Ive never understood why people like Reggie. He could not stay on the feild, was more of a liability than a threat, and was surrounded by too many distractions. Plus he ate up a ton of money that could have been spent elswhere. I don't hate the guy, I have always been just indifferent. He would have been fine if he was playing at the league minimum, which he deserves, but a player that made as much money as he did should be held accountable.

^ listen to the voice of reason, people.

+1

I always appreciated what reggie gave to us. Was he perfect? Of course not. Who among you are? Lets see THAT list.

People have expectations. Thing is, they have them from their COUCH.
Potato(e)s aren't just chips.

Yes; if nothing else, we're going to see who is at fault with all the injuries. At one time last year, ALL FOUR of our starting backs were injured and on the sidelines. Chris Ivory finished a game on the field and was then listed as injured and unable to play the following day. What did he do? Fall in the shower or what? If Reggie gets all the carries that the fish seem to think and plays the whole year uninjured, it will be an indictment against our training staff.

You bring up a good point...

Already, since the Ivory hernia sx, several reporters have said in their video logs that they may have to ask Coach Payton about the recurrence of certain injuries; one such example is the sports hernia; I believe so far Vilma, Smith, Stinchcomb, Greer, Henderson, Ivory; as well as former players Shockey, Young and Brown...

It isn't hating on Reggie because we think Sproles will be a better and more effective player for us.

Because for the last 3 or 4 years we've heard from Reggie worshippers how awesome he was and how he's a match-up nightmare keeping DC's awake for night after night and how he draws triple coverage every time he steps on the field and how we score 14 more points per game when he's on the field versus not.

And we heard from the Reggitarians and how anyone who criticizes any aspect of the great one's game is a Reggie hater or a "downer".

If he was as freaking awesome as the Bushies proclaimed, little Darren Sproles couldn't even hold his jock on gameday.

I'd imagine thats why it may be a topic of discussion, or perhaps since he's gone the blind obsession with Reggie is becoming obvious to those guilty of it.
