Accountability Index Update

by stujo4 on Sep 4, 2011 11:47 PM CDT

Updated after the 53 man roster announcement.

Date	Name	Assertion	Remarks	Resolution
Aug 15 2011	coldpizza	Mitch King will make the 53 man roster.	Good call.	May not seem like a stretch now, but on Aug 15 it was.
Aug 18 2011	Ralph	By week 5 the starting Saints o-line will be Bushrod/Brown at OT, Evans/Nicks at guard and Tennant at center.	Strief seems to be doing ok. Kreutz can still catch his breath. We shall see.
Aug 1 2011	bondcrash	Strief will give Stinchcomb a run for his money and start at RT	Stinchee is on the street. Now Strief has to hold off Brown.
Jan 21 2011	bondcrash	OT Charles Brown is the starter by Sep 2011	He's got 4 games to make it and #1 is not looking good.
Aug 30 2011	coldpizza	Olin Kreutz won't make the final roster	Bad call.	Even on Aug 30th this was an ill-advised bet.
Aug 17 2011	stujo4	Leigh Torrence, Jeff Charleston and Pierson Prioleau will play at least a 2011 regular season down with the Saints	Prioleau is out already.
Aug 8 2011	jeff	Jimmy Graham's 2011 season will not be better than Shockey's 2009 season	jeff sometimes has these deep foreboding feelings. I'm just here to report them.
Aug 3 2011	Northfan	Saints go 5-1 in division, lose @Tampa 15-1 blah blah	I smell purple drank.
Aug 3 2011	hansdat	Bucs will go at least 11-5 and push us for the division title	That would surprise me, but it would not shock me. I think it might shock Hans, though.
Aug 28 2011	Jricky70	Saints sweep Bucs in 2011	Fingers crossed.
May 1 2011	GSO Saints Fan	The Falcons will begin a steep decline based on this draft.	Strictly a fact based prediction, I'm sure.
Aug 3 2011	hansdat	Atlanta will hit 9-7 (Julio will fail miserably, and Ryan will do worse than 2010 in passer rating)	Hans is one of those university types, and I fear that his eventual fate will run strangely parallel to Douglas Ginsburg's. (Note to Mr Dave: This is academia content, not political content.)
Sep 4 2011	FriarBob	I don't think the Foulclowns will even make the playoffs this year.	Even after 10,000 words, are you SURE this isn't rooted in emotions?
Aug 19 2011	Dan Kelly	Matt Ryan will NOT lead the league in TD passes, not even top 3, but maybe top 5	Dan's a hedger. But he's still on the List.
Aug 4 2011	coldpizza	Tarvaris Jackson goes .500 in 2011 if he starts an even number of games greater than zero	Had to go make sure he made the 53 man roster. Looks like a go to start game 1.
Aug 4 2011	stujo4	Tarvaris Jackson starts Game One in 2011	Like I said.
Aug 4 2011	Breesus Christ Superstar	Seahawks go under .500 in 2011	They've got Marshawn Lynch, Sidney Rice and Zach Miller. Does that help?
Jul 31 2011	Preston J. Gary, Jr.	Plaxico Burress will probably start game one, and play a significant amount of snaps	Doesn't that say more about the Jets' crappy receiver corps (Santonio Holmes/Derrick Mason) than about Burress? He's still pretty sore, we'll see.
Jul 13 2011	Preston J. Gary, Jr.	Jimmy Graham: 10 TD's in 2011	Wouldn't that be nice?
Jul 15 2011	coldpizza	Objects to Rotoworld's statement that Danny Amendola will return as the starter in the slot.	Ok, but it's Gibson, Sims-Walker, Amendola as of today.
Apr 29 2011	were gonna need a bigger boat Jeff Duncan	Louisville lovers love Johnny Patrick	Why is this on here?	He made the 53 man roster so I guess Gdub at least likes him.
Apr 29 2011 Jun 8 2011	xen-cuts were gonna need a bigger boat Andrew Juge	Ingram pick cost too much with too much risk. Overrated, potential bust.	You guys can take this back and get off the List any time. Just so you know.
May 1 2011	xen-cuts	Ingram scores only 2 to 4 TD's IF he makes the team.	Oh, he made the team. And the other goal might be done in September.
May 1 2011	Hi_Fidelity	Ingram has injury concerns, may not have been the best running back prospect in the draft, and doesn't represent a great upgrade over Thomas/Ivory. and when you consider the price, it was a bad pick unless Ingram puts his butt in the Pro Bowl multiple times or keys another Super Bowl run.	He was the #1 rookie RB in fantasy drafts. Does that count?
Jul 6 2011	coldpizza stujo4	Ingram starts more games than Jordan in 2011	Keep an eye on NFL.com for updates.
Jul 12 2011	skinnykinney	Ingram DOES NOT start more games than Jordan in 2011	Well, somebody is wrong here.
Aug 31 2011	Satch	Jeff Charleston starts game 1 over Turk McBride and Cam Jordan	I'm thinking it's McBride.
Apr 28 2011	HansDat	Morstead and 2011 Saints will set NFL record for fewest punts and team record for 6 games without a punt	Good thing you weren't thinking about Hartley while chillin' in all that purple haze.
Apr 24 2011	MtnExile	Thinks our run game will be Top 5.	I think M-E was sober when he typed this.
Aug 15 2011	FuSoYa	Saints' offense will rank in the 12th to 18th range this season	May have hedged a bit too much here, buddy. M-E thinks so, for sure.
Aug 16 2011 Aug 22 2011	Mr. Dave MobileSaint	Devery Henderson is not going anywhere	I don't know about "anywhere" but he did make the 53 man roster.	Here's hoping for a career year.
Aug 3 2011 Aug 22 2011	cscmember jricky70 cajuncommando58	Devery Henderson will be a surprise roster cut	Surprise! He may have taken an undisclosed pay cut, but he made the final 53.	Mickey had Vicky do a quick pay back calc of $ per average yards per catch.
