Saints might be dumping Fleener, Coleman, others...

Saints players on the bubble

I've never seen anything special in Fleener.  Definitely thought New Orleans overpaid when they signed him.

They did overpay for Fleener but I would bring him in. He’d be a great #2. Could cut Manhertz; I don’t see anything special in him.

Yep, if we don’t expect Thomas to be ready to contribute in a meaningful way this season I’d take Fleener as our #2 in a heartbeat and let Thomas be the #3 and develop with minimal pressure on him this year.

Personally, I think Thomas will be ready to fulfill  a role as the #2 TE.  It is a perfect situation for a developing player.

Yep, he's already a good blocker, and I think he was underutilized as a receiver.  He'll be fine as the #2 TE this year.

You think lol with 30 something catches I'm gonna have to say underutilized is s great term for his production but I do believe he'll be just fine as our #2 this year.

Kenny Vacarro too.

This just continues to show me that our franchise is ok with scraps at safety. They have a veteran in Geathers and drafted a guy I really wanted last year, Malik Hooker. Yet they understand that they need more back there, and oh yeah, they cut the guy that is currently one of our starting safeties. 

I'm not a huge Boston fan, though maybe it took him a few years to come into his own, and he is a good safety now. I'd prefer Reid or Vacarro over Boston but would take any of these three. I'd actually welcome Ron Parker as well as a bridge guy to help support Gaulden in case he's not ready for primetime this year.

Naw I thought I wanted him until I read his pass coverage was nice but his run d was still below average, I don't want to go back to big runs off his poor angles. That's why Chargers let him walk after a good year lucked up and scooped Derwin. His weaknesses which got him out of here are still prevalent we need to look elsewhere.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
