Pierre Thomas Fan

WillMacKenzie · 08-25-2007, 12:18 PM

My vote is cast on Pierre Thomas and Dudley (fullback).

I won't question Payton, that isn't my place.

But if Thomas turns to gold when he leaves, and Mike Karney goes down with an injury and we're scrambling for a fullback...

It'd be almost like the Haslett regime.

Pierre Thomas had a very nice game. I was enjoying it like I was watching a "real" game...But it wasn't real. It was a Pre-Season game against katz who i'll be tryna buy insurance from in 2 weeks.

But with that bein said...I really like the kat. All of our RB's and WR's are nice. Thomas is cheaper and maybe a lil better than Stecker...but if 26 goes down, and we have to play somebody i'd rather have a back to protect Drew Brees vs a back wit a lil more speed. I wish we can keep em all...But since we tryna WIN A SUPERBOWL...Keep the veteran for insurance purposes.

But it really don't matter, because if any RB has to play besides 25, 26...we are in a lil trouble anyway.

NO MATTER WHO THEY KEEP. NO MATTER HOW OUR OPINIONS DIFFER...WE GON' ROOT FOR THEM THE SAME...CAUSE WE ALL BLEED "BLACK AND GOLD"!

who dat

And sure as hell, he will. If we cut this guy, he'll come back to haunt us.

We need Stecker for Special teams and Thomas has earned a spot. Looks like we wasted a draft pick on Pittman, his blitz pickup sucks and he hsn't shown anything. pittman goes

Here's a thought. Since it's pretty sure that the starters won't play much ,if any) next week against Miami. What if Pierre has a great game? Is he a keeper then? Could you make a spot for him on special teams? What if outplays Pittman? Do you cut Pittman? Something to think about.

I say Stecker goes.

Realistically, how many years does he have left?

I say we go with a youth movement, and at least they'll be developed by the time their time comes. And THEN imagine how dangerous 3-4 young talented running backs would be?

Stecker may be o.k. NOW, but we need to keep Thomas and maybe Pittman to help them develop. Stecker goes.

Maybe Sean feels he already knows what Stecker can do, but last week Aaron had 1 catch for 19 yards, 0 carries, and 0 special teams tackles
