Saints sign Champ Bailey

[Mr. Scot]

This worries people?

Why do I always get the sense that people on this forum evaluate players based on game tape from five years ago?

[AceMan]

Saints fans should feel the same as I did with our Harper signing

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

Don't know how good this signing really is for the Saints, he isn't much of a corner anymore and they've got Vaccaro and Byrd at the safety spots already.  Unless Ryan just wants a really deep Safety group, I don't get it.

I'm just sorry to see him go to that cesspool.

I'm just sorry to see him go to the toilet bowl of America.

Champ isn't half the player he use to be.

I thought about writing something similar and then I remember we signed Cason, So "hurray for our side"

This thread alone tells me all i need to know about 'huddler's' football knowledge

Champ got out played by DRC during his last run and it wasnt even close. He's average at best right now.

Stick with madden guys, im sure Champs still decent there

5 years ago? Here is the PFF grade info

2010 was 3 out of 118 graded CBs

2011 was 18 out of 199

2012 was 10 out of 113

2013 was injured in August an played the whole year injured with just 5 regular season games earning a grade that put him about 62 out of 120, middle of the pack. Conversely, his +2.6 grade in AFC champ game against Brady is right back a the top 10% rank.

Also, Lewis is the #1 CB and Bailey will play alongside one the best safety tandems, so he won't be covering the other teams best guy. Saints have some young talent that A HOF CB can help bring along, guys like Corey White and recently signed CFL stampeder Derrius Brooks who has 4.3 speed.

Quote about Brooks:

The Saints have a good relationship with the Stampeders' assistant general manager John Murphy, who is based out of Metairie.

“(Brooks) has been a versatile defender for us and has exceptional speed,” said Murphy, who said five or six teams were interested in him. “He runs in the 4.3 range and showed the ability to man cover some of the best wide receivers in our league.”

The ones talking down on this signing, calling him washed up, are the same ones you see praising our moves bringing in a washed up Harper and possible Decoud.

That saints def was great just like ours. They're gonna be tough next year. They're off is already great. After their offseason moves, their already good def will be better

hell, he might be blind too

i saw maybe 3 people who thought Harper is decent.  out of all the teams in our division, it is easy to say we have done the least
