You mean they feel Reggie can carry the load or for what he does is worth the salary? Steve Slaton has already almost gone pass all the career marks(aside from receiving yards) for Reggie and he didn't even start all year.
Do feel sorry for the fans about Deuce.
first, my thoughts on Bush are well established on these boards. I'm far from a blind Bush homer and have expressed my reservations about his health and disappointment in his performance when it comes to consistency. So I'm not going to recap them here because....
second, this is a thread about people who are released. Bush has not been. Deuce has. I'm not going to disrespect Deuce by dragging Bush into an argument that has nothing to do with him and is only here because....
third, there are Texan fans who turn any possible Saints-related or Mario-related or Slaton-related or VY-related thread into a Bush bashing thread. if that's what you'd like to do then there are countless threads you can bump and pile on.
This isn't that thread.
So I won't indulge your non-sequitur because I don't want this thread to get derailed.
Deuce is a Saints legend and lots of hearts are breaking today.
Including mine.
Watching him work hard for a team - never quitting - was something my Dad compared him to Earl Campbell. He wasn't saying that the two were comparable runners - Earl is, imo, in a class with only a handful of NFL RBs. Rather, he meant a RB that embodied a city, a franchise, and a work ethic that will be hard to match.
Thanks for the memories Deuce.
