The saints have ran 321 plays tied or in the lead.

They’ve ran 352 plays while trailing.

He has just not been much of a factor outside of catching garbage time passes. Though he was good yesterday.

This is an embarrassingly bad take.

Well, he's scored in 4 games, and we won 3 of them: Atlanta, Seattle (left game after td), and rams

Forget the olave portion of your last post, the number of snaps winning/tied in relation to losing is kinda encouraging. Perhaps this thing isn't so bad after all when you consider all the injuries

You are the second person to say that., neither of you could refute it tho


And look I like Olave. Would like him even more if he was a natural 2nd round pick. But I like him


The yardage qualifiers and shite is an attempt to put lipstick on a pig. That trade www absolutely horrible & now detrimental to the future of this franchise.

Tyreek Hill’s perfect game flow to rack up meaningless yards

i think some of your points and sentiments on olave are solid but he has essentially played as our No.1 WR with not much help around him most of the year. We just got Jarvis back. I wouldn't call it garbage yards when he's the focal WR 1 on the team without MT. I do have concerns about his physical stature and ability to take and withstand hits.

Olave is good. Perhaps we overpaid, but he's still good. His stats back that up, and so does his pff rating of 83.2.

Complements MT VERY well


How would you even know that? MT either doesn't want to play or can't stay healthy.

Olave should be MT's replacement.

They are 7-3 so obviously they aren’t meaningless since they come back & win

It's easily refutable with common sense. The Saints average scoring margin this season is -1.6. You act as if the Saints have been in a ton of blowouts this season, which that stat shows isn't the case. Not to mention all three of Olave's TD's came this season when the game was within a score.

He’s a good player but will still need another good WR to play off of. He is the Saints WR1 but he isn’t a WR1.

I mean we have been chirping that about MT even back when he put up those insane stats in 2019. Hell, this comment has been made since Payton became HC. No matter how good/elite your WR1 is, you still need another top WR for them to play off of. Not really groundbreaking news.

As many "meaningless yards" as he's put up, those stats are meaningless without context. Saints kickoff to start the game, other team goes down and scores on first possession, every play on Saints 1st possession would occur while the team is trailing.

Edit: And since it's easier to just track TDs, I looked at his 3 TDs. 1 with the lead (yesterday) and 2 while trailing. Caught a TD while down 7-0 in the 2nd quarter against the Vikings, and a TD in the 3rd quarter while down 19-17 against Seattle. Stats need context

Looks to me like one of those stats that is misleading at best. Miami has come back to win in several games, so those are actually VERY meaningful yards.

Never said blowouts, but they have thrown the ball a ton trailing in games attempting to come back. Just because you don’t like the star does not mean it’s wrong.

It's almost as if teams throw the ball more downfield when they are losing. Weird.

Yes, Miami

A target & reception when trailing is a target and reception when trailing. Don’t use the stat if ya gotta keep quantifying it with team successes to fit the argument

You have used words such as "meaningless" and "garbage time." Definitely not implying close games. And the opposite of close games is??

The panther game for instance, the final score was 22-14.

That game was never really close, and it wasn’t exactly a “blowout” either by definition


The cardinals game, same thing

Tampa bay, Ravens, Steelers.

All played out like that.
