I really don't agree with your opinion on this, i think PT was one of top players on this team driving us to the Super and his play resulted in helping us win it all.
He's played hard all season, i don't think we should slave the man through his pennies on the dollar contract any longer, he should be getting paid like the top back he is..

Im on board with us paying him his worth, i don't want us going into the season as a bunch of cheap scapes, scammers and slave drivers after giving the fans what we've wanted out of this team for 43 years.

He did very well in 2008 as well, so that's 2 years in a row.

And the "not top 5 or top 10", other than Drew Brees (because he touches the ball every time) no one in the offense amasses that many total yards to be labeled "top 5 or top 10", but that has nothing to do with players' abilities, it has more to do with the way Brees distributes the ball and the offense Payton calls.

Now, you don't know whether other teams have asked about him.

Pierre was a very good RB in year, 1, 2, 3, and 4, and you want another
year?

It's not Pierre's fault his talent was not recognized in years 1-3. I hope they
pay the man, or let him go to where he is appreciated. I hope it works out,
because I don't think the Saints will be be the same team without Pierre.

Hey Bo,

I'll give you he was good in year 3. Definitely not year 1, average year 2 and year 4 hasn't been played yet. Sorry still not convinced. The Saints style offense allows players the luxury of being 1 of 6 or 7 targets on every play. Defenses can't key on one or two players and that's why the offense is so good. Pierre is a product of the team not the other way around. Pierre would definitely not be as good in another system. That;s just my opinion.

PT has earned a substantial pay raise.

Thats the way you send a message pierre, you have earned a pay rise with your play, but your unselfishness speaks volumes. Some NFL players could definetley learn afew lessons from your attitude.

gotta love pierre thomas!!!

Pierre sets a great example. Hey guys, pay attention! THIS is how you're supposed to conduct business.

Props to you PT!