May 2 2011	coldpizza	Three NFC South teams with double digit win totals in 2011.	That means the NFL North and the AFC South will be taking some butt kickings this season.
Aug 19 2011	cajuncommando58	Saints are going to sweep the division.	NFC South!!! NFC South!!!
Aug 19 2011	BlackandGold4ever	Mike Vick will have a mediocre season and not make it back to the top 5 for MVP voting.	Encouraged by Vick's preseason stink, B&G thinks he's sitting pretty.
Aug 21 2011	stujo4	Lance and Meachem each have better seasons than Colston (better in 2 out of 3 categories: Receptions, yards, TD's)	Soured on #12. Need to see fewer alligator arms and more catches in consecutive starts.
Aug 21 2011	EasyBreesy	Moore's season more likely to be better than Colston's than Meachem's as compared to Colston's.	I'm glad I don't have to decipher this until after the season is over.
Aug 24 2011	stujo4	Larry Johnson won't make the Dolphins' 53 man roster	BOOM	Truthfully, I was a little worried. I guess they're going all in with Reggie.
Apr 28 2011	stujo4	Whoever drafts Da'Quan Bowers will see him balloon up during the inevitable rehab	I'm stupid and so is every other team for passing on him. He's only missed one practice and is a potential starter. Let's continue to monitor this one.
May 1 2011	were gonna need a bigger boat	Martez Wilson, not Mark Ingram, makes the biggest impact of all rookies this season.	He said this season. Not this preseason. Hold the catcalls.
May 2 2011	Northfan	Wilson probably has the best chance of our drafted rookies to win Rookie of the Year	Again, you can get off this List with some heartfelt retraction comments. Any time. I'm here during working hours, most nights and weekends.
May 4 2011	jray2000	Martez Wilson will be the best overall performer of our draft class	You guys, all I can say is BIG 10!!! BIG 10!!!
May 2 2011	tommy	Junior Galette will be a starter this year	tommy represents a lot of Junior lovers out there. I don't see it.
May 9 2011	coldpizza	2011 RB's: Ingram, Thomas, Ivory, J Bell. Bush gets cut outright prior to training camp	Note the date. Coldpizza's instincts were telling him something. TUSK!!! is on PUP for 6 weeks but CP did not figure on Sproles.
May 4 2011	skinnykinney TAYDIGGA	Ingram won't have more than 3 games with 13+ carries	Again note the date. These numbers seem very low to me.
May 4 2011	coldpizza	Ingram will have 8 games with 13+ carries & 50%+ more rushing yards than teammates	And to coldP.
Jun 2 2011	jeff	Doesn't believe A Arrington will be a regular rotation receiver In 2011	Like, he doesn't make the 46 man game day squad very often? How about 3 games straight, is that "regular"?
Aug 30 2011	JohnnyRingo185	Prioleau and Scott Shanle will be cut prior to 53 man roster	JR is 1 for 1.	But Shanle may very well start for JohnnyRingo185's New Orleans Saints.
Aug 1 2011	tstuart77	Shanle plays SAM-and presumably starts	This CSC member is not me or related to me. For the record.
Nov 2 2010	Stujo4	The over thrown would be TD pass to Strief in week 8 of 2010 indicates Brees' QB career peaked in 2009	Please read the assertion carefully and consider it before you see red.
Aug 28 2011	Mr. Dave	Drew Brees' best years are behind him	Same concept but with nice words to cushion the blow.
Jul 14 2011	Satch	Drew Brees will prove he is not in decline by throwing less than 10 interceptions and winning the league MVP award	It's called "Decline Denial" and Dr. Melphi treats it quite often.
Aug 24 2011	Acquired Panic	Drew Brees is not declining or losing his focus.	He wears contact lenses, no? As for the decline, the Amazon is not just an internet retailer. Or something. About rivers.
Aug 15 2011	SaintsFanInIraq	Drew Brees will throw 38 TD's and no more than 14 INT's this year	Even Semper Fi can't help him throw 38, I don't think.
Jul 14 2011	Satch	Pierre Thomas will lead the team for the season in rushing yards and rushing TDs	Satch went cold turkey off of INGRAMANIA!!!
Jul 14 2011	Satch	Darren Sharper won't play another snap for the Saints	Last vestiges of hope are fading.
May 14 2010	VAsaintsfan	Condemned Ricky Williams draft day trade, applauded Tebow draft day trade	Update: 34 year old Ricky is backing up Ray Rice in Baltimore and averaged 4.2 yds/carry last year. Tebow is a 4th string QB in Denver with his only hope of an NFL career being a reunion with Josh McDaniel in St Louis or wherever Josh ends up next. Contrast and compare amongst yourselves.
Jul 15 2011	Jon Banks GRIZZ Dan Kelly cscmember Jay Preece Just 'Nother Day	Very impressed with Shaun Rogers' career even before he became a Saint	That's nice. tommy thinks he sucks and should have been cut. See if you all can find some common ground.
Jul 2 2011	Preston J. Gary, Jr.	Shaun Rogers will make a big impact on defense for the Saints in 2011.	When I hear the word "big" with "Shaun Rogers", all I can think of is clogged toilets. Sorry, but it is true.
Jul 11 2011	coldpizza	Shaun Rogers in 2011: 2-3 sacks tops	A cooler head may well prevail.
Jul 12 2011	coldpizza	At least two teams with a new starting QB will make the playoffs this year. At least one of those new QBs will be a rookie	Uh, Kevin Kolb and... I was going to say Cam Newton but that would be insane. Coldpizza must mean Jake Locker, I think he's a big fan. Christian Ponder and the Wikings? Nah.

