Deuce has been a team player, community leader, and remarkable player; but even so, a NFL RB, especially with the injuries he's sustained, can perform at an effective level so far; bad luck, yeah, but so happened to Archie as well, that doesn't mean I don't love the guy for what he's done for Saints Fans and New Orleans as well...

The soap box is breaking under the weight of my fat ass, so I'll get off now...don't confuse objectivity with passion...

Good speech. Corrections are needed though. Archie was screwed over in the Houston deal. He took a pounding there too. Yes Mecon does have a special place in hell for this one. Pitch fork testing dummy.

Duce is and always will be a measuring stick for New Orleans RB and a quality person on and off the field.

But remember one thing it is never a bad deal to have too many many good RB. You can always trade one. As for the pick at #10 I am not solid on him and the contract he would get.
