I LOVED this move, then I remembered that the Saints and the Bucs play twice a year and I hated this move!

:wow: What a great move by N.O.

Oh, and the crying you are now hearing is from all those owners of P.T. and Ivory that hoped they would at least get some when Ingram isn't in. :nod:

As the Sproles owner in Hired Guns I couldn't be happier!!! :trampolin:erfect10:

Great real football move by the Saints, but I think Sproles fantasy value takes a bit of a hit. He'll probably get the return duties but I don't see him replicating Bush's receptions nor do I see him getting nearly as many change of pace carries as were available in San Diego. PT is the better change up to Ingram, has great hands, and just signed a big deal. Chris Ivory will still be in the mix as well. Really the N.O backfield is pretty scary fantasy wise all around.

I think the little sh!t has bigger balls than Bush and will replicate his avg. yardage numbers over the years but won't be gameplanned at the endzone like Bush was in his heyday. Sproles should be big, change of pace wise between the 10's but not see goaline carries (inside the 5) at all.

Sproles is much toughter than Reggie Bush.

 

[chrisslabaugh]

I don't doubt how much tougher Sproles is then Bush. What I do doubt is the availablility of touches.

Sean Payton is convinced he has the most gray matter in any room he walks into. He will game plan the hell out of Sproles to prove it. I knew something was up the minute Bush signed with Miami and Payton strolls out to a mic in New Orleans to say "Reggie is a huge loss and we wish him well, but we don't plan on changing a single thing in the way we gameplan or run our offense." I bet Sproles equals Reggies avg touches per game. Everytime I watch Sproles on TV he just seems to me cutting and moving at a speed that scares opposing defenders to death. You can almost hear "get him".

Bush is tougher, he just has bad knees.

 

[RZR]

Bucs played the Chargers often enough that I'm used him running all over me.

Sproles has carried a team when needed, Bush could not. I don't understand this statement at all.
