I say he sits, how you can go from "possibly missing a few games to on track to play just days later is beyond me. And even if he plays, why roll out a hobbled and hurt Brees against a top D like ours, but hey, have it your way Payton.

 

Oh and for some reason it's BBR links I can't paste on my phone for some reason, so that is my source btw..

They've said the decision to play is up to Brees.  He'll play.  If out of pride if nothing else.  He knows he's only got a few years left and this could be his last year in NO.  Sean Payton may want to leave after this year too so all caution will be thrown to the wind.

Starting 0-3 is a death blow to a team's playoff chances.  0-2 is bad enough.  They probably look at it as if they can't win on Sunday there is no future anyway this year so why not chance it...

If we can't beat the Saints even with a healthy Brees at home, it says a lot more about how far we can expect to go this season than it does the Saints...

The Saints are talent deficient at every position except QB (if Keenan Lewis returns healthy you may could include CB).  The Panthers have talent at every position except WR.

The Saints certainly aren't going to roll over but losing to them would throw this forum into a funk we haven't seen in 10+ months and would be the ammo the national media is looking for to start our 2015 obituary.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
