Stroud, Foreman and Hurst >>> Baker/Darnold, CMC and Moore

Solid

Eh, I think we compete for the division this year, maybe win it, maybe Carr extends the Saints’ relevance a little. But we should definitely dominate the NFCS next year and be a contender for the whole NFC. At least a playoff win or two.

Would be great to get him, but I’d rather have Thielen and/or Chark if it came down to only getting one or two of them

I mean A) he’s a little bitch and B) I was just using him as an example. He’s already old and broke, and even though he and Thielen are around the same age, OBJ’s game was the type that disappears quicker than someone like Thielen. Not to mention he was reportedly wanting $20mil a year, and if it’s even half that it’s too much for him.

Yea, a reliable handed vet is exactly what we need. Better than an old and broke former big play superstar like OBJ, I’d love it if we could land Thielen (dependable) and Chark (big play potential, still young). Swap out one DJ for another heh.

If I recall correctly Hartsfield was really bad. “Started x games” isn’t exactly a huge pro when you were bad in those starts.

Heh yea that definitely caught my attention too. I’d agree with you on all your points, I think Simms was just caught up in the moment lol. I like Stroud maybe 10% more than Lawrence, but Young is more like 75% more than Wilson

I was joking obviously, and I was on the Howell bandwagon last year, but he hasn’t shown anything yet. We’ll see. In seriousness I’d say he’s looked like the smartest kid on that short bus draft class for now.

Same

Certainly did not lol. I was just coming back to mention Simms has made some good calls in the past heh. I think last year was just one of the worst QB years ever. Like the Josh Freeman and EJ Manuel years

Nobody is right all the time, and he hasn’t been proven wrong yet, Corral hasn’t had a chance to prove whether he’s better than the other trash that was taken last year. Could argue he is the best of that class just by not playing and proving that he can’t lol

Another interesting nugget, Chris Simms says Stroud is the #1 and it’s not even close. Says Lawrence vs Wilson, Burrow vs Herbert, Mayfield vs Josh Allen were closer than Stroud vs Young.

They talk about other stuff too. Just thought Florio’s whining at the beginning was funny, like this trade was set up for him and the media to have something to talk about.

Even in his “worst” game he was great, just that flip int was even partially his fault. Otherwise even if Young might be better at those scrambling schoolyard plays, he also can’t make those ridiculous throws you see Stroud make routinely. His throwing ability is just insane.

Only realistic way I see that happening is if a bad team trades us their 1 next year for our 2 this year. Or we trade some player for a next year’s 1st at some point in the season. Only candidate I could see for that is Burns and I doubt that happens.

Another thing Cosell said that some of us have been pointing out, it’s not Richardson’s ability to make reads or any of the mental stuff that is most suspect, it’s his accuracy. Cosell called it “controlling the football”. Says he is downright bad at it, but could learn. I’d take that gamble if we were still at 9 and Stroud and Young were gone, but definitely not at 1.

Great listen. Cosell says the same stuff I’ve been saying for the past four or five months. CJ’s throwing ability is special, can do things not many young QBs can ever do with his throws. He’s plenty mobile for what the QB position requires and has shown it his whole career, not just the final game. Says he’s the top QB. Very complimentary of Young too, specifies it’s his size not his height that is concerning.

Not a bad deal, $7mil a year

I could see tossing in a 4th to move up to 30-33 maybe if someone is there but I don’t see us trading away significant picks again any time soon unless it was for an NFL player that could help us right away.

Amazing deal. Fittsmagic.

Good luck to him. Seemed like a good dude. Went from one bad situation with the Jets to another with us.

Hope so. He’s a better kicker than Pineiro, but he’s gotta stay healthy for that to matter.

Ah, I was just going off profootballreference.com. Still, 315 is also a bit light for NT to my recollection. We’ll see. Maybe they have him add a bit more weight too.
