If the Saints were as dumb as some of their fans, and they released Marcus Williams. Would you back our front office if we went after him?

I know it was a terrible play, at the worst time, on one of the biggest platforms in the NFL. The play was inexcusable. Yet, he has played well all year and he played well for the other 59 minutes and 45 seconds.

Just curious what you guys would think.

Even though he's a Saint I honestly feel bad for the young man. He's a good player, he's a rookie, and he blew what could ultimately prove to be the biggest play of his career. Snatched defeat right out of the jaws of victory.

He faced it like a man.

nothing but respect for him.

More than I can say for some of their fans and some of the people who attacked him on social media.

Yup. Hearing how he broke down and cried, and then having to face the media with puffy eyes. Big ups to that guy, not many people could do that.

Guys, I know it’s not gonna happen. I know it would be incredibly stupid, I stated that already. I just seen a million posts trashing him and some joking about fans wanting to cut him and I laughed at it. 

Just after seeing the relentless assault on this man, I wondered how our fans felt about him. 

Also, Brown and Bell didn’t “lose” the game for Pittsburg. Marcus, as literally as you could put it, lost this game with that one play. Kids gotta be eating up inside. First year and could be remembered this way forever. Sucks.

Bell likely isn't going anywhere, though it sounds like they have a nasty fight on their hands if they franchise tag him.

I wouldn't be terribly shocked if they parted ways with Mike Mitchell though. He and Bell both embarrassed themselves guaranteeing they'd be in the AFC Championship game, but Mitchell is far more expendable.

After watching the video again I think part of the reason he whiffed was he became indecisive on which Viking the ball was intended for.  They were so close together than maybe just for a moment he thought the other receiver was going to catch it.   

It is the only reason I can really think of how he missed him so badly.

That said, you don't cut a quality player for a mistake.   Williams will have to live with that play for the rest of his life.  Nothing can change that.   He'll never miss a sure tackle again.

Who knows but I think the two most likely possibilities are that he was going for a table top type hit and just misread it or that he was trying to avoid a penalty.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      By TD alt · Posted

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
