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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
