Brees when targeting

blackadder said

Sadly, we have not learned on the personnel management and just keep piling on the silly silly stupid mistakes.

Now we have Fleener who is 28 and has always had bad hands. Who pays that kind of money for someone who is who they are at this point?

He's looking at at 30 and his game is not going to change. If he hasn't clicked with Drew Brees yet, it's unlikely that he will improve meaningfully to justify that salary.

What gem will they uncover this offseason?

Who had the best year of his entire career last season? That would be Ben Watson. Why was Jimmy Graham able to develop out of a basketball playing third round pick into one of the premier pass catchers in the league, and has not even come close to replicating those numbers on a different, contending team?

What team resurrected Jeremy Shockey? What team got double the production out of Dave Thomas than he ever had in New England? What team consistently finds a way to get production out of low pedigreed tight ends?

The Saints also added a pretty good tight end coach as an assistant in Dan Campbell. Coby Fleener has all the tools, but wasn't really featured well in terms of his skill set in Pep Hamilton's offense. It had and still has a chance to be a difference making move for this offense, and, factoring in those elements, was a very sensible risk to take to improve a position on the team.

So why on earth would that be considered an outlandish or silly or stupid move to make? And why would we declare it to be a complete and abject failure after two games? Pretty defeatist attitude if you ask me.
