Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush stats through first 47 game

Before I write down these stats, let me emphasize that this is pure "food for thought" and just some interesting stats that may give a better perspective of what kind of player the New Orleans Saints have on their team. Deuce McAllister was the best Saints running back in its history, and what he has done in his 8 seasons should be emulated by all future running backs. He's the all-time Saints scoring leader, and his loyalty and passion for the game was always visible and never questioned. We currently have a player who is contributing almost as much as Deuce did in his first 47 games, yet "fans" are asking for a trade/release/etc. The way I see it, if you put on that fleur-de-lis helmet and contribute to this team winning games, you are alright in my book.

-Deuce and Reggie both had 26 TDs on the ground and in the air, but Reggie tacked on 4 more TDs by punt return for a total of 30.

-I'm actually surprised to see Deuce's rec avg to be higher than Reggie's.

Take from this what you will.
