Kasay's explaination on why he wanted to play for New Orleans...

Kasay admitted becoming comfortable with a new team on short notice would be an adjustment, but he was perfect on the six field goals he attempted during practice, at distances from 19 to 33 yards from alternating hash marks.

"This is a big change, obviously," Kasay said. "I spent a lot of years in Charlotte, and this is a great opportunity. I'm very grateful for the chance. (The Panthers) had some success for sure, but we lost our fair share, too. I had a few (winning kicks against the Saints), but those are in the rear-view mirror now."This is a real blessing; this is a very talented team. To have the opportunity to watch practice today, the tempo they use, their attention to detail, the things that they do, there's the making for a good year."[/I]http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf...asay_cons.html

There's a nice back-handed bitch slap to the way our team has been run (coaching wise).

Don't think it was done intentionally, but he obviously noticed a huge difference in how the practices are being run. Can't blame him for wanting to be a part of a winning organization. Also in the article says that he was perfect on all his kicks during the first few days of practice.

Apparently this is a recurring theme with the Saints. Here is an article about them signing pro-bowl center Olin Kreutz this offseason...

Saints Coach Sean Payton said center Olin Kreutz, the 13-year veteran New Orleans signed Friday turned down higher paying offers from other teams.

The attraction, Payton made clear but left unsaid, was a shot at winning a Super Bowl. Kreutz joined general manager Mickey Loomis to watch the Saints practice Thursday evening and what he saw was worth more than more dollars somewhere else, according to Payton.

"He actually had a flight out this morning and he never got on it," Payton said.

Coaching and Front office are obviously doing things the right way in New Orleans.

Saints do not equal winning organization.

They have been a winning team for the past few years....that I give you.

But as an organization, they are one of the biggest losign organizations in the HISTORY of the NFL.

Apparently John Kasay isn't intrested in playing for the 1978 Saints squad...

As you just said they are winning now, and John Kasay just signed with them now. All I'm saying is that you can't blame a guy for wanting a chance to win a superbowl before his career ends, just like Olin Kruetz is as well.

LOL, we would have had a little more success if not for his kickoff at the end of SB 38.

New Orleans knows all about losing, they did it for 40 years.

He should show a little more gratitude to an organization that bent over backwards to accommodate him for several years while his skills were waning.

I'm grateful for the contributions Kasay made as a Panther, but he's the enemy now... show him no mercy.

He did have a chance. He couldn't even hit the field on a kickoff in the Super Bowl.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
