Thanks Stinch!!!
 

I have followed you since your days at Georgia. You didn't always get the love on this board, but you were a true Saint. You were the leader of that offensive line and a leader in the clubhouse. You never turned a fan away, especially a young fan. You took the time out to laugh and talk with everyone.

The work you put in to be a pro player will go unnoticed by a lot of fans. Because, in this profession, it is what have you done for me lately. A lot of fans think you will land somewhere else and have even wished you the best of luck. But, I bet you will go on to another chapter of your life and be just a successful there.

Best of luck BIG STINCH.

I'll second that. Hell of a classy, nice guy and will always be one of my favorite Saints.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if somebody picks him up. When healthy, he's too good not to be on a roster.

I was definitely tired of his poor performance on the field, but I definitely echo the sentiment that he was a great character guy and I definitely appreciate what he did for is in his 2009 pro bowl season.

Thank You Johnny !!! will see you down the road.

He has dropped off lately, but I still don't want to see him in the NFC south.

thanks stinch for provoking many a fight between me and Canton.

Class guy and class player. Wish him the best of luck going forward.

Wonder what this does to our tendency to run the screen to Pierre to the right side behind Evans and Stinch. Do we now run it to the left behind Nicks and Bushrod? Or do we keep right behind Evans and whoever is playing RT?

I approve of this thread. He took a lot of grief considering he helped us win a Super Bowl and got to the Pro Bowl. He certainly declined last year and in camp this year, but always thought he got trashed more than he deserved. Seems like a great guy who played on the best teams this franchise has ever seen. Best of luck Stinch.

You earned my respect. Too bad injuries and time caught up. Best of luck man.:bng:

Thanks Stinch!!!

Ditto!
Thanks for the Lombardi and enjoy the ring...you earned it!

Thank you Stinchcomb! Good luck in the times to come!

Way to go man!!

Decent? Don't let the hate cloud your judgment... dude was a very good lineman. Not an all-time great or anything, but saying he was decent says to me that you didn't pay close attention to him.

Mr Magic back again. He's not a Saints fan he's just here to sir the pot. Mr Magic.

In 2008 he only allowed 1.5 sacks in the whole season, in 2009 he only allowed 3 (including playoffs and super bowl)

35 games giving up only 4.5 sacks from the RT? That is incredible.

So he tailed off last year but previous to that he had some outstanding seasons so for me more than decent. Plus he was plagued by injury last year so fair play to him that he didn't moan about it to the media and use it as an excuse.

Great lockerroom man and leader as well so very sad to see him go.

I can see him coming back this season when he heals if the Saints have an injury.
