Saints Fans Will Not Stop Bragging About Alvin Kamara

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?

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
