Geez, why do we have voices or fingers to type with, if we're all dumb, and all reporters are liars. I guess there's no point in being a fan. We know nothing, because we ARE nothing... Or am I reading too much into your words?

No. I think you nailed it on the head. As fans we are nothing. No "information" is reliable unless it is stamped as an official NFL transaction.

Yes, we have fingers, and eyes, and voices, and irrational thoughts. I spent ten years working in the sports media arena. In this case I know what I am talking about. There are as more idiots clacking away at computer keys and pontificating on the air percentage wise as there are fans reading their sewage.

The other was Murphy but he fumbles too much for my taste though.

He will test FA first I am sure and after last year he probably played his way out of town

Spillers main issue was the 6 inches between his ears more than anything. So till he hit the field and proves that is no longer an issue I am holding back optimism. That is the hardest injury to over come once it sets in.

I am still stumped at the contract the saints signed him for. well at least Byrd has company in the stumped club.

I think running a bunch of two back sets with spiller in there would be great for their running/screen game and open up deep throws. Spiller is bound to get hurt, so just play him as much as you can, while you can.

No need to try and prevent the inevitable.

The screen game would have worked two years ago when we didn't have Sproles or Spiller and played a schedule that struggled against it. Next year we play too many tough run defenses that can stop the screen game as well. I know SP likes to have that as part of his playcalling. But the screen game has been hurting us too often. It's a wonder that our offense only clicked all game when we didn't play tough run defenses but some people will drink the koolaid of the last month instead of breaking down how things will be. We need to be passing the ball or handing it off. None of this other cute stuff.

I didn't see a healthy Spiller in 2012 have any success against the seahawks and 49ers. He was just okay against the rams also. I also didn't see him do much anything against Oakland and San Diego two years ago.

Spiller last year, he basically ended up being almost the same exact performance stats as Pierre Thomas' last year contributing as a Saint, but for waaaaay more money than PT ever cost.

The only thing I don't like about Byrd is the health issue. I would like to see what he can do when he is 100 percent and we have to get a little pressure on the QB. our dbacks have no help on that area what so ever.

Well we will find out how good Byrd can be this year. His dead money is more than his cap hit so he is going no where.
