We are talking about Reggie, not Brooks, Right?

Come on now. Reggie; (As much as I had a Hate Love Hate relationship for the guy) was what made the Saint "Legit". Bush came in and started doing things in New Olreans and made it to where players wanted to come here. Now I'm not wanting to call him the "Saving Grace" of the Saints. But he WAS a very BIG part of it.

I wish him the best and hope Miami can be the cure he's looking for.

Reggie made the Saints "legit". What a joke. He lost the playoff
game against the Bears for us with his stupid backflip into the
endzone. Pissed them off so much they killed us. And it just
went downhill from there. More USC hype. When will people
figure out how OVERRATED that school really is?

Without coming across as a butthole....

Before Reggie was drafted all that the New Orleans Saints was being noticed for was Lossing, without a home to play in, moving to San Antonio and Katrina. After Reggie was drafted, New Orleans SuperDome SOLD OUT and has remained SOLD OUT ever since. More people were excited about him getting picked, than those who didn't.

Now,

I am in no way, nor have I ever been a Reggie Bush fanatic. Just ask around or go read some old post of my displeasure of Reggie. However, with all of the bad plays he made....I can still give credit where credit where credit is due. I'll bet you weren't cussing him when he ran three TD's back during the Vikings game a couple of years ago. Reggie is just as much of the reason we are FINALLY successful as Sean and Drew are. To blame one guy for a loss is crazy. I'll guess when Reggie made the run and the infamous "Point" you, as a Saint fan were not jumping up and down like the rest of us..right? Maybe if the rest of the offense had caught another TD, or if the defense would not have let the Bears score TD's, we might have won. That falls under the "Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda" category.

Reggie did do good things for this team. Put your personal hatred for USC aside (Yes, I have a distain for USC as well) and at least give the guy SOME credit.

I am here in "Fin" - land. Maybe I can pawn it off on someone

I just thought of something.

Do you realize what a great BACKFIELD BLOCKER Reggie was?

Honestly, I dont think PT is quite the same blocker Reggie is... and I love PT.