i'll go on record in support of shaun rogers

all i can think about him for the preseason was him pushing his guy back into the backfield to the RB but only being able to get 1 hand on him and not bring him down. If he could take down 1/2 of those 1 handed grabs he’ll be a huge upgrade.

by skinnykinney on Sep 5, 2011 12:55 AM CDT reply actions

That is a great observation

and I agree. He was getting great penetration, he just couldn’t get a good shot on the RB. That will probably change when the regular season starts. I have a feeling he wasn’t giving 100% in the preseason.

also on my prediction

could it be possible that we’re both wrong and neither starts a game? doubtful but possible. Also, I’m thinking they give Jordan a shot at starting while Smith is out.

I think CamJ will do very well on Thursday

We’re all gonna get excited after seeing him sack ARod twice and force a fumble. But the rest of his season will be relatively disappointing.

I always love reading this update

Stu, do you update all the Remarks every time?

This must take a considerable amount of time, and I thank you for doing it.

And for the record, I’d be surprised if any of my wild predictions pan out. I talk out of my a** a lot here for the sake of clever and funny.

I will again go on the record and vote for this as clever and funny and a wonderful therapeutic exercise in mental health and well-being.

Dude, you're welcome

and this isn’t about paid loyalty – it’s earned recognition

this is about my honest opinion about my enjoyment of The List (and all the resultant linguistic and psychological implications: “duly Listed” and “what’s it going to take for me to get on the List?”, etc.)

And I would certainly say so if my opinion changes, or if the quality drops off, or drop the same praise/opinion on it if someone else was running this “List” show

Seconded.

Despite other differences, we’re all Saints fans, and I for one truly appreciate the labor put forth on “The List”. Erudite and witty, consistently.

And I stand by my “List-ing”: Failcons live up to that moniker this season – no post season for them.

Here here

This is definitely one of the better reads on here…although there is plenty of good material to choose from. It also helps to give some perspective to what some people say around here. That said, I’m still standing by my prediction for Vick. I was pretty tempted to pick the Cowboys over the Eagles for the division and still think they might pull it out. Maybe after a week or two, I’ll stick my neck out on that one.
