We don't have what it takes to be that team and Brees is certainly not that type of character(don't get me started on Wilson). We have to play defense a prideful way.

Reggie Bush was a pretty big factor that season, the defense had to account for him just like they did Sproles.

With Drew at QB defenses have to account for everyone.

But we had a Defense, and Bush. Way better than Cadet

I think this shows we may need to move on from Colston.

We need to move on from Colston about as much as we need to move on from Brees.

Losing Colston would leave the WR group with absolutely no leadership, and we all saw how well that worked out for the DBs last year.

Colston is a class act. And at the right price, he's still valuable to the club.

I wouldn't cut him.

Come home Reggie Bush.

Definitely need a dislike button, no thank you for Bush.

Not sure that Sproles would have helped. Lack of protection for Brees was one of the biggest factors. In his last season with us, teams had figured out our Sproles plays.

I wonder what led to all the passes he dropped and the fumbles he committed?
