Saints fans Give Our Backs some love.

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.

    • Absolutely … watching from Colorado, man oh man it makes my heart warm knowing how much our Panthers are loved and supported back home these days. This season was a massive step in the right direction after everything since Tepper took over.   But say all you want about Tepper, but let’s be honest , he has turned a corner and has truly embraced the Panthers history and culture more so recently , and we saw it on full display in Charlotte Saturday. I’m truly so damn proud of our Panthers …. Time to buy that DB #95 jersey… love this team and our fans so damn much. Been a fan since Day 1 when I was a kid in Charlotte and to see how far we’ve come and to have faith in where we’re going in the future truly brings a smile to my face.   In a world currently full of despair and pessimism, thank you to the 2025 Carolina Panthers for giving us hope once again. Time to let Dan Morgan cook… KEEP POUNDING 🖤💙🖤💙🖤💙
    • It's been one hell of a ride this season. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed football for an entire season. There are still a lot of things that frustrate me about this team, but they somehow made it work and put together something pretty impressive. I'm still worried about us being stuck in mediocrity, but hell, that's a lot better than where we've been.    Also, hats off to the fans! What an impressive showing last night. That was the most wild it's been since the 2015 NFC Championship. The place was absolutely rocking! The fans showed up! This is one of the things that has been missing for so long. Despite the loss, I had a blast last night.
