Perhaps the biggest head-scratcher of all is the New Orleans Saints‘ adulterated use of running back C.J. Spiller after signing him to a four-year, $16 million contract. Why? Just why? It’s the million-dollar question. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Is there something we don’t know? Is that surgically repaired knee (minor surgery) still bothering him? Is head coach Sean Payton stuck in “La La Land?” Or do the Saints realize they don’t have the talent to accommodate Spiller? Riddle me that.
The Saints had the bright idea that they were in need of a third running back.
