this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Shanle can already see the writing on the wall. He's been inactive for eight of the last nine games, despite being fully healthy. Time to say Good Bye. Thanks Scott ! Good luck in the future....

He was paid 4 million over the last 2 years to produce.... never produced.
He had no bigger role in the Super Bowl winning than did the water boys. As far as for how bad our line backers were before Shanle. Jackson, Mills, Swilling.... |

Re: Scott Shanle's positive memories with New Orleans Saints will outweigh 'difficult' 2012 season
Maybe. I'm sure it could be debated. Me personally, I have never liked him. He was always slow and he could never cover and he could never shed a block. His tackling was always meh.
Stats don't always tell the story but in Shanle's case it does. He hasn't done anything noteworthy. A lot of fans fall in love with players. I don't understand the love for this guy. It's not like he ever did anything great and is just declining as he gets older. You can go back and find thread after thread 8+ pages on Hartley and most are ready to send him away. Will we see this same kind of thread for him? At least he did actually contribute. |

hate the guy on the field... absolutely awful player because he wasn't athletic enough. I do think he was one of the most classy players we had and actually would like to see him as a coach. He always seemed to be a smart player but couldn't translate it to being great on the field.

Hey at least he kept somebody even worse off the field.

His best years with the Saints were coming in as a backup behind Scott Fujita, thats where he made his mark, he's not a starter in this league.... They had no one better on or off the field, now that is not the case.
