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.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
