Dumb Saints** fans on Saints** Report


CRA

Recommended Posts

Was on Saints** Report reading a thread where they claimed in the last 9 games Newton only has 6 pass completions go for 20 or more yards. Others then chime in about how film has caught up to Cam....that the big play is gone.

Last Sunday he had 7 go for 20+

As a rookie QB he had the 5th most receptions go for 20+

Saints* will prob play bend but dont break like last week and hopefully Chud will kill them with short routes. I still have that fear in the back of my mind that Chud will turn into Mike Martz and will think his gameplan is superior to any defense.

I saw that to. Plus the same old same old. "Steve Smith's a punk", "Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire", "We Blew them out the last game" (not noticing half the back-up defense was injured and we were playing with 4th and 5th team players) and "I hope Roman takes another cheap shot". A real classy fans base they have in the swamp.

really we came out flat and got whipped in the first half. second half adjustments cleaned up most of the problems on defense and we started to move the ball a little. late mistakes on offense cost us the game. it wasn't some kind of damning referendum on our quarterback any more than brees' game against the redskins was.

    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
