You've already been excused due to an acute lack of anything resembling a coherent thought on this subject.

Throw back another drink & push away from the keyboard, douche. The big kids are talking, now.

You don't know shite.

The Saints had DeShawn effing Wynn in there with Julius Jones at the end of it this year.

Year before? They had two decent tailbacks for 1st & 2nd down, and won a SuperBowl.

Teams have to have MULTIPLE tailbacks and they don't last as long. You have to CONSTANTLY prospect for 'em.

The tailback situation was the key to the Saints getting blitzed 49 times in Atlanta. We simply couldn't run the ball. We won, but Brees got his arse lit up continually.

Without tailbacks, you see Brees' eyes go into Silver Dollar mode all night.

Get a clue. Oh, I know, you're some popular poster here. WGAF. Weak take, brochacho.

You do realize of course that your entire post doesn't really counter the fact that you can get good RBs later in the draft right?

I think Mark will do well but he is an unproven commodity in the NFL. He might not be any better than Wynn for all you know.

Your entire thought process is basically that our discussion is pointless, because prsopecting for talent in the early rounds is for the most part complete random chance, based on previous examples of late-round value like a Colston, Brady, etc?

Your theory-should we follow it to its logical end-is that we should probably trade every single 1st & 2nd round pick we're ever awarded, and just beat up the 3rd-7th to find our players?

It's an interesting take. I don't agree with it.

value is more than dollars and cents (don't get me wrong, they're a big part of it)

So now we're into your Sister Timah routine? This value is now more intangible, and in this case, specifically, its esoteric, with you being the best and most finely attuned to this nebulous value that's not about dollars & cents?

Find my money line on my palm next, bitch. I don't give a shite about my love line or my life line. It's ALL about dollars & cents for me.

He was fricking talking about the rushing yards we had at the half of the Super Bowl, douchefag.

1) that was me talking and replying to you.
2) That was total rushing yards, not at half. 51 the entire fricking game against the colts.
3) your "argument" was that we were behind in the superbowl. 10-6 at halftime with the colts leading. This means the saints are down by 4. Guess how many points the Saints were down by against Seattle? Down 24-20 at halftime: 4 points.


So: Down 4 points at half in both games. Similar rush totals in both games (51 in Superbowl/77 against Seattle). We won the game against the good team, but lost to the 7-9 team. Guess what was different? Oh, that's right. Our Defense played well in 2009.


Saints-Colts

Saints-Seahawks

Hell, the saints even had a better ypc against the seahawks than they did against the Colts.

Better luck next time "douchefag"

I don't care WTF you say is in the room & possessing your spirit right now, I ain't doing the whole Ghost routine with you.

At the end of the day, everybody forgets that Patrick Swayze was banging Whoppi Goldberg in Ghost. NOT Demi Moore.

Dude, you know not of what you speak. I'm like the cat that's toying around with the mouse that's already dead. You aren't even moving around anymore. No sign of life. I'm about to go bring you to the backdoor and cop a squat in some kitty litter.

Stop. Typing. Dammit.

no, it means he's not an elite RB talent, the RB crop was weak, and RBs aren't worth that much
