As far as Reggie goes, as a "featured" back, in a West Coast system, I can remember many great offensive teams, that had exceptional RBs, doing basically the same things as Reggie only better. Marshall Faulk, Brian Westbrook, hell even Julius Jones when he was in Dallas, all had similar job descriptions, but ALL have had better success than Reggie. What I'm saying is that he doesn't deserve this payday. And as far as PT goes, well, I think we all remember that touchdown he scored in the superbowl.... I can't remember the one Reggie scored off hand.....
No argument from me about Brees...or Pt, for that matter. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Reggie was part of the greatest gumbo recipe ever for Saints fans. He was kinda like the shrimp. Drew was the rue...PT the crab meat...Colston was the okra...etc. You get what I'm driving at, right?

You see, I don't care how much Reggie makes. I believe that he brings a certain "star" quality to a team that never had one before. I admit that he has had a little trouble living-up to it, but then I remember some of his highlights and realize he has done things that no Saint has ever done before. He just doesn't do them every play like some people expect him to do.

In closing I reiterate. I'm happy with exactly what happened and don't care how much they make or made in the past or will in the future. I'm just happy Reggie is a Saint...and that's mostly the topic (or what it veered to...I hope that wasn't my fault...lol) and why I didn't comment on the others.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!
