Yeah the rookie QB who went 2-8 as a starter with 7 TD passes, 10 interceptions, and 12 fumbles is the guy everyone is still complaining about us not drafting. Like I totally get not calling him a bust or anything and I'm expecting a much better sophomore year, but anyone who watched that rookie season and thinks *at this point* "CAN'T BELIEVE WE PASSED THAT UP" is honestly bizarre.

Lol what? The reality and facts are that the Saints traded for an extra mid first round pick this year. Everything else is weird premature speculation on your part.

If the bar is that the player left us to eventually become a “superstar”, then that’s a very short list…maybe just Evan Mathis, although “superstar” is arguable for him. Butker I guess is a recent example, although I still think people somewhat overhype him on here. He’s probably a fringe Top 5 kicker though which is way more than enough to wish we had kept him. Then you’ve got players like Heinicke who seem to have been more talented than we originally thought and were definitely worth holding onto in hindsight. Even just as a backup QB, he would probably be Top 5 and cheap.

Ironically....Fields, Lawrence, and Wilson are arguably the three QBs who were as bad or worse than Darnold last year. Maybe we should wait for these rookies to actually do something before we get too triggered about missing out on them.

I get that the Huddle has some real Panthers Derangement Syndrome, but I can't believe people are propping this up as a good move by the Saints. This trade makes zero sense and it's dumb for a team as cap-strapped as the Saints to so willy-nilly jump the gun in forfeiting draft capital.

But I'm talking about the people who have already stated that they want to roll with Darnold as their preferred move and avoid reaching for one of these QBs. Those are the same people posting dumb GIFs begging for pie and being the most vocal about how stupid this organization is for doing what they've already said they want to do.

I am so confused.......the same posters who have said multiple times in countless threads that their preferred strategy is to draft an LT and just roll with Darnold for another season, are the same ones losing their minds about that exact prospect coming to fruition?

PFF is great if it reaffirms your preconceived notions about a player. PFF is trash if it contradicts your preconceived notions about a player. Everyone lovedddd posting Donte Jackson’s PFF scores in his extension thread to talk about how terrible of a move that was.

I mean…a little strange to prop up the Colts/Irsay considering the Wentz trade was even more of a colossal bust than Darnold when you factor in what they traded away. That trade actually made me grateful we only gave up a 2nd and 4th instead of the 1st and 3rd for Wentz, who couldn’t even beat Jacksonville to take them into the playoffs…and then gets shipped off again after one year. Irsay is so very brave to mildly criticize Wentz after trading him away. You’re allowed to whine about the team without feeling the need to prop up a steaming pile of garbage in comparison.

I thought your point had something to do with good coaches not overusing/overworking their key players, subjecting them to excessive wear and tear/punishment, etc. The fact that he used Cam as a battering ram makes me think he wouldn’t be exempt from running a player like CMC into the ground.

I mean, we talking about the same Belichick who gave Cam the most rushes of his career (on a per-game basis) at age 31?

The Dolphins had Jakeem Grant who always reminded me of a very poor man’s Tyreek Hill. Very small, fast, twitchy receiver.

I thought this was gonna be about Joe Brady's goal line offense.

It's way too premature to throw around the b word with regards to guys like Lawrence and Wilson, but for such highly touted prospects, you can't argue that their rookie seasons were not disappointing/discouraging.

“No OnE wAnTs To SiGn HeRe!!!!”

By “rumors”, Zod means what he read by Huddlers in a different thread.

I’m sure Deshaun Watson would be tripping over himself rushing to play for Jerry Richardson, the guy who reportedly directed a racial slur at one of his African-American scouts.

The funny thing is I’m not sure by “accused sexual predator” you’re talking about Deshaun Watson or Jerry Richardson. There has been a lot of simping for both of them lately.

Panthers = 0 Super Bowl wins in the last 10 years. Saints = 0 Super Bowl wins in the last 10 years. Pretty easy.

What kind of standard is that for an o-lineman? Can you point to an example of any LT in the history of football "winning a game" for his team? I guess you would argue that Anthony Munoz and Jonathan Ogden were terrible draft picks at 3rd and 4th overall because they never single-handedly won a game for their teams. I don't even want Linderbaum at 6th but that's a silly argument because that would exclude any LT as well.

3rd round comp pick, come on down!!! (Hopefully we don't blow it by overpaying on a lackluster FA signing). Also, guaranteed if the Panthers extended Reddick's contract at anything near this amount, people would be blasting them about how we were bidding against ourselves and no one would have signed him for anything close to this.

Or that Hurney isn't even their GM.

You have to ban him 38 times to fulfill the prophecy.

Teddy is apparently Mr. One-and-done lol.

All we know is that Rhule thought Slater would be a better fit at Guard because of his short arms. So Rhule equates short arms with IOL...he values long arms for tackles. So it's not clear whether or not this will even impact his placement on our draft board.
