Shaun Alexander Cut
 
where does he end up?

i don't think the saints will or should bring him in, but it is an interesting thought.

the thought crossed my mind as i watched it scroll accross the bottom of ESPN news....but the quickly faded when i realized that if he's too hurt to play in seattle we arent going to want him....thats like bringing back duece after we ripped his leg to shreds...AGAIN

haha even tho i think ur joking....i believe he falls under the Tiki Barber category.....one of the better backs during the past few years but didnt have the elite career that is needed to be a hall of famer....he should've retired last season and now i think if someone picks him up...it will be as a backup and maybe a 3rd down back

No way we should pick him up. Credit due, you dont win rushing titles and break records without being a helluva player. But he also benefited from a system built around him and also having two of the best lineman and one of the best FBs in the league blocking in front of him (Jones, Hutch, Strong). No need for him here.

Indeed and there is one extreme similarity...Steve Hutchinson...takes my vote as the best lineman in the league and worth every penny they paid him

Definetly gotta give the blockers credit (not only at lineman and fullback but at the receiver position). I to this day refuse to recognize the Denver RBs as great players (you can make the argument for Terrell Davis and Portis) but Olandis Gary and Mike Anderson do not run for 1,000 plus yard seasons without a phenomenal job by the blockers and system that is extremely conducive to RBs

ah...best at his position on the line maybe....debatable...its hard to go against all the great lineman in the league right now....obviously hutchinson....but what about matt light?....what about allen faneca?....there are a few i would put above hutchinson but definitly would want him as a saint lol....i love good lineman....they literally make a whole team better

Faneca in his prime is better. Not right now though. I used to have a mancrush on LeCharles before he went away. I still hope he can get over his injuries to play some. He was a beast at OG and still good at C. I rememer watching him play and the whistle blew and he would always still puch or hit or something.
