Question Was Deuce's best years wasted by Haslett

I sincerely hope Deuce will be back to the form of 2002/2003 next year but that may be hoping for too much IMHO. He was already on the decline even before this season began. Which leads me to my next point: Was Deuce's best years wasted by an incompetent HC and a mediocre staff like Venturi and others who did not do their fair share? At one time Deuce was a MVP caliber player who could do anything at anytime but his teammates did not do as much to help out? We had a chaos reigns HC who was at best fighting to keep his team afloat and make his exit in 2005? I also see Reggie as the best example of this. I dont want him to end up like Deuce did? End up with a broken body and a career haunted by what ifs?
What if Deuce's teammates had tried harder and had put as much determination as he did for all those many years and contributed much more?
We have a much better team then we did under Haslett and probably a more aggressive type of play calling in Sean Payton. I think Bush can learn from where Deuce's mistakes led him.

Because Deuce deserved a better career then the one he got. He had so many good years and this team always found a way to keep itself at one decibel below, it never ever went to the next level. We only went so far and that hurts beyond belief. And yes I do hate Haslett for it. He had some great potential but he blew it with his stubbornness and blind loyalty to the wrong people. WE had Micheal Lewis, Sammy Knight, La rio Glover, Joe Johnson, and lastly Deuce that this team extremely misused and did not do what they could have done and maximize their potential too.
