The Saints are going to be garbage. Brees made that team. 
 

The Falcons are going to be the Falcons. If Darnold is able to live up to expectations this team will be competing with TB for the South. 

Those expecting the Saints to collapse now that Brees is gone may be for a surprise. 

Yeah Brees was one of the best QB's in the league, but we also know that Teddy took over for him and did rather well for a stretch of 5 games or so.  

Bottom line:  Saints are a talented team, don't sell them short.

Nah

Every single long pass attempt the reciever had to change his course, turn around, slow down, and/or catch at the hip.  It was a horrible pro day and probably why he dropped like he did.

I think you’re confused as it was almost The most universally praised Pro Days in the league. And this throw was absolutely better than Darnolds.

That was 1 throw.  Media loved him, scouts not so much obviously. I said the same thing the day after the pro day and you made excuses for it.  I think you just blocked out all the bad throws

The question for them next year will be if Winston is going to be feast or famine like he was at Tampa, or can the Saints coaching staff turn him into an effective qb?  

Winston is in a similar situation as Darnold.  We’ll see how much of their previous performance problems were coaching and the supporting players around them and how much they ‘own’ themselves.  Will be interesting to revisit this at the end of the upcoming season.

You literally wrote “every long throw” just a couple posts ago. Media did not love him. That’s where stories about his work ethic came from. I think you, again, are making things up for dramatic effect. Scouts not so much obviously? One of the tweets above literally quotes a scout.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
