The kid is good. The Saints fans had to sit through nearly 40 years of only being able to brag about Archie Manning and that half-footed field goal kicker. Let 'em enjoy themselves.

Their current QB is also finished/in a contract year and they have one pick in the top 80 in April 2018.

I seriously doubt Kamara would be doing the exact same thing here. Much worse oline for the 1st half of the season and much less accurate QB throwing to him, AND shula running him up the gut 99 percent of the time , take out almost all those huge outside runs he had!

The Saints should brag for once about the draft.  They hit it out of the park with that kid, and their draft overall looks at least in Year 1 to be the best in the NFL.

The Panthers hit it out of the park in 2013, the Falcons did in 2015, and the Saints did in 2017.  I guess the Bucs are due something sometime.

CMC is going to solid if not spectacular.  Nothing against CMC, but objectively speaking, getting Lattimore and Kamara is better than just CMC.  Still, CMC has been a good pick and is continuing to improve.  Kamara will probably win OROY and deserves it.  CMC has still added a lot to our offense.  It's going to be tough b/c he is always going to be compared to Kamara, but to me CMC at least now looks like the 3rd or 4th best offensive weapon taken in the draft after Watson, Kamara and maybe Fournette.  Over time Watson will be the best pick b/c of the position he plays, and he would have almost certainly won OROY if he stayed healthy.

Both CMC and Kamara will probably have very good careers.  A year ago, Micheal Thomas looked like a much better WR choice than Devin Funchess.  It's more of a wash now that Funchess is in a better position to succeed, and Funchess may have the most upside.

Kamara has benefitted by being in the right system with Sean Payton, having Brees throwing to him, and Ingram to compliment him.  People forget that Ingram was considered a borderline bust at one point, and now is playing at a Pro-Bowl level.  Still, Kamara deserves all the accolades he has received.

Devonta Freeman was the best RB in football last year, but he has had a string of injuries and the concussions for him are every bit as much of a concern as Kuechly.  So much goes into a players success, and injuries, coaching, and other players around you can change so much.

The Saints finally had a good draft after 5+ of colossal failure.  It's been good for us, b/c they wasted a lot of Brees's  prime along with some horrendous FA picks.

so Kamara isn't as good because he's got a great o-line?

      Dan Morgan has the chance to do the funniest thing

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
