I was perusing on enemy forums and came across this little tid bit.

It's Saint's fans opinions on Pat Yasinkas' report on the "Best Backs in the South."

I remember most people being confused seeing that Turner was number one, with some feeling that Patty Y. did it just to be "fair."

Anyways, I was suprised at all the love D'lo and Stewy got from the Saint's fans, and thought I'd share.

And for those of you who don't find that interesting, here's a picture of an adorable bunny.

Oh, by Panther logic Pierre Thomas is better than D-Will.

you know, your obsession with YPC

Thomas is a good back for the Saints. He benefits from playing for a team that is feared for the pass meaning that he rarely has more than 7 in the box and most times at least 1 of the seven is a safety instead of the usual 4 linemen and 3 linebackers. He is not a strong runner or that elusive. Most times he gets 3 or 4 yards before any contact.

On the opposite end, Williams and Stewart are both hampered by the fact that they routinely face 8 or 9 guys in the box. Plus Davidson has very unimaginative play calling. Honestly if Williams or Stewart played for Payton they would average 6 or 7 yards a carry.

And would have much less yards and much less carries..

The Saint's are a passing offense, and I don't think they feel the need to stack up on great RBs, as you said, Pierre fits them.

My point is-is that D'lo and Stewy are much better off here than they are there.

Running the ball straight at a team may be conventional, but it isn't "unimaginative" by any stretch.

heh. one of them claimed that they have been hearing the media praise our running backs for get this, 5 years now... go figure. didnt we just draft deangelo in 05?? and he was a backup for a few years. then he went on to say that deangelo would be a great back if he didnt have a knee injury every year. and that reggie bush is not a bust.

      At this point, I think Chubba is the odd man out. I hate that, but I think Dowdle gives us more production and big play ability.  But there is still a lot of football to play.  I think it depends on how much Dowdle will want too.

      I’ve been anti-trade when it comes to Melo, but the way this season has started, it may be time.  I love his game and he’s a cool dude, but I’m starting to think, if he’s your best player, you’re never going to win anything of significance.  Too many brain farts, too many injuries, and ultimately for as fun and entertaining as he is to watch - his game is indeed a thing of beauty - it just doesn’t translate to wins.  And that’s IF he even plays.  I think it’s time to cash out and maximize the return.  I love Melo, but I think it’s pretty clear what the ceiling is for a team where he is the best player.

      Every NFL team, college program, hell even HS has numerous "what ifs" that got derailed by injury. It's a brutal sport and half the battle is just getting lucky enough to stay healthy. Doesn't matter how durable you are and how well you take care of your body everyone is one weird hit or awkward twist away from a career derailing injury.
