AP To Saints

[cultclassiccat]

Even if he's lost something doesn't mean when healthy he isn't one of the best short down backs in the league. That price for his potential is a bargain. I was thinking belichek would pick him up.

A lot of you all are being delusional, or are just in outright denial.  We've been successful against AP in yhe past because there was really no threat of a passing game in playing him.  His QBs have been garbage.  Pairing him with Brees is scary...  we can't load the box to stop him, and we can't spread too thin to prevent big passes or he'll gash us.  Just as AP has never had the benefit of a great QB, Brees has never had the benefit of a gamebreaking RB.

The saints were in the running for McCaffrey at 11.  Does this change that assumption?  If so, the chances of us trading down to Clevelands # 12 with McCaffrey still sitting there may have gone up.

Nice of the Saints to extend a branch to Peterson before he leaves the league.

I don't bet against AP

They are trying to mimick the Panthers. NFC South is going 2 back comittee

Panthers - J-Stew / Fournette 

Atlanta-  Freeman / Colemon

Saints - Ingram / AP

Bucs - Martin / McCaffrey

Still a good player but I'm not that worried about it.   LF would scare me 2x as much.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Yeah, this sucks. Maybe he won't be 100% this year?

Any way you spin this, it isn't great news for the Panthers. 

Yes, but it's not really bad news either. Why should we be worried about a player we continuously shut down in his prime, now that he's over the hill? Aints could've used that money on defensive help. Peterson is basically the same as Ingram at this point. Upgrade at their #2 back over Hightower, but hardly a big signing that'll hurt us. Not good for us, but not bad either.

I think its great news.  The saints are going to game plan around their new RB and its going to backfire miserably.

I don't see that happening. Ingram should remain the starter and be the primary pass catching RB (not AD's thing). At his age,  AD will most likely compliment him as Hightower did and get his 12 or so touches a game. 

Regardless, good move by the Saints at that price and a nice 1-2 combination to have.

Wants to play for a contender.

AP: "I'm happy be back down south where I belong. Somebody is going to get a whippin'"

This fuels the fire even more for us to improve so gettleman better decide what to improve first defense or offense

Yeah I'm sure the Saints signing an over the hill RB has sent Gettleman into a downward spiral of scotch and Hot Fries to try and figure out how to account for this signing.
