Can we get Doublebagger banned already!?

We all know this dude has nothing to say but tired, stupid shite
So you’re saying he’s signing with Frisco?
Such a heart-wrenching story!

I’ll be pulling for Tarik now moving forward regardless where he plays… even RatLanta!

To see Aranda coach?!

Wow
Saints have won more games than most organizations in the last 5 years, and had won the most over 2017-2019 because they take BPA and fill other needs adequately in FA/later rounds/UDFA.

Ruiz (so far) has been a big miss, but it was a need at the time for a guy that was supposed to go earlier
USFL Championship = Found a nickel on the sidewalk halfway covered by a pile of dog crap… not sure I even want to pick it up.

SB Win = Won the F U C K I N G Powerball



How are you this annoyingly stupid!?
Could be right, but a negative viewpoint.

Before the “Organizational Transformation” of the Brees-Payton era sure, seems very unlikely; now we are seen as a top job opportunity for coaches as well as administrative/scouting/business personnel.

Dennis Allen is really not being given a fair shake IMO, to take the baton and run with it. But even if he were to flop and we’d find ourselves looking for a new coach in 2 or 3 years, I think we’d have good up and coming coaches looking at us as a great opportunity. Sean McVay is a pretty good coach who was a promising “no name” about 5 years ago.

I think getting a good leader is important, but it also helps when a good mind is paired with an organization doing things the right way… at least in terms of willingness to spend and give coaches/scouting/GM resources to win.

Here’s a few younger examples that represent what I would be THRILLED to see Dennis Allen become:

Sean McVay
Zac Taylor
Matt LaFleur
Kyle Shanahan


A little older and more well-known:

Mike Tomlin
John Harbaugh
Sean McDermott
Mike Vrabel
Ron Rivera
Pete Carroll
Andy Reid


Guys that I KINDA LIKE but the “jury is out”:

Kingsbury
McCarthy
Reich
Zimmer
Siriani
Arthur Smith
Pedersen
Campbell

There’s only a handful of HCs that I think I know are out of their depth:
Rhule
Judge
Bowles
Nagy


Then there’s the coaches that I admit I have no idea about my opinion:
Miami coach
Salah
Browns coach
Culley
Staley
Hackett
Raiders coach


Not everyone has to be “a Belichick, Payton, Reid type”. A good leader in a good organization gives you a chance. Ultimately are you one of the handful of teams that knows WTF you’re doing or are you throwing crap against the wall? The coach is only 1 (VERY important) part. GM, scouting, PLAYERS (QB)…

I’m not sure Sean Payton would’ve been successful in Miami with Culpepper had he in some alternate reality been there instead of Saban in 2006.
RIGHT NOW I’d rather see what a Sean Payton “Disciple” Dennis Allen can do with what has been turned into a top-5 ORGANIZATION in the league.

RIGHT NOW is informed by knowing Sean no longer wanted to be in NOLA, that hindsight now strongly suggests he ALWAYS saw NOLA as a stepping stone—which was absolutely reasonable in 2006–but once he’d helped make this place a premium NFL organization & he’s still saw us as somehow “junior varsity” while trying to jump ship for LA, Dallas or Miami…. FU.CK HIM!

Let’s see what Dennis Allen can do here in NOLA without letting his stint in Oakland ruin it. Oakland was at the time as dysfunctional as any NFL team has been in league history and no one was seeing any success. He was very good here in his role with the DBs that got him a chance at DC in Denver, very good in that role to quickly earn a HC gig (again in a broken organization), and has been VERY GOOD since re-joining us in NOLA in 2015.


Sean can eat a dick

Time will tell, but I see Russell Gage.

Gage was underrated coming out of LSU because of horrendous QB play and LSU’s lack of offensive prowess in general at that time, but he’s still just “a guy” that really wouldn’t upgrade our WR room very much if at all.

If we draft him, I’ll hope like he’ll to be wrong and have MANY chances to eat crow—which I HAPPILY Would do!

Just feel pretty confident that he has slightly above average physical traits for an NFL WR and that’s combined with a less than ideal build.

The hype on him is seemingly too much that he’d last to round 2, but I’d be comfortable selecting him there…. We’ve seen some shocking slides in the past after all. Some warranted (Manziel going 22nd when many were thinking potentially 1st overall and most thinking top 10 at worst), and some that every team in the league has rued (Aaron Rodgers going 24th).

Or Emmanuel Sanders!

Did we forget about him? I know he’s not 100% he wants to play anymore—and that’s obviously HUGE—but if he decides to play I think he’d be a great get.

He didn’t have his best season, but he was arguably the 3rd or 4th WR option… here he’d almost certainly be the 2/3 at worst

He was competing for targets with:
Stefon Diggs
Cole Beasley
Jamison Crowder
Plus anoth guy or two probably on/near the level with Harris and Callaway..

I’m down with Sanders (probably quite a bit cheaper than Landry) BUT I really think we NEED to go after a starting-caliber Guard!

