Signing Fleener and releasing Spiller, another two awful decisions by Payton. |

Re: Game Day: New Orleans Saints @ New York G'nats
Releasing Spiller was the ONLY option.

Re: Game Day: New Orleans Saints @ New York G'nats
Spiller's weakness is that he struggles catching the ball out of the backfield. That has always been the book on him. The mistake was picking him up and trying to turn him into a Reggie Bush or a Darren Sproles.

Re: Game Day: New Orleans Saints @ New York G'nats
Spiller was a starter and Cadet has never been more than a spot player. As a starter you are going to have chances. But, Spiller in his SIX years had only one season with more than 269 yards receiving. Both Bush and Sproles averaged over 700 yards every season. He also has never had more than two receiving TD's in a season. Much inferior in the passing game.

You don't give that guy the contract they gave him if you don't think he brings something to the table. Even if we accept your opinion, you are admitting either way that they made a mistake. They either shouldn't have signed him or shouldn't have cut him. But... I thought we weren't allowed to say they made a mistake? |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
