Clownery signing with Titans, not Saints.

Meh, I was kinda hoping he'd sign with the Saints. So far, Clowney has basically been the defensive Sam Bradford. Just living off of hype and former draft status while putting up mediocre numbers and missing lots of games and eating up cap space. That's the kind of guy I actually want signing with division rivals.

You want the Saints to sign Clowney and have to face us twice a year? He would have a field day with our OL. I know you're a hater and all but try to be unbiased.

32 sacks in 6 seasons. He's a highly athletic JAG.

Cam Jordan would be beating him to Teddy all day long anyway.

KK is a DT, not a DE or OLB.....i swear some of you guys seriously....

I’m aware, it was a joke. But the big money given to KK was not for nose tackle duties - it was based on his ability to get to the QB. Regardless it was a joke.

Reports out that the Saints essentially tried an NBA style sign and trade to land Clowney since they're screwed cap wise, and would've paid Team X (Browns) a 2nd round pick for their trouble. 

Almost gotta respect the Saints willingness to burn down their next 5 years solely for one last chance this year.

    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