Ereck Flowers! Quinton Spain!

We CANNOT roll the dice on Peat being hurt as always, Ruiz continuing to SUCK, and hope Throckmorton suddenly makes a 10-point “madden rating” jump!
Not with uncertainty at OT and putting Jameis back under center following a torn ACL.

I really am very surprised we haven’t addressed starting caliber/at least VERY QUALITY depth on the OL/specifically interior yet!
What does this even mean?

This team, with ALL THE INJURIES AND COVID BS, almost made the Wild Card round last year with Trevor Siemien and Ian Book combining to start as many games as Taysom, who was the #2 QB for a reason. These guys all tried to run an offense with an 80% MIA OL and no CGM and no Kamara for 6 games w/injuries.
I HIGHLY DOUBT we will see the historic-number of starters due to injuries/illness that we saw last year... And I highly doubt many teams would've been able to come out with a winning record.
By "Almost made" the playoffs, we needed the team that eventually won the SB to not blow a 21 point lead... seemed reasonable.

This team is a Super Bowl Champion at best, but I'd still call losing in the Divisional round a decent but disappointing season.

If the Bucs are SB contenders, then we are SB contenders.

And Drew Brees was a 2nd rounder and Tom Brady was picked in the 6th round.

NFL Conventional Wisdom is often just hyped-up groupthink.

How often is a team 5 years removed from one of the greatest drafts in league history, netting 3 long-term keepers and 3 others that just couldn’t stay because there’re only so many players you can pay? How many times is this “trade value” chart counting the team that lOsT THe TraDe! Getting an extra 1&2 or 2 1s in the next couple years because of the ever so rare coach trade?

Dominant defense, special OL and Skillplayers (Kamara and CGM) and maybe JUST MAYBE they have a better grasp of what Jameis is capable of… perhaps they see a “top level contender” team that given the right piece or two at the right spot or two can make as legit a run as anyone… ???????.

I’m not a fan of WHEN this trade took place—feel like trading picks when you don’t know who’s available doesn’t make much sense—but take that “conventional wisdom” crap and flush it.

I don't agree with your "why" -- I'd LOVE to have a guy that got open, caught the ball, occasionally took one 70 to the house, and played "soft" versus guys that just can't get open on their own...

I don't want us to trade for him for 2 reasons, draft capital for a guy who clearly has made a career of chasing the money, not winning.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, I don't think his teammates really ever liked him, most notably CGM. Yeah, yeah, Ceedy and CGM got in a fight... that's bc ceedy is a douche (Our douche). CGM's teammates generally love him and his competitiveness and that he's happy to see other skill players produce... Cooks pouted when he didn't get the ball -- again because he's more concerned about putting up the stats and how that influences potential future paydays.

Cooks is a turd. IF I could know he's been humbled, and now that he's made some real money that he is actually concerned about winning and success then sure, I'd love to bring him in for the right price.

Knowing what I THINK I know about him and what I think it'll probably cost to trade for him, I hope they don't do it.

If they do, I'll try to talk myself into being excited and I'll hope like hell he's grown up and is a better teammate now than he was 5 years ago.

I see Chris Olave and I see Russell Gage.

I think he'll have a decent NFL career, but he is VASTLY overrated IMO.

He's benefitting from playing on a team MUCH BETTER than his competition 11/13 games per year, and was never the offensive focal point from the defense's perspective.

I've seen one guy here on TD compare him to Ja'Marr Chase (WTF?!)
I've seen a comparison to Justin Jefferson... he's 1 inch shorter and 15 pounds lighter while only running 4 1/100ths of a second faster 40. JJ runs (and ran right out of LSU) much crisper routes and is better after the catch not just with better size but also "crazy legs" quickness and jukes.



WR's I like better than Olave in this draft:
Burks
Wilson
London
Watson
Pickens
Moore

I even like Williams more even with the first season being a lost one due to the injury.



If Olave 2021 had been on LSU 2019, he'd have been the 4th or 5th WR.
Chase
Jefferson
Marshall

McMath/Olave
We elected a black president TWICE!

Then that black president and his like-minded socialist arse hole contemporaries started stirring the sh¡T and helped the country move BACKWARDS with regard to race relations.
one of a couple of decent OGs out there (Ereck Flowers or Quinton Spain…)

Jarvis or E. Sanders or even Hulio Hones

Bring back PJ


Draft a WR early (my favorite is Burks, I DO NOT SEE what y’all see in Olave)
Need to invest a pick or 2 on OL if the value/fit is there.
Possibly an under the radar QB like Strong from Nevada.
TE could use some help, AK/MI could use a better change of pace/complementary runner… Tony Jones ain’t it.

I’ve always appreciated the Loomis/Payton era philosophy of using FA to really try to fill the most glaring needs so that you feel comfortable with truly going BPA in the draft.

I think bringing in an interior OL upgrade, a WR (or 2), and bringing back PJ sets us up nicely to go BPA
