I don't think I can ever trust this guy.

On every team, in every sport, in every loss, some guy is laughing. You can't just pin that on Dre Kirkpatrick.

That's my thought. 

Even the strongest most competitive athlete's have shown smiles despite when things haven't worked out for them.

I usually mark that up as different personalities.  Not everyone is wired to boil, cry, or throw a tantrum when things go south.

Levity can become misconstrued as not caring.  It sometimes is a release valve for sanity's sake for some individuals.

But i do know the guy wants to be the best, that is what keeps me holding out hope for Dre.

And i just love that he said what he said about Shitsburgh.

We will see. I pray you are right. I just have that gut feeling.

If the $ are comparable with Jacksonville and the Saints how do you go to shitty Cleveland and trash area also a rival who after 5 years you should hate? I get the choice if you have no other options but he had plenty and the $ were extremely similar elsewhere.\

Well, he had to pick between Cleveland and New Orleans. So basically, this shithole or that shithole...

I don;t see the same as you.. he performed well when healthy overall the last two years... his pay is on par with the market at his position and his ranking

Amen! Both played well last year. This year will be a serious youth movement and while there are surely going to be growing pains, we have more than enough veteran presence out there to help.
