It’s easy to shite on the Foskey pick in hindsight, but if he had panned out nobody would be saying shite even with Branch being a stud. For most prospects nobody really knows how they will pan out. If Shough ends up being good that will be viewed as the steal of the draft.


This is what bothers me the most. We have basically set fire to a second round pick every year and yet these picks are usually heralded or at least seen as fine until the player eventually busts. And yet we use a 2nd on a QB and everyone loses their minds just because of the position

Doesn't matter he will likely be released on June 2nd.



We still have both of our post June 2 cuts as far as I know, so they could do this today if they wanted

If I was them, I would just put him on IR (or the bench if he says he's healthy) and hold off til next offseason to do a post 6/1 cut then. It will make our cap situation a lot easier to manage. Plus, frick him, let him wait another year to reach FA.
Probably soon now that we drafted a QB and the stage is set

People just have unrealistic expectations around what teams should be getting from the draft.

Your first being good, one of your second or third being an eventual starter and getting one long term decent contributor from day 3 is the bar/standard for a decent draft.

MOMENTS

Games with moments are the most memorable. When that thing happens and you know as soon as it does that you'll remember it for the rest of your life

Obviously you can have "strong moments" in meaningless games, but they just are way more powerful when they have an impact.

The Kick 6
Minnesota Miracle
Blocked by James

The Saints did their homework and invested time with Shough in the process. They visited at Louisville in-season, they went to his pro-day and Tolzien did a private boardwork session with him / spent a whole day, and they brought him in for a 30 visit. Now he says he'll die for the team. I'm here for it. Hope the kid works out, at least it looks like he's gonna give it his all.

You REALLY think the Denver fanbase is any better?


No, but also he left way before he landed the Denver job

I was mostly kidding anyway.
Seems way more likely Sean left because he hated some of our fanbase, like the ones who are melting about the Shough pick :lol:
I cannot easily express how much I fricking hate this dude :lol:
Good post, I agree.

The outcry about Shough has more to do with narratives people have (wanting Shadeur or Nuss next year) more so than the actual player. We haven’t had a good 2nd round pick since McCoy, and the outcry for those picks wasn’t 1/100th of this.
