it sucks for him, he is a 3 time pro bowler, broke records, yet he will only be remembered for his last 2 shitty seasons here

Not being in the same market as the team... what actually is the beef with SA?

He went from the pride of the organization to being released in something like 2 seasons? It's kinda mind boggling.

They paid him a fortune to be hurt on the bench. Im pretty sure thats still the main complaint was his wrist injuries the last 2 seasons.

Believe me, I have nothing against Shaun as a person. he seems like a genuinely great guy.

As a football player, he has always run like a bitch. 2005 and before, that didnt matter because he ran behind a dominant offensive line, but now that we dont have that, we need a more physical presence, someone who can break a tackle.

I really do hope he catches on with another team somewhere, maybe get a hance to break 10k

even in 05 most people still didnt like him

he does not know how to finish a run

he will take a dive rather than take a hit and get the extra yards, i cant even name the ammount of times he has pulled his hands back in on a screen pass because he wont take the hit for the yards

and the biggest thing that bugs me about him is that any time he is on the ground he will lay there with his hand sticking out waiting for somebody to come pick him up

every time, it makes me want to club baby seals

saints take sedrick ellis & tracy porter. time to grab a TE, RB, & more d-backs if you ask me.. early doucet would be cool..
