Ive seen him play and he is beyond bad.

Seriously, this guy shows moderate athletic ability, poor motivation, fair technique and very poor concentration. Perhaps he is baffled by the concept of “hut!” He could be a reclaimation project and a workable backup, but risking Drew’s health and the team’s success with Alex is too much to ask.
“Saints lose to Eagles on holding call. Philly is Indy bound!” That hurts.

This guy is a proven bust. He had a good rookie year. Beyond that, he has been horrible. He would be a stop-gap type of player. He isn’t mentally into the game, and unless he does get mentally in the game, he will never be successful.

That holding call was holding, and I am a Cowboys fan. Orakpo can make anybody look silly – he is a stud. Pretty much the only one on that d, in my opinion. In game speed that play looked more questionable, but with Instant Replay, he was absolutely holding. But your point is???? What does a single play in a meaningless regular season game matter as of today? He isn’t on the Cowboys any more. It wasn’t like that penalty cost them the game and kept them out of the playoffs.

As a Bucs fan, I simply could not be happier at the Saints’ signing of Alex Barron. You could rip a turnstile off the gate at the front of the Superdome, at it would protect the QB far better than Barron does

——————–

As a Saints fan I could not be happier that the Bucs have one of the most overrated/overhyped Quarterbacks in the league. Have fun finishing third in the division…..again (god help you if Cam Newton lives up to it then you’ll be dead last)! That being said, this guy wont play, hes there for the purpose of an emergency, a third stringer, and if things got to the point to where he needed to play we’d go out and get someone else…. do you honestly think we’d trust this guy with protecting the most important player in the history of our franchise? Wise up guys. For the first time I actually found some of the comments made by cowboy fans pretty funny and clever… you guys may not be so worthless after all. I like this one especially…..

If he does, the saints are in trouble as our oline must be a strength to do what they want to do.

The refs screwed us!” when if he had done that on the street, he would have been locked up for assault.

Veteran insurance against what?? That someone will get a choke hold? That Brees will get a knee blown out when he gets beat on a speed rush by a rookie??

N.O. would be better served by starting a tackling dummy in place of A.B.

Unlike Leon Lett, Barron sucks and brings absolutely nothing positive to the table, that is unless holding has been legalized by the competition committee.

Then complains why he didnt get a call…The refs see the acting too which is why he does not get the calls. They should throw a flag like the NHL for flopping……..LMAO.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be afraid!!! Be very afraid!!!!

This guy is a matador (OLAY!) , not a football player. Cost us the opener last year in Washington and it just got worse from there. He’s good for at least two holding penalties a game.

You’d better help he gets arrested in the French Quarter or gets eaten by a gator down there, or I guarantee you he is going to be a detriment to your team.
