Same argument as always. So I'll bite.

What makes you think that Deuce was the reason that we lost games?

Let's not forget that Deuce played in 3 games last year before he was injured. Stats: 24 carries for 92 yards. The team went 0-3.

Certainly not burning up the world there.

All the Saints need is an effective running game to complement the passing offense. Deuce's value was getting the tough 4 yards when necessary. There's no proof that Deuce, PT23, or even Bush cannot handle that load.

What the Saints needed last year is what every NFL team needs: a decent defense that won't let the game get away from them.

We don't need Deuce to win games. We need a decent defense, an efficient running game, and an upright Brees spraying the ball all over the place without a ton of picks.

Do those three things and the Saints will do well in 2008.
