From "breesgirl" on Saints Report...

Wow Jimmy! So, I guess you felt so blessed to leave the team that made you an All-Pro, Multiple time Pro Bowler, and highest paid TE in history. Some jerk organization the Saints are. The organization that drafted you, mostly hid all of your deficiencies, and turned you into a true football player is the one you're now dragging through the mud?

I rooted for you, and never wanted you to leave. I didn't want to buy into the "Jimmy must have been a locker room cancer in '14." and the, "He turned into a diva." chatter. But I see that you are everything the swelling whispers claimed.

Thank you for opening your mouth and using you tough Twitter fingers to wake me up from my delusions. I just wish you would have been a man and kept the tweet posted. But I realize that not only are you soft on the field, you're even softer in reality. Thanks tough guy.

And this from "GumboYaYa"...

I see Seattle has brought out this wanna be gingers **** talking punk side. It's not the saints fault you weren't tougher than a Disney princess, Jimmy. It's not the Saints fault you couldn't even catch a cold your last season because you were so scared about getting hit. Keep that lame **** to yourself you has been and worry about the implosion your team is about to head into.

This has been a public service announcement.

Disappointing, to say the least. Really makes me wonder how bad things have gotten in the locker room and if Payton has lost this team. 

I feel like I've watched Rome burn since 2012. Oh well. All I can do now is hope.

This was on Saints Report:

He's the 4th former player to have said something like this lately, either sour grapes or "where there is smoke..."

Is that true?  If so, who are the others?

ouch...Saints might actually cheer for us v SEA? Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Here's more...

We watched him act like a ***** on the field for years, are we surprised that he'd act like a ***** on twitter?

 

Just two days ago I said I was happy to see Jimmy succeed.

I changed my mind. I hope he doesn't see another target for the rest of his career.

 

Why didn't he say "feeling like a coward this morning?"

 

Yeah, I'd say they're not too happy with him.

From what I've been snooping on the internet the Saints coaching staff is really beating up on the players for every little tiny mistake they make on the field. However Brees, and a few other players, are being coddled and not picked apart. This is leading to many players feeling resentment toward the coaching staff. Payton's justification is that the Saints have a low margin of error due to the talent level of the team. The locker room is full of unhappy and resentful players, with the exception of Brees and a few others. I knew this would be the year the Saints finally imploded. Brees is in the twilight of his career, and that means below average Saints teams until they find a new QB.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
