If Benson wants a contender she better tell Loomis and Co. to start “Planning for Manning” right now

That had to be an assault Audi. It was black and scary looking as it gained autonomy and attacked all those people. No one needs a military grade Assault Audi

They want to control him

As they should. If I had to guess why, I’d probably say that they want to control him because they have league and team bylaws and baseline behavior expectations because he would have been making millions.

“They” have every right to “control” their employees / players because of the money invested in them to represent the team brand.

This team will struggle for at least 2 seasons based on the aging expensive and poorly constructed roster

We had 15 years of awesome and won a championship, here’s to hoping

That being said, using 40 overall on a project QB given the needs of this team was a bad move imo. Hopefully he’s the next Josh Allen but I’d bet my house that his ceiling is “below average starter” in the NFL.

The best part is that it doesn’t matter

There’s confidence and then there’s boisterous delusional arrogance that could poison your football team and set it back a decade.

If Sanders was some kind of generational talent that was as close to a “no miss” prospect as a QB can feasibly get, he’d have been drafted already and whatever team had him would have to invest more in keeping him from becoming a cancer, but he would likely be worth it.

It appears that the sad truth is that he isn’t anywhere near good enough (even potentially) to convince an NFL franchise to pick him at a (so far) top 3 round price tag.

None of what was just said above has the first thing to do with the color of his skin

At least Loonis didn’t trade up to make a shitty pick this year, he just let it come to him naturally.

Progress?

Still doesn’t mean he was worth the 40th overall pick

Wouldn’t be mad at that. TE is a position of dire need imo.

acting like using a 40 pick to swing for a qb is the end of the world if he doesn’t become an all pro qb

Histrionics aside, and given the current train wreck of a roster, I’m of the opinion that using 40 overall on a 3rd project QB that is older than Trevor Lawrence is a giant mistake from Loomis when the best player available on defense would almost certainly immediately be a starter and have a larger impact on the team.

Simply: He’s not worth 40th overall for almost any team much less one with the roster holes the Saints have.

I’m just pleasantly surprised Loomis didn’t trade up to make a bad pick like normal.
