i’m saying it’s a bit odd how posters are keying in on a safety, a much lower paid player with far less expectations, when luke’s performance is the elephant in the room

Ever since Rivera started dicking with the defensive scheme, Luke hasn't been the same. Obvious that's another reason that this experiment is a failure.

Nobody questions his run stopping ability, just his pass defense.  Don't worry, the Saints will 'Cook' him again.

if a player excels at something and is struggling at something else (which can be argued he's struggling largely because he's having to focus too much on stopping the run) then that's something that the coaches need to scheme for.

i'm just extremely sick of seeing all the "cut him! leave him in new orleans!" about the team's leading tackler. the saints would have 60 points running up and down the field if Reid wasn't cleaning up the run game.

is it picking on the safety to run the ball up the gut 8 yards? lol luke’s been playing patty cake with the linemen on these runs. no effort.

Well cmon bro .. everyone knows his effort is legendary .. but for whatever reason it ain’t working .

We need a #1 WR, Moore the #2, and Samuel in the slot.

We need a interior OL and to hope the Daley, Little, Moton combo develop as OTs.

We need a matching pair of safeties.

We need some DL.

Not sure about QB, but protect him so we can see what we have.

 

Other than that, we are in good shape heading into 2020.

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
