Was it the same surgery? And every player is different. Aren't to many Drew Brees's around.

I am not a Dr. and don't know what the extent of his injury was or how it may effect his future. I know Jake had Tommy John surgery and he was never the same. Is his injury something that should heal 100% with no long term effects or may it possibly cause future problems? All they need is to roll the dice and come up with a guy who can't throw the ball twenty yards.

If he wanted to reference Rome, he should have worn a toga, a wreath on his head, and walked in with a fiddle. Rome wasn't build in a day, but surely was burned to the ground in one.

Pisses me off that Rhule didn't play the kid and now they have no idea what they got. Two days from the draft and they don't know if he can do the job or not. One pick to decide if they can afford to take a premier LT prospect and not gamble on the QB. Total lack of coaching foresight and planning. Don't understand the logic behind not playing him. Explain it to me because I don't get it.

Like it or not, that will probably be the way this goes. They rebuilt the line. If they draft the best LT available (or trade back for a decent prospect) also dropped a bunch of money on him with the extension. Tepper invested the money and probably wants to get his dollars worth. We will see if this pays off.

The guy is set for life with no monetary worries in the future. He will ride the gravy train as long as possible. He will take a college job after this one and be a happy camper. Nice work if you can get it.

Why would a team trying to find a viable long term QB be looking at a thirty year old coming off throwing shoulder surgery??? Explain to me why this would be a good move for any team in a 'rebuilding scenerio'. This has to be a smoke screen by the Panthers or are they as desperate as this might indicate.

Mayfield is not interested in Carolina. Why would they try and force his hand if he is going to be a problem? Are they stupid enough to do this knowing he could cause turmoil on the team and in the locker room? From what I have read his Brown teammates are not very fond of him as a person. What do you think....would they force the issue?

Rumor on the web verse is that he may be traded to the Giants. I think he is starting the rumor actually. Anyone know anything about this at all, or is it all bullshat?

Old Saints trick.....been doing it 4 years.

Nope. Especially coming off surgery on his throwing shoulder. Don't think so.

Why would anyone want a player who doesn't want to play here? Mayfield has stated this (from what I understand). Just a lot of trouble and hassle for the team.

No problem...fans won't be crying either when he leaves. He can take his money and G.T.F.O now.....c ya

Rhule wouldn't give him enough snaps last season to fiqure out what the guys got. Now they are wondering if he can be the guy or draft a LT two weeks before the draft. One big cluster fug as usual with this coach.

Next change will be to a new state......stay tuned in a few years. Then his metamorphosis will be complete.

If it is GOING to be one of the two, make it be Jimmy G. Trade back in the draft( if they can do it)and get a LT in the first and a QB in the 2nd. Don't want Mayfield

Brand??.....fuggin joke is what it is.

Everybody, everywhere has issues or has in their past. Either emotionally, mentally, or with some sort of crutch like alcohol etc. There is only so many Saints. The guy seems like he faced the demons and moved on. How many people in their twenties can say that or even accept they have issues. He deserves a shot. Plenty of ability and seems to have a fire in the belly. This team could use that.

Only thing that will excite the fan base is winning. Doesn't matter which QB does it. Doesn't have to be flashy....just win.

Fug Rhule....lucky he is still coaching in the NFL at this point. He don't like it....to bad.

If they have to pull the trigger at 6, then go Corral. Everybody will say it is to high a pick for him, but guarantee he won't be around long. Seahawks and a few others want him also. If they need to do this as Breer says, then go corral. The others will be holding a clipboard or riding the pines.

My bad....Ole Miss is the real deal. Getting confused with the other two QB's.

Could the Panthers be throwing BS and really not interested in Willis or Pickett, but actually looking at this guy. Know he is from a smaller program, but looks like he has the arm and the athletic ability to go to the next level. Word that the Saints really want Pickett or Willis and willing to trade picks for either one. They can have them. Would you guys take a shot at him? He may go in the first round, so waiting past that may be a risk. Possibly trade back and snatch him in late first round along with a decent LT in 2nd?

Rumor has it on the interwebs that the Saints want to package picks 16 & 19 before the draft to move up and grab Willis or Pickett. Who knows true or not. Stupid move if true. Seems they are really high on those two.....or just really high.
