Just giving you all some feedback on Sproles.

Thanks Bolt,
His stats are better than reggies though. All RB have bad fumbling years glad to hear it was when he was on your team,lol

all in all though if you look at reggie stats and durability vs sproles , Spoles is a definite upgrade and fumbles less, and your OL has not been near as good as ours since 2006. I think sproles will perform even better than when he was a charger, because he has better protection from the OL , better play calling for misdirection , and more weapons, so he will not be seen as the weapon he was in charger country, and will have LB's trying to cover him.
Plus spoles is still young and has only 249 attempts to reggaes 524 attempt in the NFL, so he's hardly been used, my guess is they really didn't know how to use him, but we are brilliant at using scat backs in N.O. , he will fit nicely.

but thanks for the insight.

This is wishful thinking.

If Sproles is Reggie Bush who tends to fumble a lot, I think Saints fans will turn on him soon enough.

really? which stats?

bush is number one in receptions and recieving yards among ALL running backs since he came into the league and second in recieving touchdowns.

EXACTLY! We are stacked on WR, we need a Running Back that can actually RUN the ball! This is the one good argument I have heard made in favor of Reggie over Sproles, but it STILL just proves why we will be better off with Sproles. He can RUN the ball.

I'm not sure we'll rely on Sproles running the ball all too often, as long as Ingram, Ivory, & P.T. can stay healthy
