Post your reaction when the New Orleans Saints signed Panther legend John Kasay

He had a good year against bad opponents.

I'm reserving judgment.

Likewise.

Very articulate QB who had tremendous success and you're reserving judgement? Could something else be bothering you?

[TheRealDeal]

What does being articulate have to do about anything?

If you're implying it's because of his race, please look at my breakdown of QBs into Elite/Good/Game Manager/Bad and see where I have Vick, then look at my personal feelings towards Vick.

What you'll find is that nothing influences my judgment and evaluation of QBs except for the football field.

I would recommend not trying to start race wars or pissing matches on the Huddle.

We're moving forward.

Change is coming.

[CatMan72]

I would say Drew had the better night. Not sure though, you tell me...

So 288 yards and 2 TD's is better than 323 yards and 3 TD's?

I didn't say anything about race, you brought it up.

[TheRealDeal]

My apologies, what else were you implying then, if not race?

I think I picked up on his point.. when comparing 2 QB's, derail the original point by using the TEAM to divert & redirect..

[jtnc]

The fact he's a running QB.

[TheRealDeal]

The fact he's a running QB.

Well if you consider Josh Freeman a running QB then this discussion is over.

Based on the strength of his opponents and the longevity of his success, I'm reserving judgment.

[CatMan72]

I would also submit that Jake threw for 323 yards and 3 TD's against MUCH better defense then the defense Brees threw for 288 yards and 2 TD's against.

Bottom line: when you win the SB and and a year later you get bounced in the wildcard round by a 7-9 team, you are by definition regressing.

[Peppers90 NC]

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.

He is $$$ from within 42 yards

[CatMan72]

I just don't understand why Kasay had to "go there" in his comments?

You can express your excitement for your new team without taking a shot at your old team. I understand that his feelings are hurt, but I expected more from him.

Thanks for the memories John, sorry it had to end this way. The next time JR or Hurney are asked about Kasay, they should return the favor:

"Well, John was great for this organization for many years... very reliable... uh, well except that one kickoff that cost us a SB. We did everything we could to try and extend his career, but at the end of the day we could no longer justify the use of an extra roster spot to cover for the fact that his skills were eroding. We've got a guy now that can kick FG's every bit as good as John and can also kickoff... imagine that!"
