That trade was based on Sean's ego and was the beginning of the end. The fact the we make the trade was troubling . Yeah I know the free agent signings too . That trade felt like it was personal and not for the good of the team.

That was a damn good trade. Unger is a top 5 center. The only problem is that they wasted that 1st round pick in typical fashion.

are you one of those fans who only cares about 'skill positions' and whines when we draft a "boring" position like OT instead of a flashy receiver and can't distinguish between a guard and tackle, etc?

The Graham trade was probably the best personnel move made under this regime, so ... no

Not having Graham makes a difference in close games. You need a "go to guy" and jimmy was it. Good centers are a dime a dozen .

LOL, and Jimmy Graham is a fricking TE. What is your point.

Imagine our OL without Unger. Now imagine our WR corps with Jimmy........

Anyone bitching about that trade is a fricking moron.

He was more like a wr, unless you ask the coach who stabbed Graham in the back .

Brees threw for 5000 yards and we had a 1000 yard rusher. I'm sure our offensive line had nothing to do with it.

Your an idiot! We had the number 1 offense we don't need to Jimmy obviously! We need a damn defense! We made out better in that trade by far! Unger has been a beast at center for us and anchors our line

Exactly my point. He was a MR and we just had 2 WR's go for over 1,000 Yards. Looks like we made a tremendous upgrade at OC and have not missed him in the passing game.

Thanks for illustrating my point.
