I know that it's not based on any sort of fact, but the result would be so horrific that I couldn't stomach it. So, while every rational part of me realizes that it's baseless, the "look out for the worst case scenario" part of my brain is considering the implications.
A guy knows a guy who is tight with Wilkerson (I know, I know). Apparently, Wilkerson said "don't be surprised if Deuce is not part of the Saints organization after the draft, or at the longest, after this season."
Now, I know that a million different scenarios are possible as to how this was said. 99.999% chance this is pure poppycock.
But I don't even want to consider this. Sure, I trust Sean Payton implicitly, but this is the one move he could do that would destroy my trust in him. I don't want to consider this team without Deuce.
I guess if you look back on last season, you could see times where Sean Payton didn't seem to understand how effective Deuce is, based on how often he was used, etc. Like most people, I chalked it up to Deuce coming off of surgery, etc.
Everything Payton has ever said about Deuce has been favorable, glowing stuff. My instinct is to summarily dismiss this ridiculous bit of gossip.
But, man, it would suck so bad that I can't make myself stop thinking about it.
Somebody tell me it's ridiculous. Reinforce my skepticism.
