Retrospect from a Saints Fan

Hello

Well, first off I want to open this and say that I do not intend at all to say anything smart-ass, trashy, assholish or anything of that sort.

As a lifelong saints fan, I can tell you that I have been here oh so many times before. The countless amounts of mice, monitors, windows and chairs I have broken on any given Sunday im sure matches up with the most passionate fan of any franchise.

The feeling you have of disappointment and the disgusting realization of having to wait all the way to next fall for a new start is frustrating, and that is putting it lightly.

What I can tell you is the best franchises in this league are the ones with fans that, while disappointed, never give up on the actual franchise. As a fellow team in the NFC south, I have always tolerated Carolina the most of the 3 opposing teams we face each season. I think it is because I see a very similar fan base.

While it did not happen this season, I see fllashes of good in this Carolina team, the same flashes you guys see.

I mean from the bottom of my heart that I really do hope you guys get it together over the offseason. This organization has given me way too many memorable and amazing sundays (happy, and frustrating) and I hope you guys can find yourselves in the off season, find your stride and start putting out quality, competitive football; the same quality competitive football I think of when I circle you guys on the schedule at the start of the season.

Good luck and see you guys next year.

its not a sympathy post. its a post from someone that who lost everything in katrina, was on a roof for a day and my team winning a superbowl 4 and a half years from that moment was something that was unrealer than the government not being able to get water to an american city. so i know what its like to feel down and out.

Sharper is a cocksucker, have a nice day.

It is pretty obvious sharper was excited about the fumble, not that he hurt stewart. It is also pretty obvious Sharper looked concerned while standing there.

The best part is, if one of your safetys hurt one of our runningbacks and got the ball back in the same play, your players would be acting the same way and you would be happy right there with them. There is nothing wrong with that either. But I am logical enough to understand that they were rejoicing in recovering the ball, not hurting a player.

I guess Merritweather, Harrison, Collins and Mikell are all assholes too because they all act the exact same way when making a huge play like that.

If Sharper is an asshole, thats fine. I can respect your opinion. But, don't act like you wouldn't be behind your safetys celebrating for a play like that and don't act like your players wouldn't be acting the same exact way if the role was reversed because you are outright lying to yourself.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
