Dome Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Unger for Graham probably is a push as far as value. The fact that we got a 1st too in pretty awesome. Obviously we wasted the pick, but Unger has been so good for us it makes the wasted pick sting less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you never really know what you're getting, right? I like your post Iowa. I know we're frustrated, but we could very well get a good player with that 5th next year. We got Unger from Jimmy and in my eyes thats an even trade. Anything else we get is bonus. Anthony is fortunate we traded him and i'm happy we get another chance to pick someone else. It's not THAT bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Payton missed that class. This trade (and events leading up to it) is continuing to become more and more pathetic. But time will tell, I suppose. 38 minutes ago, whodatworm23 said: Depends... First need to know if Anthony is a bust or its just another hit aganist our incompetent coaching staff. That's why I said "time will tell". Part of me wants him to kick butt, the other part of me wants him to stay the same. All of me wants these coaches gone.

Saints might start stock piling picks in order to trade up if have to to secure one of the top QB in this draft. Personally i like the Oklahoma State kid Vaccaro likley the next to help acquire picks to aid in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodatworm23 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 By trading Anthony this regime basically put themselves in a lose lose situation... If he fails in Miami then there (NO FO) isnt off the hook because it was them who wasted another 1st round pick. If he excels in Miami its another raw talented player they let get away because of coaching (ie Akiem Hicks). All that for a 5th round pick... Lol This FO is so incompetent its actually funny!

Mid Iowa Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 When was the last successful trade we got for a late pick? Our most recent one had his heart amputated a week later. Have we ever gotten any player of value for a later pick? That's not a good trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenkins too. He's still the biggest wtf moment defender the Saints couldn't make work out. the kid was making plays in the Super Bowl as a rookie. I remember he had one pass breakup, and IIRC committed a perfect DPI that wasn't called. We should've known then it was a coaching issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Vilma was a 3rd or 4th - Coming off a knee injury and Injury Reserved, so a craps shoot that actually paid off. Shockey was (I had to look this up) a 2nd and 5th round pick. Seems steep for a Tight End, but he got the job done, I guess. I guess when I was saying "later pick" I talking about 4th or 5th round picks. This could be a long discussion about variables, so I'll just assume I'm still mad about sending a first round pick away for a 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Shockeys presence was very under the radar. He brought an attitude that Sean Payton's finnesse offenses have been lacking for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, eventually the Ohio State coaching just got covered up by the Saints coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even told my wife, I hated him...until he played for us. I totally agree, he had the perfect attitude for the team at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodatworm23 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just when I thought I couldnt hate Sean Payton more right now... His comments on the Stephone Anthony trade should offend ALL Saints fans. He called it a "development and health issue" that lead to the trade. First off your unhappy with his development yet in his first season at MLB he broke the Saints tackle record while flashing the athletic ability we havent seen from the position in years. Was it all great, NO but he was a rookie on a terrible defense that needed to continue to develop. So hiw do the Saints and Payton aid in that development? Move him to two different position over the next 2 years while cutting his playing time over 90% and publicly labling him a dumba** who cant remember his plays. Wow... Talk about a top notch development program ugh!!! So Payton wasnt pleased witj Anthonys development and progress... WHAT ABOUT PAYTONS DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS!!! If thats how Payton feels aboug Anthony then how should Saints fans feel about Payton? As far as Payton bringing up Anthonys injury history... PLEASE, give me a break! We can literally make that commet about every single player Payton has brought into this franchise on the roster. Its funny though... Anyone else notice how offensive players are cut more slack and given much more leeway than dedensive players? Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Iowa Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 @whodatworm23 I'm starting to get the notion that you'd like to see Payton gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
