re: Outside of QB, who has the better roster: Saints or 49ers?

I know because you are doing plenty to hurt your own argument, I don't need to help it

Eh "cuz" never had more than 343 rushings yards before last year never had more than 520 receiving yards before last year. 59 catches was previous high so where did he do it before?

---

you mean they relied on one of the best backs in NFL history to take the bulk of the carries?

Last year was obviously his best since he broke the All-Time NFL record for yards.

He's been an explosive open-field playmaker since his 3rd season in the NFL. One of the best 3rd down/explosive backs in the league. I don't think many people who actually watch football would argue that. Its why we let Reggie walk

I'd say if Alex Smith threw for like 4500 yards and 40 tds your argument concerning him and sproles would be relevant. Sproles obviously will have to continue to produce to be continue to be considered good, but he did a hell of a job last season.

Then red zone efficiency would be bigger than yards IMO

they were terrible at putting the ball in the endzone. 11 in pts/game while making 11 more field goals then the next closest team

I never saw one niner fan on here until last year. And most saints fans I personally know have been for years. Seems to me most of you were niners fans when they were good with young and Montana, you went into hiding after that, and you magically show up when they are good again. The fact that most of you are lsu fans just makes me laugh. I guess lsu was good enough for y'all but since the saints weren't doing too hot you all figured you'd be front runners with the niners.

Been a Niners fan since 2004 (I'm from London originally, no geographical ties). I watched fricking Rattay, Dorsey (he was ok actually), Pickett, Smith throw like 10 picks and one TD, David fricking Carr?

I've also been posting on NFL message boards about that long. Awful lot of lifelong, diehard, dyed in the wool, Saints fans just popping up all of a sudden.

TD/INT ratio
Completion percentage

Smith wasn't very good at 2 of these

Well, the same guys seem to continue to pop up whether you are using yards, completion pct, etc. Kinda hard to throw for 4000 yards if your completion percentage is shitty or your td/int ratio is bad because you'll probably end up getting pulled.

You really do suck at reading comprehension good god the second graders I teach read better. I said he had a good season not that he is a good player.....

Which is exactly what I said he was close to being "good" can't you read at all? Damn Louisiana education system

Except he doesn't, he was mediocre until last season when he advanced to good

hmmm

Oh I agree. I never said the saints didn't have some bandwagon fans. Trust me I know they do. And if you have been a fan since 04 that post really wasn't directed towards you.

Cam threw 4k with 21 TD and 17 INT and 60%

imagine what he'll do at 28 when he starts to reach his peak

Big Ben threw 4k with 21 TD's and 14 INT at 63%

played hurt most of the year and missed a game
-San Fran actually benefited from his injury
