LMAO!

One Billion Dollars Mr. SmashMouth... and that also the price to shut me up (outside of banning me lol)

Don't you love a good villan? LOL

Realalistically, I certainly would be happy with LB, DT or CB in round 1. I've just decided to make a case for RB on the forum because few people are. Also, I don't think we need another backup RB although I think the case for a true #1 is certainly valid.

Hey foreverfan, have you completely given up all hope of Reggie becoming a #1 feature type back? I agree with you that Deuce is no longer a #1 and Stecker never has been and never will be but I still have hope that Reggie can mature into that role.

with or without deuce i still wouldn't take RB at 10
Pierre is a large part of the reasoning

phatoosdey · 03-16-2008, 02:37 PM

or we could pick up Mendenhall at 10...have PT beat him out in camp...and pay a first round to backup undrafted PT

I'm betting Pierre is THE REAL DEAL !!!

I think Pierre Thomas has at least earned the right to the oppurtunity to start. Drafting a RB in the first round of a draft extremely deep at the position would be a mistake in my eyes.

We'll see just how much faith the coaching staff and FO have in PT by the way we draft. If they are truly sold on him then I don't think we draft a RB at all or at least not on the first day. No one can predict how the draft will go but it's safe to say that we will have some very good RB prospects staring at us in the second round. With the posistion being so deep this year I think teams will pass on some good RBs thinking they can pick up one later. That means that a few RBs will drop and not be drafted as high as they would if the talent pool was more shallow. So having said all that I think that if the staff and FO have any doubts about PT they will jump on one of the solid RBs that should be on the board. If they don't then that means they are confident with their depth.

Remember one thing about PT coming out of college: 2 OCs in 3 years. His senior year a new OC was hired and the team went in a completely different direction. That hurt his stock.

Ok so where on the Saints roster do they have a TRUE #1 RB?

Duece? Not anymore. It won't happen. He should retire.
Stecker? No
Bush? Not Really
Thomas? ??????????? We all hope that the kid turns out to be the next Tony Dorsett but it isn't likely. My problem is that I don't think he can hold up the whole season and I'm sure the other Bozos are ready to carry the full load.
