Saints fans put their knowledge on display...

Think they are honestly just starting to feel the pressue. Saints were irrelevant for quite some time, then shot to the top. Now though, they are getting older, Brees is getting older, and they already had Tampa and Atl in their face with their young franchise QBs. Now to see us get one-and for him to insanely impressive...Well, as I said, i think they know their time at the top is starting to dwindle. Window closing, if you will.

per saints report forum (thread about Wilbon comparing Cam to Jordan)

- It's easy to throw for a lot of yards when your team is getting killed.

-Meh. Stupid to say the least. Steve Smith may be small and old, but hes still one of those "throw it up and ill go get it" type of receivers that are rare in the NFL ( Randy Moss, Calvin Jonhson, and this new kid AJ Green might be one as well)

You give Cam Newton an average set of WR's like the saints, vikings, bucs, broncos, maybe raiders? And all this Cam Newton being great would go away. Hes good, but you have to remember that there running a QB friendly scheme in Carolina for the first time in years and he has Steve Smith to throw to.

Point being, praise should be going to Steve Smith and that OC far more then Newton, i watched him miss 15 yard throws to a wide open Greg Olsen in the end zone. So im not too impressed. But he is playing well.

When were we getting killed?

Neither Smith or Newton are responsible for our success on paper. Both have had their fair of stupid mistakes, and Smitty is no exception. Success is from all areas of the team. Some players play a bigger role in the success than others but people underestimate the small things in a team. It comes from the whole team.

Wait a second, I refuse to believe that even Saint fans are that stupid and deluded. Did you just pick the dumbest posts you could find, or were the other fans agreeing with these posts?

    • I still think another QB is brought in Day 3. Grier is camp body level at this point.
    • We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.   
    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.
