What the Taints fans are saying...

Quote from their board:

Celebrity Servers at Morton's Featuring The New Orleans Saints

The kicker is it's $400 a person. Which is waaay too expensive for me. But I figure some of you might have the expendable income. And it would be awesome for Jonathan Vilma to hand you a cork to smell and bring you a big *** steak.

Uh.....no thanks.

What's funny is they would have criticized him more if he said.."Well their linebacker core is complete poo, all we have to do is worry about the rest of 'em".

Of course he's going to say they are good or they are talented or will present a problem. You can't overlook them and to publicly say they are poo is asking for a target on your back.

I see a lot of level headed responses with some growing respect. I see nothing wrong with the majority of that thread.

Not all fans are homers. Yes, the Saints LB corps is poo. Not complete poo since Dunbar and Casillas are seeing more playing time. Vilma should be rounding back into shape. However, there still is Shanle getting beat across the middle and grabbing face masks on 3rd and 20, Wilson is injured, and Herring belongs on special teams only.

So yes, it did strike Saints fans as very odd that he would say the LBs are a strength, instead of the DBs or D-line.

He might have spent all week watching film on the LBs, with the coaches wanting to exploit the weakness there, and that was the only defensive group he could think of when they brought up the Saints defense.

I've never seen a bigger collection of idiots than I have in that forum. One guy was like how can u people idolize a convicted criminal and cheater. Let's see Will Smith best the poo outta his wife, Chris Ivory knocks people upside the head with beer bottles and Reggie Bust is a convicted rule breaker of NCAA violations, yet Saints fans all probably suck their dicks.

    • Its too late for that.  Time has run out.  You dont give him a ext if he plays "decent".  He played "decent" at the end of last year and look what happened.  
    • I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).
