What's the name of that bar or group? Thanks.

I'm not going to defend BTRDD, he's a grown man (I assume), but I understand what he's trying to say. The common theme of all those throws (except the Giants one to Morgan) is that they were all indoors. Drew is a good QB, the system makes him a great one. That's not debatable. However, his weak arm is absolutely an issue in wet and windy conditions. His arm isn't strong enough to drive the ball in weather. Our coach knows this though and hopefully we get homefield and don't have to worry about it this year. Indoors his deep passing is fine, its not on a Aaron Rodgers clothsline, but its effective. Outdoors there are big issues.

I'm hoping the 3 year WR light bulb comes on for Toon this season. He's slightly behind schedule because he didn't have Payton his first year either. Meachem getting cut would be a good sign for the staff's faith in the young-ins. He'll be my marker on the subject.

Assuming 5, I'll predict: Colston, Stills, Cooks (guaranteed) with Toon and one of the UDFAs.

I think they're looking to keep 3 big bodied WRs to go along with Cooks and Stills. Just my opinion.

I don't know who should be the backup, but the Saints have to pick one. Its idiotic to have three QBs on the active roster. Figure it out boys!

My guess is the Saints will let Griffin and McCown battle it out in preseason.

What's interesting though is that three years ago, I couldn't care less about the backup bc if Drew went down, we were fricked anyway. Now, I think the defense can keep us in some of those games as long as 9 isn't season ending. So a backup is now a valid question again.

If true about Finley, that's interesting, because they are essentially the same type player. Neither block well, they create mismatches, excellent athletes for their size, etc... What's his contract? Because that should be the market for Graham. Graham is a good player but he wouldn't put up those numbers unless he's in the Saints or New England offense. In Denver or Green Bay, for instance, he would put up GOOD numbers, ala Julius Thomas or Finley, but not great numbers. He's one of the few true offensive threats the Saints have so he piles up opportunities and numbers. Then of course in offenses without QBs, he's just another guy running around.

And the Dildo comment is right. The dude looks and acts like a TE. He's only really an option when he has the mismatch with a LB or S. When he's covered by a corner, even an avg corner, he's never open. He's not a WR.

So, if his agent wants to debate semantics and bullshite, I get it. He needs to get paid, but if he's going to sit out, frick em. Saints will roll with Josh Hill and Watson and prob some other freak they find under a rock and Graham and his agent can watch as his best earning years are pissed away. "On this hand you have $8 MM, on this hand, you have dick. Now, choose Jimmy." Oh, and by the way, Gronk, when healthy, is an integral part of that offense and a great blocking TE, Jimmy clearly is not, per our playoff games. If the team offers him Gronk money and he wants more, frick em.

I have no idea what's the truth, but for a team to hire a defensive coordinator, especially a team that is coached by a defensive coordinator, to not know what kind of defense the man was going to run when he arrived....is just laughable.

Does anyone really give a frick about Cam Newton or what he says? He's irrelevant. He's a slightly above avg QB in the NFL. This isn't college anymore. No one gives a shite about what he did in college. If he wins at this level, he'll become relevant and his antics will be viewed as something positive. Until then, he's nothing and he's viewed as a clown. Those are facts.

If that's the seeding, I'm pulling for a Dallas win and 9er win. I'd rather play Dallas at home again than Carolina for a third time.

I love me some Mike Smith. I love him coaching the Falcons. There's some risk in them stumbling into the next Payton. It'll be hard for them to find a dumber coach....real hard.

In what bizarro world are you talking about? Just because you make a lot of tackles doesn't make you a "great tackler" particularly since you're playing safety. You're supposed to be able to tackle! He's avg, AT BEST, as a tackler. And we know by a long track record that he's atrocious, atrocious in coverage which is by definition what a defensive back should be best at. He was the second worst safety in the league last year per defensive metrics. And, he's not a great "blitzer". Again, its not hard to get a sack when no one blocks you so it would make sense that Vaccarro and Jenkins would be better "blitzers" because they're faster. This shite argument is tired. Harper is tired. And frankly I'm tired of hearing about 41. Please just go fricking away.
