Why Saints Should NOT Bring Back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson

Should New Orleans pursue Chanty Garner Johnson and bring him back to the Saints? No, absolutely not. When I look at New Orleans, this is very simple. Ain’t no way in hell he’s signing with the New Orleans Saints. And right now, the reality is Chanty Garner Johnson on the New Orleans Saints doesn’t affect your win total one lick. So, am I more interested in seeing a young guy like Yonas Sanker get reps and continue to develop or bringing in Chanty Garner Johnson who might make you a little bit better on the back end but not really going to affect your win total? Give me Yonas Sanker. And maybe more importantly even than that is culture. You got a rookie head coach who’s 37 years old who’s struggling out the gate. They just had an embarrassing loss. Do you really want to introduce Chanty Garner Johnson, that element, that variable into your locker room where he may do the same things in New Orleans that clearly he was doing in Houston that caused him to cut him despite the fact that they sent a former first round pick to Philly to get him back in March.

  1. Matt does have a good point about CEEDY Deuce coming in and disrupting the locker room. But at the same time Alonte Taylor has been looking really bad. For cheap maybe, but I’d rather see Quincy and Kool Aid getting reps on the outside and Taylor back in the nickel and dime packages guarding TE, RBs, and the occasional blitzes.

  2. Hell no we don't need Ceedy Deuce back! We are REBUILDING!! Making roster moves for nostalgia does not expedite our rebuild. Developing our young guys will. Let's get a long look at Sanker. And while we're at it, let's see more of Stutsman and Riley too.

  3. I know Sanker is a rookie but he looked lost and confused in Seattle. He was one of the problems on the defense that you complain about yet you support Sanker. Can't have both.

    Maybe he needs a vet to learn from. Get who makes the team better.

  4. Sometimes the rookie and young player needs veteran leadership to watch, learn, and discuss what they saw or just experienced. The injury was very bad for the Saints.

    People seem to understand QBs needing time to learn and develop in the NFL, yet think defenders learn through screwing up and playing badly when they are not ready. These guys are not ready.
