I'm defending Reggie from haters that simply look at stats.

If you don't show morons what he does without the ball, they just think he is an over-hyped underachiever, and are mystified that Sean Payton & Mickey Loomis would so eagerly keep Reggie for such a seemingly high & unbalanced price (if you simply factor in stats).

Yes, it's a team game. Yes, Drew Brees is the leader and our best player. Yes, people contributed away from the ball for Reggie on his TD's. If people want to spend the time editing clips of Shockey or Colston, or Meachem without the ball have at it. Not my bag.

My contention is that Reggie is not the "bit player" he's perceived to be, but rather because of his eletric hands, speed & agility, he plays as "huge role" as Brees' most lethal option, even without the ball. The defenses biting in the video clips I've linked agree with me. This would help explain to morons why Payton values him at $8 million next season. (Speaking of which, I'm glad Sean is solidly in my corner.)

Since I'm defending Reggie, if I have to "sarcastically" suggest there should be an "assists" category in order to show numbnuts that defenses are scared of Reggie without the ball, then the point is valid and not bullshite.

And in doing so, disregarding the contributions of other players with bullshite statements like "colston owes Reggie 2 TDs"

Also you go to far creating this atmosphere of over-hype. You go to far, with notions like he is triple teamed. If Reggie(or any player) is ever triple teamed it is a blown coverage.

He isn't worth $8 million a year. sorry call me a hater if you want, but he isn't worth it. For sake of keeping the team together and no offseason drama, the FO is going to pay it in an uncapped year. That said I'll bet you anything that Reggie's next contract will not be worth what his first one was.

See exactly what I am talking about. "most lethal" "huge role"

Reggie was on the field, less than half the offensive snaps. Not talking touches, talking snaps.

Roughly 41% of the offensive snaps Reggie was on the field. About 20 snaps more than PT. And PT did more with his snaps than Reggie did.

Like I said I'll bet you anything you want Reggie's next contract doesn't make him the highest paid RB in the league.

point is bullshite. As you've already admitted in this post, other players on the offense have the same effect. Pointing out Reggie's "assists" without showing me that his are better than the other players is bullshite. Without something to compare your imaginary stat to, how can you possibly know whether Reggie is a huge lethal weapon for the Saints?
