Hilarious. He was terrible for them at the end, came here and resurrected his career behind our elite front seven and somehow N.O. thinks he's turned back the clock?  LOL! 

That's the way it goes.

I like Harper here.  He was a good mentor, but we all saw he had some limitations.  It really helps when you have that front seven in front of you.  NO does not have our front seven.  They might be better than they were, but they aren't as good as us.

Good for Roman Harper. I hated him as a Saint, hated him through most of his first season here, then he adjusted and he became a very key guy for us. We obviously didn't want to resign him, so his probable only option other than retiring was playing for the Saints again. Can't begrudge a guy that. I have a feeling he'll be about as effective for the Saints as Charles Godfrey was for the Falcons though.

Uncle Rome was a big asset to our guys, seemed to add a lot to the team.  Glad he could have a good two years with us.  Will be interesting to see how he does with the Saints.  I wonder how bad the culture shock will be for him going from the 3 time division winner to a team that's struggling, especially on D.

I hated Harper when he came here, but I didn't know anything other than he was with the Saints.  He turned out to be an awesome guy.  Talked to him for a few minutes during his first TC with us, and I immediately changed my opinion of him.  What he did for the team, and the young guys truly was priceless, if you think about it.  Of course he's older, and slower, but I'm not sure that back end would have been half as successful without him.  He made sure those young guys were where they needed to be, and I don't recall a time he was out of position.  He would just get beat sometimes, due to the age factor.  He also made for great interviews.  All around great guy, and I will miss him.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
