Aints' Davenport Injured

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Saints first-round DE Marcus Davenport is expected to miss "about a month" with a toe injury.
The 14th overall pick in April, Davenport was injured on the final play of the win over the Vikings this past Sunday night. Rotating in with Alex Okafor and Cameron Jordan, Davenport has four sacks through seven games. It's an obvious hit to the depth up front with the Rams coming to town this week. Oct 31 - 1:13 PM

 

Not a game changing loss for them but significant nonetheless, as they have very little depth behind him. Especially considering their upcoming schedule:

vs Rams

at Bengals 

vs Eagles

vs Falcons

at Cowboys

at Bucs

 

I can't see them getting out of that better than 3-2, and possibly worse.

 

We really need to take care of business in our upcoming games:

vs Bucs

at Steelers

at Lions

vs Seahawks

at Bucs

at Browns

 

Should not lose more than one of those (most likely Steelers if any). Good opportunity to make up some ground on the Aints and possibly surpass them. Most think the division comes down to our meetings in week 15 and 17 but I think this upcoming stretch of game is more important. If we can come out ahead here all we'll need to do is beat the Aints at home and the division is ours, regardless of what happens week 17.

I agree we shouldn't lose more than one, but don't sleep on the Seahawks.  They always play us very well and they've looked much better than expected this season.

Plus Russell Wilson is the luckiest QB in the world when he plays us.

I miss that rivalry at its peak.  I hated when we lost, but the games were always some of the best of the season due to the combination of young, athletic QBs + great defenses.

Damn I had forgotten that they're playing the Eagles, Falcons, AND Rams at home. What a draw. At least we get to host Seattle. 

And they got Steelers at home we have to go to Pissburgh on a short week...

Saints gonna take L's vs. LA, Cincy, Philly, and ATL. Maybe even Cowboys.

We're gonna beat TB, DET, SEA, TB, and CLE. Maybe even Pitt.

We're in good shape right now, Saints injuries or not.

So Saints are gonna go on a 4-5 game skid here, while the Panthers continue to string together wins?

Why?

    • He is also a player that has that "lock room cancer" tag.  We don't see much of the full picture, but I try to stay far away from that type of player. He is historically not good at losing, and we tend to do that a good bit. Not a good fit in my opinion.  I respect the skill, though.
    • I honestly can't think of a teams first line basically telling the coach to fug off like last night's line of Aho, Jarvis and Svechnikov did to Rod. 
    • Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.
