Finally not mad at Drew Brees anymore

Take this for what it is

My cousin works around the facility and he said the Saints and Sean Payton are very high on Emmanuel Butler.

He said that Butler was just Raw coming out of a small school college and the Saints/Sean didnt want to just throw him in the fire. They wanted to groom him on the PS this year so he could be prepared for next year.

He also said that Butler was making huge strides all year, so it wasnt about Humphrey being better then Butler it was all based on strategy

I will say my cousin has never steered me the wrong way yet. So I have no reason not to believe this was true.

Also the Saints releasing lil Jordan earlier this year instead of Butler, pretty much portrays what he is saying

I really have high Hopes for the kid, and think that he may shock a lot of people next year

That's fine and dandy but he sure helped a lot in that Playoff game, watching from the bench..

The Saints have had numerous camp beasts who have dominated in Training Camp, and Pre-season to be regular season flops once the big lights get turned on.

Right now it is what is, the Saints have been poor evaluators of bringing in WR talent outside of striking gold with "Can't Guard Mike", flopped on Cam Meredith, only got 1 good productive year out of Ted Ginn, year 3 and still waiting on Tre'Quan, undrafted guys like Carr, and Kirkwood have barely made any impact at all and struggle to see the field, or even be active on game day.

I get it they have a strategy with him, but I'm not holding off on going after a Cobb or Sanders in free agency or targeting Jeudy, Lamb, Shenault in this Draft because they are hoping Butler "pans" out and can "develop" into something one day.
