Gayle Benson wrote a letter.

I know some of you guys want to give Gayle Benson magical powers... but hey, who am I to break the illusion?

She is a billionaire. Compared to most of us, she does have magical powers. Unfortunately, not effective at competing against other billionaires.

we have to get a QB in the first round and a HC with an offensive background. Save the second round for a RB.

There is no Qb worth drafting in the first round this year, especially in the slot the Saints will pick from.

Qb play was very weak in college football this year. The fact a non qb won the award speaks volumes. Manti Teo was the last non qb in 2012 to win it.

Saunders is the best Saints secondary player tonight.

Nope, the reporters reported it in detail... we already did this exact exercise with you. the players already expressed their thoughts on Allen getting fired for a long time coming.. Gayle speaking to the players behind closed doors....... all has been reported... Like...... we went through allllllllll of this already... WITH YOU..... no less.

Anyone think this gets better if we bring back a middle of the road QB…. A 35 year old Superman…. A 30 year old RB…. 2 WRs that can’t take a hit…. And a HC that yells at kickers?


Anyone?

To be fair our 30 yr old rb is really good when Pete doesn't run him straight at the NT every play

 

[Devildog]

Let’s draft a RB in the 1st round. That’ll turn things around.

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Exactly. I find it amusing that for as downtrodden as our team has been, as difficult scoring has been for us, and how downright BORING our team has been, that there is a contingent of fans turning their noses up at a guy that led the nation in yards with a healthy 800-yard lead, led it in touchdowns, and was sitting at the Heisman ceremony a week ago.

I mean, I get it, we have other needs, but if the grade comes in very high, we are not in position to say “Oh we don’t want that guy because we need to fortify our OL depth.”

I’d imagine we will knock out some of those needs prior to the draft anyway.

Not to mention the non-football aspect on that the fanbase could probably use the jolt of excitement a player like Jeanty would bring.

I’m not saying it’s the move to make; I am just saying that if the board plays out in that manner and his grade is that high, you don’t then turnaround and downgrade him “because running back.”

I like Jeanty and think he will be a good one, I also agree that we need offense…can we get him in the second??? lol

Just never want to draft a RB in the top ten, jmho of course.

Agreed…. That wasn’t the question

 

[longtime lurker]

Gayle canned DA….lets see how much further she will go with it.

Manti T'eo didn't win no Heisman

 

[Chinese bandits]

The difference in qb is time to throw and separation

 

[SaintKenn]

Heck, let's make a call and see if Malik is available this offseason.

Anyone?

Anyone who believes that is as off as anyone who believes Rattler is the answer lol.

You’re very spot on about the top two wideouts. Made of glass. And I’m a huge fan of Shaheed.

His gf told me he did though
