Why do people think Loomis has some kinda mythical prowess than nobody else can touch?  The guy we have, Samir, is no damn slouch in the cap department himself. 

Because for well over a decade, every year it's always the Saints are going to be in cap hell and there is no way they can make any moves, and yet they do it every year. You don't have to like the man or the organization to realize he's damn good at his job.

Honestly if we don’t land Watson we now have the money for Djax so not all is awful.

Are you joking?

I actually hope the Saints sign him.  He is a middling, average CB with incredible athleticism, subpar size, and a history of getting beat like a drum when teams pick on him.

Or Gilmore which ever you prefer. I mean more that we have some room to play around more than anything.

Until you realize we still don't have a QB a fraction as good as Watson.

You have to laugh at people talking about "gutting" the roster when we're talking about 4-5 picks and 2 players, one of whom (Burns) is due for a big raise. Of the three firsts, you have to figure at least one would be spent on a QB in the next three drafts anyways. So we're talking about a difference of probably 5-6 players. GUTTED.

They've literally kicked the can down the road for over a decade. That's why it's rare they pickup high priced FA's or good-great football players. Didn't they sign AJ Klein to be their starting LB at one point? Would you call that a great pickup? I wouldn't.

Exactly.  The keys to that team, for forever, were Drew Breese and Sean Payton and now both of them are gone.  Having a Hall of Fame QB and a Hall of Fame Head Coach can cover up lots of holes on a team.

Doesn't matter how good the QB is when you can't field a good enough team around him.

Watson is 26 years old.  QBs nowadays don't stop being really good/great until about 35.  We're talking 8-10 years of high-end QB play.  That is plenty of time to build a good team around someone.

Bingo, good sir. A great QB fixed with a great HC. Crazy how that works huh?

      XL about to turn the corner

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
