Looks like Spiller will be back

44Champs · 02-18-2016, 05:18 PM

So now we're admitting that he was never fully healthy. Loomis and Payton sound like they want to give him another shot next year. Hope theyre right because I was excited when we signed him on.

New Orleans Saints will see 'real C.J. Spiller' in 2016, Mickey Loomis says | NOLA.com

We don't need him really. Are they really expecting him to make big plays with just 10 touches a game?

I think they know more than "we" do.

Clearly. As evidenced by the numerous "brilliant" moves they've been making. I love when people just say "they know more than us". Just because they have a job in something that we aren't doing, that does not make them smart. Evaluating talent does not take a genius. It takes having eyes. I'd love to see Spiller work out, personally, and have not given up on him. But just saying they know better than us, isn't adding anything to the thread.

The fact is that they do know FAR and away more than any of us. We do not have access to practices, film, medical records, financial details, personal conversations, etc. While as you pointed out, all we have is our eyes watching limited play and reading tripe from writers that know little more than us. Opinions are fine, but any implication that they don't know what they are doing is ridiculous.

I don't know if you've noticed, but it's the year 2016 now. There isn't much that ISN'T videotaped for us to see. But why go on youtube and watch video when you can watch all of the live telecasts that are available to us in this age? So you're telling me that what happens in practice, that I might not see, is completely different from what is happening on the field?

You seem hell bent on convincing yourself that we're all a bunch of morons, as fans. Do you get a kick out of someone telling you you're dumb or something? This is not rocket science, it's football. Who cares that they have medical records and we don't? Did they not have medical records of Jairus Byrd before giving him over 50 million dollars?

You're not helping your case with that one. You can have access to everything the world can give you, and it makes no difference if you don't know what to do with it. I'm calling out Mickey Loomis, as I simply think he's a lackluster GM. People get fired in this business all the time. So unless you have a better defense for him other than saying he's paid to do it, and we're not, then I will stand by my statements.

You know how payton likes to have that reggie bush or darren sproles type of running back in his arsenal. None of the othe rb's on the roster fit that mold. I have a feeling either hightower or robinson will be gone.

I think Hightower and PRob are both free agents already. Could be wrong about PRob.

I know you meant KRob but theyre both still on our roster. That other guy that was returning kickoffs - can't remember his name - might be a casualty as well

On March 9th Hightower will be a UFA and KRob will be a RFA. It's possible we lose both.
