Rumor has it that he would consider the Saints if they came knocking.  No mention of the Panthers. 

Why would he risk his health behind this Oline....I presume he would like to still be intact when he has grandchildren.

This plus he has not chance at playoffs with our team, like he is going to go to a team that thinks that have a chance if they lose their quarterback which would be saints.

Well, with Rivers we have a chance AT the playoffs with that extra berth. Now the chances of a deep playoff run with this OL?? Not very likely.

One of my favorite players of all time....would have loved to see him in a Panthers uniform.

 

 

Past tense is meant to be there.

Rivers was still playing at a high level for Indy but I don't think he has Brady or Brees longevity. If he doesn't, playing behind this line would send him down the road quickly.

He can be efficient, no doubt about it...but not with this O Line.

I watched him very closely last year, and while Rivers never had a gun, he could barely get a 10 yard out to his guy without a perfect pocket.

He could play well for the Saints, I think he would end up tarring his rep here though.

Hate he never got a shot at a ring after that 06 debacle with LT going out and him having to play on a torn ACL in a playoff game...was always going to be hard in that conference with the Steelers and Ravens always being who they are, and Brady and Manning I perfecting their craft.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
