re: We gave him flack..but boy was he fun at times.....

plenty of hype around this guy before he came to New Orleans, probably too much. I can't hold that against him.

I remember how a lot of people were like "Reggie who?" when Sproles started to assert himself with the Saints.

but if you look at their numbers with in their first years with the team, there isn't much difference.

Reggie 2006:

155 carries 565 yards 6 TD's
88 rec. 742 yards 2 TD's


Sproles 2011:

87 carries 603 yards 2 TD's
86 rec. 710 yards 7 TD's
