.

Don't think this is correct.

The best weapon in the teams history is still taking snaps behind center. I get your point, but let's play a few more games and let the players try to get their timing together before considering this season a failure.

Jimmy Graham was making the Saints offense become too one dimensional. Plus, as pointed out, his WR/TE attitude wore thin in the locker room.

This Saints' team has much more upside potential with so many younger players versus trying to wring the last drop of competitive blood out of aging veterans.

Besides injuries last year, Sean Payton didn't see enough fire on both sides of the ball, especially the defense.

Younger players on defense are more aggressive and hungry for a playoff run many have never experienced. When a team gets the right mix of old and new along with good chemistry, then they have a real chance to go places.

Of course, the best example of this is the New England Patriots.

This year's team will be even better next year, but they will fun to watch this year as well.
