You're assuming that there is this abundance of great players that aren't knuckleheads. If I recall, many of the top talent in this year's and last year's draft had question marks, either injury or character related. I think finding high character/high talent is the exception, not the rule.

He definitely seems to have the Derrick rose syndrome. Scared of injury and is purely mental after the smallest thing



I don't really blame him. I was playing basketball (a sport I've played my entire life) at the LSU Rec Center in 2003 and suffered a major injury (tore all my tendons and ligaments in my ankle).

After having to leave school for the semester, have surgery, and rehab for months, I was 100% healthy, but mentally I was a wreck. Even the day I went back to the Rec center to play, I was shaking and nervous on every play and thinking that a wrong move would mean my ankle snapping.

It changed the way I played my game entirely. I am tall so I would always bang inside in addition to having a good outside shot. After the injury, I no longer wanted to go inside, or go for a rebound, or really leave my feet.

To this day I really don't care to play sports all that much because the injury and the time I spent laid up are still very real in my head.

That said, I'm not being paid millions of dollars to do this, but I get how it can totally mess with someone's head, especially someone like Breaux who had a serious neck injury.

NOLA.com reporting that he got an x-ray on the left leg that he broke last season and that it showed a "more severe injury" that the contusion that was reported although "it is not expected to be long-term in mature." Breaux was seen at the facility wearing a walking boot and using crutches.

sounds like he might've broken that leg again.

You expect me to believe the Saints training staff mis-identified the severity of an injury?

You go too far, sir.

And really, the one player that stands out as having some sort of disgruntled issue last year that's still on team is Mark Ingram

And that he might be on the block because of that?

i'm just reminding everyone of things that have transpired within past year just like when Breaux camp was mad that Breaux was in on special teams play when he got hurt last year. There's been some friction between Breaux camp and Saints organization. But i feel this is all you trying to save face for the whole you couldn't comprehend situation we had a minute ago.

Players initial reactions are almost always "oh no, my dog". Later on, game face, "it's unfortunate but we understand this is a business".

So you are saying he is disgruntled. Right. And I'm the one that can't comprehend?

Throwing shite on the wall here: Browns 2018 picks already
Second round: (3) Own pick, Eagles' pick via 2016 draft-day trade, Texans' pick via Brock Osweiler trade.

Third round: (1) Own pick.

Fourth round: (2) Own pick, Panthers' pick via Andy Lee trade.

You might be right. The Saints have a history of paying dudes that never get on the field.

Seriously, I don't see how being oft injured will entice a team not the Saints to give him a big contract.
