Saints cut Prince Amakamura...hmmm... wonder what's up with him, a seasoned vet couldn't get thru the first game?

From what I've seen, he's not what he once was. And honestly I don't know that he was ever anything special.

Cool name, but that's about it.

I understand that there are busts, but how bad was Hurney?  If you recall the whispers after draft day:

1. Marty tried to trade up to get Little.  he was nearly a first rounder.

2. Marty tried to trade up to pick #33 to get Jimmy Clausen. Could not believe it when Clausen "fell" to him.

3.  Marty traded up for Armanti Edwards, giving NE the 33rd pick in the draft.

Marty was so bad, he helped us get Cam. 

Oh, and about that--Marty wanted Darcel Darius; Rivera wanted Cam.  Rivera won the debate.

Great at picking stud 1st Rounders....absolutely dreadful at everything else it takes to be a competent GM.

Rumors said he offered our 2011 first rounder to move up to #33. Thank goodness they said no. Our 2011 first rounder turned out to be a pretty good player.

I'm not going to worry about what if's.  There's just too many variables to consider.  The fact that they are trying to cover as many of those "what if" as the can gives me some hope there's a plan at least. 

Is it a good plan though? Which is better? Having a bunch of guys that can do a little of every position or having great guys that play one position?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
