Wants to retire a saint? Give him mid tier money guaranteed until retirement. No kicking the can and overpaying. MUST BE TEAM FRIENDLY or we gotta cut cap liabilities
its crazy its some so called saints fans in here that thinks he’s declining but like you just said and i fully agree this OL the last few years has been garbage asf, you can put CMC behind the saints OL and he wont even be close to the stats he has on the 9er’s
Well said! I couldn't agree more let him go out and perform and then Saints can make a decision after the season. Saints can't keep operating like the past kicking the can has completely hurt this organization long term.
@@nathanielvitale1698 nah, matt has 20/20 vision 90% of the time. Matt constantly brings up Trey Hendrickson as a huge mistake to let go, but he was ok with it at the time! Matt is literally the guy who tells you why you were wrong AFTER the dust has settled.
woah woah woah...Kamara is NOT a declining player. He had to deal with a declining system. No matter how good your back is, there needs to be some type of lane and also play calling that goes to that player's strengths. AK would still be a top RB in the NFL if not for the past 3 years...that's what killed his numbers.
Exactly these guys have the IQ of a walnut… I could easily tell kamara has tons left in the tank. They’ll work out a deal and he’ll show people they made the right choice
AK has no business carrying 200 times a season, he's the most balanced RB in the NFL. When you backup QB has to go against the HC to get the guy who they brought in to score TDs after leading the NFL in TDs the previous season it tells me, they were plotting to get rid of AK who had 16 TDs 2 years prior with less carries and started doing this guy the same. The Plan is to play the RBs less based on their lack of production cause by the bad QB play.
@@alphasports3743 200 is fine I actually want his number to be around 250 on the year that’s 14 Carry’s a game. He had no business running majority of his plays between the tackles
I say the saints use their discretion however this new OC is here cuz what he can do with AK… Ak still have a lot in the tank for a smart offensive system
just like mccaffery in carolina, I think kamara was in the same boat with carmichael and can explode in this offense (if o-line is competent). I wouldnt give him a boatload, but appreciation for a dude that put up good numbers over the years and had us screaming whodat! when he got his hands on the ball. i would rather see him put up horrible numbers for another year than him rocking and rolling in denver.
QB play, AK had less targets in the last 3 years, then he had his whole career ... he caught on average 80 passes. But they used im as a power back carrying 200+ times in the last 3 seasons which he's never been. He is the only 2017 RB who is still on the team that drafted him ... he won't play for the Saints this season, KC, Steelers, or Denver. AK is smarter than any QB thats on the Saints roster.
@@alphasports3743 I think they play him this year, and I saw somewhere he wants two years and thats doable. I doubt if he wants an over the top contract but there is some kind of conflict going on between the two for him to walk out of minicamp so who knows. besides sean payton, I dont think you get much trade value and they cant cut him. cant see it playing out anywhere but nola for 2 more
Duce was electric! First time i saw him he took a kickoff back for a TD and had 10 carries for like 115 in his first preseason game..My favorite player
I agree we should have paid Trey Hendrickson but idk about Marcus Williams he has battled more injuries with the Ravens than he ever did with us. Now it made since at the time to pay Michael Thomas although in hindsight it looks awful. However I wouldn’t say that we did wrong to pay Kamara sure his production has declined but he has still made a lot of nice plays for us and he is our all time touchdown leader so I wouldn’t say we were wrong to pay Kamara!
You can still love the player and say he did not live up to the worth of his contract. It's the sad reality. Alvin has not come close to his production pre 2020, regardless of who's calling plays, he doesn't move like the same guy
Kamara hasn't had a fair last 3 years. He was the only good player on the offense and now he has a chance to be used as a dynamic back again and people say he is asking too much
This type of offense and as long as the O-line keeps the zone open any rb can have success, but with Miller being younger and the way he attacks the hole.. he should have some monster games this season. Plus he not really feeling the pressure to produce... that's normally when a rb comes out of nowhere!!
Kamara was a great player three years ago. What have you done for the team 2:47 lately. Let him play out this year on his contract and then either give him a two year deal or release him. If he sucks and the wheels fall off the cart then release him or trade him.
Of course you brought carr into it. Look it depends on what he wants. Does he want CMC money? If so he can go. If he wants to play next year with 12m guaranteed and another void year then I’d consider that.
Let’s be real… Saints paying T.Hill $10M at 33 years old… The contract is on the McCaffery’s in Carolina… who the 49ers just extended… Saints are gonna crash… $84M in the 25’ cap…
I think this is the first video in a long time that I really think what you said makes sense and you’re right on it most your videos you’re not but this time you’re right so I’m giving you where you deserve them
His production has nothing to do with his play ... faulty QBs was the main reason why the Saints offense sputtered. AK has never carried the ball 200+ times but had too because of bad play-calling and a QB who chose not to follow his progressions.
