Re: Brees Gushes over C. J. Spiller; Brees compares him to Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas.
 

Completely agree with all. Last year showed that not having that Sproles type player became an issue with our offensive style and game planning. Ingram just isn't that guy as a receiver. Thomas is on the wrong side of his career now and I hope he returns as depth and a good locker room guy. But Spiller replaces that element we were missing out of the backfield and he may be a more complete package than any before him. Great FA signing and heavily under the radar by alot of the NFL media. They don't see how much that role in our offense is key.
