re: Panthers fans in NC celebrating getting the call overturned
Posted by BostonAdam on 11/26/19 at 9:54 am to tigersquad89
I live in Charlotte and have many Panthers fan friends. That's not how any of them took this game. They hate the Saints more than any team and wanted nothing more than to ruin our potential #1 seed. No one that I've talked to cared about moral victories. Charlotte is a very weird city due to the large number of transplants, but there's still a pretty large fan base for the Panthers here that really wants to see this team win (my kids included).

re: San Diego Game - 10/2
Posted by BostonAdam on 4/27/16 at 8:00 am to blackandgolddude
I agree on all except the food. There's almost nothing to do except eat in San Diego. Get out of the gaslamp district first off. Great food in South Park and the other close burbs. Also if you do go up to La Jolla they have some amazing food, look for Peruvian and get ready for the best tres leches of your life. About 50 spots claim to have the best fish tacos ever, and its hard to argue with any of them.

D- Could have traded back and easily gotten both our picks we have now plus another second or third rounder.
This. Exactly this.
That isn't how the draft unfolded this year. What prospects were on the board at 13 that any team would have wanted to pay to grab? The offers to trade back were probably for low value, Plus to get a 2nd rounder would have required jumping back to the bottom of the 1st round. To get a 3rd rounder would have needed to drop in the 5-10 spots and definitely would not have gotten Peat.

it's ridiculous to so invest one's happiness in life in whether LSU achieves that goal or not
THIS!!! I used to be that way too, investing so much emotion into my teams. Once you realize that only 1 team will win every year, one team's fan base will end the year happy and everyone else will be upset, you realize it's a fools game to get so emotionally invested.
I'm trying very hard to become even less of a fan, to where I can miss games and not care. I envy fair weather fans. Bash if you must.

re: How would one go about getting a job in Venture Capital?

It's possible and it's good that you're starting early into your MBA. Just realize that there is a crazy amount of competition for only a few roles so you need to prove you're a better hire than the Harvard/MIT kids who have ibanking experience.
It's going to be difficult. I know, I went through the same thing. Just stay diligent.

Honestly: if your top-tier school can't give you networking contacts, then you didn't go to the right school, and you're going to have an extremely difficult time landing in the industry. Also, if you don't have analyst experience typically in i-banking they won't want you. Staffing is very limited, especially for the younger people.
Best advise is to use every avenue you can to network w/ VC firms - informational interviews are a necessity. If you really want it, you should be putting 100% of your time/effort into it. If not you have essentially no chance.

Any news on our rookie Ronald Powell. Will he make the team? Play mostly special teams? Or is he just a guy who looks the part in a uniform but won't play in this league? Powell and Baptise look like studs in a uniform, hopefully they have what it takes.
We're going to have to drop a lot of great talent this year. Hopefully we're able to store some guys away on the practice squad. LB is going to be a tough group to crack b/c of the veterans and everyone brings something specific to the team.

re: Saints agree to 3-year contract with S Marcus Ball

He's probably as good as or better than any safety we'd get in the 3rd round or later. He looks really smooth in coverage and has a knack for the ball and big hits. At the very least I think he will be a solid special teams player. Good for him to work hard and make it to the NFL in an unconventional way.
Completely agree. The highlights show a lot of loose zones so hard to speculate how he'll play defensively, but love the ability and willingness to come up and hit. He'll be a good special teamer to start out at least. Remember Raphael Bush came in as a special teamer and ended the season as our starting safety.

The #19 ranked FB that was moved away from TE doesn't at all take leverage away from the #1 ranked TE.
Why you say that?
I say that b/c to me your logic makes no sense. If I said Drew Brees should take a pay cut b/c we have Ryan Griffin already signed, does that make any sense? That's the same logic. Please explain what I'm missing and how his signing gives us leverage.
Also explain how any player signing can affect "leverage" in a contract negotiation between a team that wants a player and the top player at his position after we've already said he'll be the highest paid TE in the league after this deal.

Probably all as trivial and down putting as this one. You denigrate one comment for not adding to the board with more nonsense.

the team will be better served with young talent and cheap contracts buying us more time for the other 2nd contract players like Jordan, Vacarro, Hicks, and others. purging and stripping the roster to pay 5 or 6 guys is not how you win in this league.
Vacarro won't hit the market for 4 more years, but considering Jordan, he'll need a new contract next year. How much do you think he's going to ask for? Are you going to make the same argument that a top young DE isn't worth $9+ mill if next year matches his last?
I've seen multiple posts in this thread arguing that we can't afford JG b/c we need a top receiver, but the reason JG is so necessary is BECAUSE we don't have a top receiver, and it's unlikely that a late 1st round receiver will step in as the #1 you guys are expecting.
That being said, if someone wants to offer 2 #1's for anyone on the roster outside of Brees, I'd take it, and in 2 years I'd take 2 #1's for him too.

I'd rather a younger WR that was bigger and faster to create more separation. However, he has such a mean streak that the offense could really use.
Yes I would also rather draft a future Hall of Famer and have him produce at a Steve Smith level his first year. Those are some really big expectations though.
re: Official: Saints trade Sproles to Philly
Posted by BostonAdam on 3/13/14 at 8:50 am to mm2316
I think the biggest reason for the lack of production is that defenses began scheming for him b/c he was our biggest asset. We didn't have WRs to open up the field and no running game to speak of so the screen pass was our entire offense in some games. It became very obvious and easily stopped.
Sproles will still be successful but can't be the focus of a team's offensive game plan.
