re: Reuben Foster dismissed from Combine

And I'm not even concerned about the incident....he is an aggressive SOB and you want that at a LB, but I understand he had issues reading plays etc. At alabama...

Stupid people do stupid things, over and over again.

I agree! He is not only a stupid person, he is also a stupid football player!
That's my point!

I agree....
I'm was responding to this....

Well Morris Claiborne scored a 4 on his wonderlic. Patrick Willis scored a 12. Jeff George scored a 10. Frank Gore scored a 6. Terry Bradshaw was a noted moron. Carnell Williams could barely read at auburn. Point is there are good football players that are really really stupid. Foster certainly didn't help himself with the stunt he pulled. Curious to see if it impacts him on draft day. Some teams will pop in the film and be willing to look past it. I mean Tunsil went 13th and this happened This post was edited on 3/5 at 2:09 pm

You can have a low IQ and have football smarts and excellent in the NFL and even become a HOF player....
If you do not have football smarts you will not excell in the NFL and you will be a detriment to your team...
You will prevent your team from winning games and championships....
I do not want a player that is stupid in football on my team.

Obviously not an option for us at #11. Should we have a problem taking him if he somehow falls to our 2nd round pick?

I wouldn't want us to draft him at any spot, not even as undrafted signee.

he is a primadonna over indulged head case already, if he has ANY success at all as a pro he will turn a locker room inside out with the infighting and out of control ego he has.

unless he somehow gets struck by lightning and has a come to Jesus awakening and turns humble and contright overnight, he is nothing but a team destroyer for whoever picks him

I don't believe the Anthony is dumb rhetoric. I think that was an easy excuse for Allen.

The truth is the first year Ryan allowed Anthony to play the ball which is what Foster did at Bama. Get to the Qb or get to the RB. There were no advance reads. He was an animal that could react to motion and hunt down the ball carrier.

Now if you are taking him for that role in the NFL then by all means take him.

Anthony was taught nothing Year One and then in Year two was changed to a different position and was way behind veterans that had played for years. He struggled to pick up the WLB and you cannot learn on the job.

If you draft Foster with the Same idea of playing him at MLB but giving him reads and responsibility on plays--It will not work. If you take Foster and plan to more him out to WLB---It will not work.

Not for the Saints. Some team like the Seahawks, Texans or Pats that other pieces around him can allow him to be on the field 20-25 plays and make plays, because the others around him can rotate and cover situations. Like when you blitz a corner or safety you are not just letting a guy run free in the secondary the defense rotates to take away the quick option. Saints do not have enough of those elite pieces to compensate.

Damn dude. That's pretty radical. You can easily cut someone when drafted in the mid-late rounds.

I'm not saying you're going to be right or wrong...just commenting on how extreme your statement is.

Did you see the pic of RF in class at U of Alabama sleeping on his desk. That shows the intitlement.

Tyrann Mathieu could be another example. Laremy Tunsil. Jeremy Hill. There's a long list of successful NFL players that have done stupid shite, more so than arguing and threatening a male nurse. The faux outrage is almost comical. Oh he was mean to a nurse, obviously can't help us
