I think I've had this conversation with you before, but what was your alternative to signing Drew? Love to hear it.

Im trying to slowly back out of me bringing up the Saints in the Pelicans board, but its hard when im consistently getting asked questions about them.

So in short to answer the remaining questions

-I rather the highest paid Tackle duo rather than guard duo

- We could of saved alot of money keeping Jenkins who IMO always thought was our best defensive player

- And instead of signing drew for a second contract I wanted to do a sign and trade deal with the Colts and get Luck, but I reallly wanted Wilson in the second round

But I cant prove to anyone I wanted Wilson before he blew up...

People need to lay off the guy for the Saints Talk. It's here now. It's not like it's going to run rampant on the board.

Not Brees' fault.

Signed Jarius Byrd in his place for much more money. Not on Brees again...

No way in hell the Colts would trade Luck for Brees...ever

Wilson is a game manager. No way to tell if he could air it out in CSP's offense. It's not as if Seattle is some offensive powerhouse.

My opinion: It honestly feels like you are somewhat unfairly blaming Brees for not being able to literally carry last year's team to a playoff birth. If you stepped back and re-evaluated your complaints and how they relate to Brees, I think your opinion may differ.

There is no such thing as a sign and trade in the NFL.

we are missing 3 of our best players, 




All this started when I read this. I get angry that we consider Anderson one of our top 3 players. Then to make it worse I brought up Drew, who IMO I compare to with Anderson when it comes to fans being biased for them because they win over the fans with their charm.

I cant hate Drew for what he did because I respect his strategy after he won the super bowl. That strategy was, he charmed the f*ck out of the city and when he asked for more money he somewhat forced Mickey to do it. If Mickey didnt sign him IMO the entire city would ask for Mickey's head

My problem is I have a "Moneyball" type approach when it comes to players and I am a Diego when it comes to spending cash that doesn't work for us in the long term

But with that said, other than me saying his initial contract was bad, Ive yet to be proved that my opinions are wrong.

However, the thing is my opinions arent something you can prove with stats. In 3-5 years lets see how the Saints and Pelicans pan out if they keep Drew and Anderson

If we sign him back in two years then he will hurt us long term. I hope we trade him before that

Most people look at Ryno as one of the Pels top 6 players. When he's on, he may well be top 3. When he's off he hurts the team more than most other players on the roster.

hindsight is always 20/20, thus everything you have said and are saying is invalid and idiotic.

Again, I am still waiting for someone to actually explain to me why my opinions are all wrong and invalid. All I get is comments telling me I am stupid and the best one so far is the death threat by running me over

Its very easy to call someone stupid, but to explain and give a reason why is where ( Majority ) of yall lack.
