Deangelo

The 2012 Saints defense allowed more yards than any defense in the history of the NFL. I don't need any more explanation of why Deangelo Williams had such a big game.

well we were playing 3rd string guards/centers so is that really an excuse.

I've been saying for a while now that I'd rather keep Deangelo than Stewart.

Stew doesn't miss many games but the man always has some sort of nagging little foot problem. He stubs his toe in the preseason and he'll be questionable and not practice all season.

I like them both and I'd hate to see one gone but if I get to pick I keep DWill.

Having a patchwork OL doesn't cancel out the fact the Saints statistically are the worst defense in the history of the NFL....

Saints D is so bad we used scrub lineman to attack the middle of their DL.

One game doesn't mean much. That isn't a DeAngelo thought process. 16 collectively tell you more than 1.

Williams had a great game. Fun to watch. One game doesn't mean we suddenly don't need to fix our RB clusterfug

Williams will be 30 and Stewart 26. It isn't a tough call.

26 year old who spends all year questionable and always has a foot / ankle problem of some sort?

If Stewart wasn't always dinged up it's an easy decision.

Alas he is always dinged up somehow. That makes the decision a little more murky.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
