RUMOR: Saints Targeting Illinois RB Rashard Mendenhall?

Whats crazy is Pierre is the same size (5'11) and only 14 pounds lighter than Mendenhall.. Pierre also has much more impressive stats at Illinois..

Did you know, PT is the first Saints player to gain over 100 yards both rushing and receiving in the same game..

If Deuce is smart, he will be retiring on April 15. That means that our #1 priority will be replacing him.

I still like Pierre Thomas, he need to get more touches.

I think Deuce's contract will be restructured by April 15. If we look to the draft, Matt Forte would be the guy I would think they would look at.

I got bashed for mentioning Deuce is not the same Running Back; and now what?!?

Man, he sure would make a great tight end at this stage of his career, if he still wanted to play ball; devastating blocker and he'd be All-World starting eight yard downfield running among those DB's...Sha-Wee!

I guess I may be the only one on this board that still has faith in Deuce. I still believe he can come back and be a great back. I would rather keep Deuce and Reggie in the backfield and use PT as #3 or even put him in the same backfield as Deuce sometimes, maybe spell Reggie too.

I guess I'm too loyal to McAllsiter.

No, you're not the only one. I still have faith in him too. He'll be here next season, right after he restructures.

Errr... Pierre Thomas... Do I win anything?

What a difference a year makes in college.