Exactly. Derrick Henry has better recent production and signed 2 yr at $8m per. Kamara set to make $12m this yr is an overpay based on recent production. I don't see how the team benefits by continuing to overpay him. Outstanding player, still has juice left, but he's under contract at a highly paid number and the team has the leverage. Play out your deal and earn an extension. Otherwise holdout and crash your own value.
Kamara is the best offensive player on the Saints team! How can you redo Hill contract and not Kamara, make it make sense and Hill is 33. Kamara is just like McCaffery give him best time around him, he will be a top back once again
Kamara is a team leader,pass catcher who has horrible cosches current, and in the past. Both needs to step up. Unlike carrbage who throws game winning interceptions and then cheers for them then turns on his own teammates.
If AK is going through a so-called "decline", then his decline is the rest of the running backs peak. AK STILL a great player and have alot of reslect in the locker room. Getting rid of him will make a lot players sour. Stop playing and pay him what he want.
I say don't do shit with his contract till after this season and if you give him a contract them I wouldn't go over 20mill 2yrs and that's if he balls out this year .
Kamara's problem are the oline and the former oc. better line, better oc and he's headed to the hall. If the line is better this year and they don't try to run him between the tackles all game every game he'll look the old alvin.
I said it before & I’ll say it again, if given a choice, Matt would prefer the Saints be the worst team in the NFL in 2024, if it means they blow everything up & fire everyone, than the Saints win the the Superbowl for the 2024 season and continue on with DA & DC for at least the next 5 years.
What’s important about this hypothetical choice is, if reveals, some people are willing to pass up on guaranteed actual success for a year, on the hope that their ideological belief will deliver multiple years of success, when that blow it up & draft a QB strategy has failed as much if not more than any other strategy attempted. But for some reason, people have absolutely convinced themselves that it provides a better chance of success, with ZERO data to back up that belief. For some reason, they just believe it, I’m not sure why? I’m having trouble thinking of a single Superbowl champion, this millennium who’s success was based on that strategy? Tom Brady’s 7 & Mahomes 3 Superbowls didn’t use that strategy, so there’s 10 of 24 superbowls accounted for.
I disagree. He wants The Organization to really get players who show up and show out, ballers at high levels that actually want to win at their projected output.
@@wyldcard7 What does that actually mean? It’s a lot of buzz words, that have a very subjective evaluation. Meaning, no matter how well Derek Carr plays, you can say he isn’t what you typed, because that’s how you feel about him.
Trade him after the season. If he holds out and doesn’t play, he gets fined and could lose pay. He will eventually come back this season or risk losing millions this season and future contracts!!
We had one of the worst offensive line for years. A line that couldn’t creat space for a rb now we’re putting it on Kamala. It’s all bs and we all know it.
Trade him asap never lived up to expectations yes good but not great better as a pass catcher than a running back the kid from tcu is going do ok get what we can build for future
Da is so dumb. He probably do something ridiculous and hurt the team and I like Alvin kamara. I am a huge fan. I want him to stay in New Orleans but not at that cost
AK went from being a player to being a product. It's about getting the best deal and securing his future and not being the best RB1 in the league or the best teammate. He doesn't have the teams best interest in mind and teams sees that so he won't get much.
@@justinbigjaydadrummajackso6672Exactly its context to his drop in production we all know the weapon he is with good play calling and good offensive line play some Saints fans are so near sighted and prisoners of the moment they hate DA and the coaching and then say its the players fault FOH!
Wants to retire a saint? Give him mid tier money guaranteed until retirement. No kicking the can and overpaying. MUST BE TEAM FRIENDLY or we gotta cut cap liabilities
To let Alvin kamara go thinking he’s declining when the offense has been ass the last few years is just stupid
Exactly!!!! Mfs want this dude to put up crazy stats.... there isn't one RB that would have done good behind this line the last 2 3 seasons.
its crazy its some so called saints fans in here that thinks he’s declining but like you just said and i fully agree this OL the last few years has been garbage asf, you can put CMC behind the saints OL and he wont even be close to the stats he has on the 9er’s
.
The O line and Pete has been horrible the past few seasons. Tell me which RB will have success with that?
I’ll wait.
Exactly
This.
Ok, that bad OL lost both of it's starting tackles. If no RB can thrive under those conditions, why would AK?
Exactly so no point in keeping him around
Well said! I couldn't agree more let him go out and perform and then Saints can make a decision after the season. Saints can't keep operating like the past kicking the can has completely hurt this organization long term.
Matt a undercover Falcons Fan
Yeah, i think he hates his job. Dude seems miserable
Naw I agree with what he has to say. He actually has a formula for us to win sooner than all the things we are doing.
Really? Cmon man. Matt has great takes 90% of the time imo

