Williams can go kick rocks haha.  I would take La'el at RT over him.  Though with Oher looking to be our starting LT, I would take La'el at LT over him, even if he were to struggle his first year.

 

Well they are thinking of grooming Williams into a left tackle.  We can have both.

He would have to be 110% cleared with no possibility of any involvement in that murder at all. After the one incident that scarred this organization and then the Hardy fiasco, it would have to be carved in stone that he is totally innocent to be considered as a UDFA here. Then that may not even be enough for J.R.

I fully expect the Saints to be in play when he's cleared. He would have been the pick at 13. We can offer him an immediate starting spot and an opportunity to stay home and play for the team he grew up watching.

It will be very interesting to see how it plays out. I think it comes down to the Panthers and the Saints, if both decide to throw their hat in.

Yeah, he can either decide to stay home or come play with his boy. But, if he wants to play for a serious contender, he needs to come here. I'm not trying to talk poo, we're just a better position right now

To be fair, at 21, I'm not entirely sure how much being a part of a contender is worth. With Brees, for the next 2-3 years, the Saints are just as much of a contender as the Panthers, and I feel like they've made huge strides to protect the future this offseason as well.

I definitely think it comes down to Trai vs. staying home. Panthers have a pretty big play piece. So do the Saints. I just hope he's able to make the best out of this situation, honestly. While I would love him in NO, I can't help but feel for the kid if he's innocent. He really got dealt a raw deal.

You think Brees is sticking around for 3 more years? He seems to be declining. I guess I gotta see that team on the field this season with all of the change they did over the off-season before I consider them a contender. We were solid in a lot of areas and built upon our weaknesses so I expect us to be one of the best teams in the NFC next year. 

 

He's going to be an immediate starter wherever he goes.. he definitely got screwed if he is cleared in the situation.

While it is a distinct possibility, I refuse to get my hopes up at all.

Even if he is found not have been involved at all, I KNOW how Jerry Richardson feels about such problems, and even being associated with it.

I don't think Richardson would allow Gettleman to even consider the kid.

Definitely. Brees will retire a Saint. The offense will still produce. I'm anxious to see the defense. Im excited about adding Browner and getting Byrd back. I think we got more athletic at linebacker.

I'm highly skeptical that you'll be one of the best teams in the NFC. It's hard for me to believe that, coming off of a 7-8-1 season. Just being real.

      Canalas’ play calling next week

      Who believes after Rico went off that Dave will go back to Chuba, go very pass happy again, run Chuba 7 times, and give Rico 5 carries?   he has a weird obsession with wanting to pass it over and over with Bryce.

      I never once said I believed in Sam. Only that he’s proof that the Jets and Panthers are bad organizations. You spent all that time on me. I’m flattered.

      Story of the year. Get down massively to Arizona, look like your first NFL game to throwing for more than 300 yards and getting the team to within 40 yards of a come back win. Get down 17-0 to Miami, execute the offense to outscore the Dolphins 27-7 the rest of the way. Defeat the Falcons 30-0 throwing for like 150 yards. Personally, I think it would be great to have retained Darnold. Darnold in this scheme with Canales would instantly make this team a contender for the NFC South. However that didn't happen.  I don't know what you do because when they run game gets shut down, and it will get shut down, you have to depend on Bryce to play efficiently. On one third down ball to someone (I forget who), when he was rolling out and made that throw close to the sideline to convert, the TV people would talking about how special that was. What I saw was another receiver streaking all alone 45 yards downfield, with about 5 yards of separation. Even while rolling out, an average QB is able to deliver that ball, signed, and sealed for a touchdown. Bryce's lack of deep ball ability is the achilles heel to this offense and it's something that can't be fixed.  I would love to be able to draft Carson Beck. I think he took a lot of crap at UGA which now seems unwarranted. Looking at how inefficient their offense is now compared to how it was with Beck at QB, and now how he has gone into the system Cam Ward was in and outperformed him massively in just pure execution and efficiency, along with the physical traits, tells me he will be a Top 3 pick. We won't have a Top 3 pick though. So what do we do? I have no idea. Canales is too good of an offensive coach for us to get a Top 3 pick and Bryce is inconsistent enough to get us a Top 10 pick. So absent finding a guy like Nix with tons of experience and good enough measurables, which requires great evaluations, I just think we are stuck.
