Part of it is he played at Louisville, a non-program program according to people here. Remember, this is first and foremost an LSU board. So, according to most of the people here, you draft starters out of the SEC. You may be able to get a backup or 2 out of the Big Ten, but every other conference is to fill rosters for Canada or the UFL.

Part of it is that the Saints could trade a 7th round pick for Pat Mahomes and then sign him to a league minimum deal and people here would call it a bad move and overpaying because they will hate everything the team does.

Part of it is the cuts of the handful of bad plays he has had, plus that stupid clip from the combine. They can't get off of those even though all these young QBs have moments like that in college cause that's what happens sometimes to young QBs. Underhill puts those plays in his compilation of the player and then suggests that these plays define who he is and it goes from there. You just ignore the 90% of the rest of the time.

And part of it is that some people here just don't understand football, so they just go along with groupthink.

she's also been 1000% correct on a lot of her i thinks. is her i thinks not allowed to be on a PODCAST? Why is she being singled out? There's a chauvinistic approach to wanting to call out "Some lady on her podcast" trying to demean Russini who has worked in the nfl business a long time. She's not just some lady. She's credible and deserves a bit more respect. Derek was nothing but a total douchebag standing in front of a church congregation.


True, but there is something else here about insiders in general, not just her. They get information from teams and agents and whoever and report it as things they have learned from people in a position to know. But they also get analysis from people not in the know, and they do their own analysis. They rarely differentiate between the 3 sources of information, so you never know unless it's one of the times they have said it if it is a fact they have learned or their own take on something. It's all usually mixed into one column, report, or podcast. Underhill is horrible at this; it's a chore to listen to one of the podcasts over on his site and try to figure out what is reported insider information and what is analysis. So I understand if a player gets annoyed at insiders who do this.
Skip is one the media members who thinks that Shadeur is better than Brady and that the Chiefs should cut Pat Mahomes and draft Shadeur Iand hasn't shut up on X about it for 2 days), but he posted this about us:

Then, just now, he posted this:

I was liking our draft, but now....

Anybody know anything about this kid? Not that you like him because he plays in SEC? Is kid good, I see overreach at 9. Why not trade back if you wanted this kid. Walker and Warner were there . Freaking Saints never seem to not disappoint me.


He was projected in most mocks to not be there at 9.
I think they really want one of the OT's, but most mocks have all of those guys gone by 9.
Just to add one thing from the article here, the writer thinks that Dart or Milroe are the more likely targets for the Saints in round 2.
If the Louisville kid is there in round 2, they will take him.
Jeff Duncan reported yesterday that his sources are telling him that they will not draft Sanders, never intended to draft Sanders, and this Carr shoulder business is not affecting their thinking at all.
This is the problem here. You can't focus only on the bad 2nd half of his Pistons run and ignore the great first half. Nor can you just tout his championship run and forget how bad things got at the end. Both happened and he is responsible for both.

He built a champion and a perennial playoff contender, and when that team aged out he was unable to replace it.

Which Joe Dumars will we get? Who knows?

Who do you think is doing the firing?

"Does he have any in good old fashioned CDs right now growing at 4-5% interest for the short term to grow principal amounts in the bank?


I don't know if this is the case here, but you better believe that there are multiple guys who have accumulated so much debt by the time they hit the NFL draft that much if their rookie NFL contract is out the door the moment the contract is signed.
It's a good thing some of you people don't follow Major League Baseball. You would literally go insane.

re: Spenser Rattler deserves a shot.

Given all the chatter about the Saints selecting a QB, I think Kellen Moore and his people have looked and the film and said, "No, thanks."
I'd fold the franchise for them making me crazily overdraft both players.

In most years, Ward is a bottom 1st-upper 2nd round guy.

Dart would be a 2nd-3rd round guy, maybe even falling to the Rattler neighborhood in the 5th.

The lack of QBs this year is inflating the rankings.
I can see the logic in this thread:

If LSU hadn't fired Will Wade, the baseball team wouldn't have dropped 2 out of 3 to Texas this weekend.

You guys are amazing.

Here is some reality: if Men's basketball, Womrn's Basketball, and Football were all undefeated over 4 seasons and 4 time national champions, then when LSU loses 2 of out 3 to Texas in baseball over a weekend, the fans would be just as upset and maybe more so.
The translation is: if someone picks Dart in the top 10, they are doing so out of need rather than talent because he is a 2nd-3rd round kind of QB.

In other words, steer clear, Saints. You already have a bad-but-playable young QB on the roster (Rattler). You don't need to waste a 1st round pick on another.
This one gets better:

So, we get a pick for losing Yiadom, and then we get him back in FA.

His value was being a veteran receiver in a room full of rookies. With Olave and Shaheed returning, he was no longer needed at his salary.