Shouldn't have signed Carr then

He's not declining

He's not declining, he was mismanaged.
Pay him, mid tier or lower top tier. I don't care. Get that man on the field asap.
Agreed
You said AK is not even a top 10 RB right now in the league. So please name 10 RBS better than him right now?
Facts! Fans need to look at this objectively.
It's been fun AK. Good luck in Denver.

Duce was electric! First time i saw him he took a kickoff back for a TD and had 10 carries for like 115 in his first preseason game..My favorite player
Did he decline the last three seasons or was he mismanaged in a bad offense?
I hate to hear this guy speak I swear
I agree we should have paid Trey Hendrickson but idk about Marcus Williams he has battled more injuries with the Ravens than he ever did with us.
Now it made since at the time to pay Michael Thomas although in hindsight it looks awful.

Kendre Miller needs to step up this season. If not we draft someone else. I love AK as a player but idk bro
You don’t know what?
Miller is fools gold ... you don't talk you just go and do it
@@kevinmckay2483 idk if I’d want to give him another contract
@@michaelcdarby you’d be crazy.
Side by side action Kendra miller wasn’t half the player AK is
@@kevinmckay2483 I agree. But since AK is about to be 30 I just don’t know if I’d want to give him another multi year deal
We just gave a contract to Cam Jordan why not AK he can still be a highly productive slot WR
He can still be highly effective at rb just needed better line play and play calling
Give AK 10-12 mil per year for a 2 year deal.
Give, he's earned much more considering the sloppy QB play
@MosheGoldbergTheKingyes delulu
Kamara hasn't had a fair last 3 years. He was the only good player on the offense and now he has a chance to be used as a dynamic back again and people say he is asking too much

Marcus Williams should have been cut after that missed tackle ..."Minnesota Miracle" that was a great decision getting rid of him.
Marcus Williams is still a top 10 safety in the NFL. I was fine not paying him but let's not act like he's not a great player
@@WhoDatBoy9 injury riddled the last 2 years. Started 21 of a possible 34 games the last 2 seasons. Saints got rid of him at the right time
@Insert.Name.Here. I agree w you. But when Marcus is on the field he's still an elite safety. Alvin hasn't produced like a top 10 RB in 3 years
We wouldn't have a team if it was based on mistakes. He's better than what we have now.
Like Brees should have been cut for throwing an INT and fumbling in the playoffs vs the Vikings ...
Let’s be real… Saints paying T.Hill $10M at 33 years old… The contract is on the McCaffery’s in Carolina… who the 49ers just extended… Saints are gonna crash… $84M in the 25’ cap…
I think this is the first video in a long time that I really think what you said makes sense and you’re right on it most your videos you’re not but this time you’re right so I’m giving you where you deserve them
The fucking offense line has been horrible what you want me to do
Let him go. Kendra Miller is ready!
I TOTALLY agree with Matt!
He’s killin the game today killin tha boyz cowboyz lookin bad but i agree and some of this makes sense he had his head in the game
So Matt this new offensive scheme involves a lot of AK just like CMC on 49ers. The Saints can’t afford for AK not to play.
These bots are funny. Stop pocket watching
Man let’s be y’all the offensive line was trash and a bad offensive coordinator
I’d love for Alvin to retire with Us… however… not at 25milly
Kamara should not be making over 6-9 million a year that’s what his recent production and availability says.
6 mil is a low ball. From what I’ve seen he deserves 10-12 mil
His production has nothing to do with his play ... faulty QBs was the main reason why the Saints offense sputtered. AK has never carried the ball 200+ times but had too because of bad play-calling and a QB who chose not to follow his progressions.

I hate this man’s takes
Me too, especially in this situation
Can't keep paying declining players, 2 many good young players got away having great success.
Saying Kamara is declining and then in the same breath say we have a crappy o line is insane to me
I'm sad you didn't mention Pierre Thomas...lmao
Or Darren Sproles who still holds the single-season all purpose yards and he gave Alvin Kamara the title of most explosive I beg to differ
Or AK can just chose to not play this year at all until he’s paid. And watch this new offense struggle without him
When players start asking for restructuring, they’re at their version of, The Wall..
Cant wait for AK to help me win some parlays this season
I say don't do shit with his contract till after this season and if you give him a contract them I wouldn't go over 20mill 2yrs and that's if he balls out this year .
AK Saint for life
Nothing better out there /AK is still top tier, Pete screwed him
Injury issues? The saints must be paying you. Kamara is a beast pay him market value!
The saints could of signed Barkley's this off season if it wasn't for AKs contract. I don't see AK getting more than 10 million anywhere else.
Why would we want Barkley
They should cut Carr he not good at all
LET THA CHURCH SAY .... AMEN!!!
