Sproles to be released by the Stains.


Recommended Posts

This move puts us on pretty close footing, offenseive wise, with the saints.

Sproles was a big-time weapon for them that I am happy no to have to game-plan for. This puts our rushing attack squarely ahead of theirs, both on the ground and out off he backfield on screens.

If we can retain Ginn, our special teams will be squarely ahead as well as Sproles was a menace in the return game.

Colston and Graham are big targets that we have always had to contend with, but Sproles added a dimension that made defending their big receivers a tougher matchup.

I think we take a big leap in being the favorites for the division as long as we have a strong draft and retain Ginn and Mitchell.

Jimmy Graham ain't happy

I guess he fails to realize they need the money to pay him...

He is the reason why they had to release Sproles, so by complaining, he's really looking like a chump. Just wait til he gets that WR tag and then they are going to be in even worse shape.

Wambulance just pulled out of the stooperdohm.

You all do realize Sproles was hurt a lot of lat season and Pierre Thomas filled in and did as good or better. This isn't such a huge blow to their offense as people think it will be.

I had sproles on my ff team last year and he did nothing.

Well, they want to trade Pierre Thomas.

This is good news because I don't think Thomas is as dangerous as Sproles. He's good but not deadly.  There were multiple times when Sproles looked unstoppable. I know he was injured last year but that was last year and not having him in our division (hopefully) is a good thing.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
