We still got Unger. They ended up with a TE that caught one pass for one yard the other day. Let that sink in for a minute. Without injuries, we have a top 5 offensive line.

It was a great trade. Jimmy Graham is soft as frick and severely overrated. Now he is rotting in an offense that will pass for 150 ypg this year

He's in the wrong system. He's was great in Payton's offense

Should have traded SA to Seattle for Jimmy.

Anyone who can run a half decent route and catch the ball is great in a Payton/Brees offense.

I know we love to fap over guys like Snead - the truth is Snead isn't really that talented. He's short and slow. He is good in our offense because he is: A) Cheap, B) Has good hands and C) Runs decent routes

Offensive Line is a different story. I don't trust them to squeeze a lot out of a talentless OL like I do pass catchers.

We'd be damn good right now if our WR corp was

Thomas
Stills
Snead
Ginn
Coleman

brees may have went into retirement without another center.

although being able to sign mack outright would have negated that.

Graham doesn't help Seattle at all. Unger helps the Saints tremendously.

Saints won the trade in the end.

We traded him for a top 5 C and to a team that couldn't use him how he could flourish it was a perfect trade

I love how people always bring up injuries, like we're the only team that has injuries. Newsflash,,,,it's football. No team will ever be at full strength with their starters.

Well both of our starting tackles are out with injury, so my statement is valid.

Maybe if Jimmy sucks bad enough they will give him back and we will be a threat again offensively. Brees>Wilson that is the difference with Graham
