Divine intervention?

[zachblitz54]

How else do you explain two seemingly intelligent football men making the absolute most boneheaded decisions of their careers. First, Nick Saban, a seemingly rational individual, chooses Culpepper over Brees (forget about that shoulder vs. knee injury BS, this was a terrible move).:fire:
Now, who benefits from Saban's brain cramp? The Saints. Then, vetern GM, Charlie Casserly makes what may be the worst draft decision ever and passes on Reggie Bush:shakeno: (funny how once Charlie regained his brain function he high tailed it out of Texas). Again, who benefits? The Saints, of course. Finally, 7th round pick, Marques Colston, comes out of nowhere to make a strong push for the R.O.Y.

Don't get me wrong, these players couldn't have gone to a more deserving city/team and I am rooting for them to win it all once the Fins are finally eliminated. But, man, have you ever seen a team have so much talent fall into it's lap in one offseason?

 

[Phin-o-rama]

yes, forget about rationality when choosing a QB....9 times outta 10 you make the same choice with the information that was available.

 

[CitizenSnips]

your also forgetting the $10.000.000 Dollar reason we didn't go for brees.

YEP! :tantrum:

EXACTLY, HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET :shakeno:

 

[Timmy54]

also, how quickly we forget alot of experts thought brees had no shot of playing this year, and if he did they questioned is ability to throw. At least with Daunte, we knew he still had an arm. Hindsight is always 20/20, you have to go with what you think it right at the time. The Texans passing on Bush will go down as one of the biggest stupid moves in NFL draft history tho.

The fact that the posts following the main thread all came in defense of Nick Saban when the thread itself was not really about Saban at all tells me that even the "St. Nick Supporters" know how badly coach messed up by taking Culpepper over Brees and are quite insecure. I'm not bashing coach. I also thought Culpepper was the best gamble out of the two but that's neither here nor there. The fact remains that Drew Brees is there, not here, and is having an all pro, MVP, record breaking season. By the way, on the original topic, yeah- there must be some Saints watching over the Saints.

i also wanna point this out too. When Brees was in San Diego, he showed no signs of being this prolific of a passer. and anyone who says he did is lieing. I know he didn't have any receivers there, but he gave off that feeling that without gates, he'd be nothing. I know he's disproved this now, but theres no way anyone thought he'd be throwing multiple 300 yard games.

If devine intervention means a full 360 degree tear of the rotator cuff and a torn labrum..then yes.

This is why GM's get paid brotha. And if I'd be following any GM's lead, it would be that of the Pat's/Chargers because year in and year out they have guys come off the bench that produce at a high level.

 

[PhinsRock]

If the Brees move was so stupid, you have to look seriously at why San Diego let Brees go, for money, and $10million reasons why we made the same choice. Who knew?

The Fins had a very different situation than The Chargers or Saints.
The question is what did we get with what we had.
1. Soklid QBs wait for Daunte next year and Joey is getting better
2. Not that long ago Roth was called a bust look at him now Jason Allen is next nice hit
3 all the young guys in IR Toledo,Rodrique, etc can they contribute next year.
If Cpep had mobility would the OL be seen as so bad look at them now with Joey's quick release, look at Romo producing with an OL that couldn't protect the previous QB.
Worst Saban decision was to start Cpep instead of Joey until Cpep was fully recovered.
I believe Daunte is the better QB but Joey looked solid yesterday.

 

[HybridPHIN 23]

actually the worst draft decision ever was passing up on Vince Young, not Reggie Bush... especially since it's Houston. Passing him wasn't as bad for the Saints because Reggie was on the board, but I was one of the very few people who would have taken Vince Young #1 overall regardless of my current QB situation... Saints are looken good with Brees and Bush... But they could have had Vince Young as their QB for the next 10 years and maybe kept Stallworth with the Brees $.

 

[NorFlaFin]

The Card's might be the luckiest team in the NFL.

Still got some serious holes to fill but what a talented core.

These are all statements made by a Dolfan and are not impartial. Wait for Daunte next year? Who knows if they'll be a next year(will he fully heal)? Joey getting better? Or more of the same(inconsistent as awlays)? Roth has done what(looking good mind you)? Jason Allen lays a hit and now he's justified for #16? Toled, Rodrique- all names you mention because they wear aqua and orange. If the Jet's had picked them up there's no way your saying "Man, I really wish we had those players on our team. You know, the injured ones who haven't proven anything more then they were draft worthy(define draft worthy)."
