can he do all the things reggie can do?

does pierre return punts?

did pierre set the record for most receptions of any rookie running back?

is pierre the best open field player we have on the team right now?

the answer to all of them is no

but if you replace the word "pierre" with the word "reggie" all of those answers become yes

Typically a number one RB doesn't return punts.

No, but Pierre did set the record for most rushing touchdowns in the Super Bowl by a Saint. I like that record better.

True, but the thing is, even though the answers are "no", the questions themselves are irrelevant.

Reggie does add an extra dimension of planning for opposing DCs, but I would much rather Pierre if we had to choose between the two.

You seem to be confusing the cake with the icing. A really good cake with no icing is much better than a pile of crap with a sweet frosty coating.

I'd take P.T. over Bush any day of the week. Better all around RB & way more heart than Bush. Did I mention that he's better after contact as well???

When was P.T. never getting hit???? I've watched P.T. break through tackles for the past few seasons for positive yardage, while I've watched Bush go down on arm tackles. You're not going to see P.T. hit the ground on arm tackles. You also won't see P.T. running backwards, which is a big plus in the NFL. Sorry people.....I've heard "this is Reggie's breakout year" since 2006 & it hasn't happened. When are you going to learn.....just because you are athletically gifted, it does not make you a football player.....that comes from heart.

seriously? do you watch Saints games??????????????????
how's the weather out there in La-La Land?

First, Reggie is the most scared, darting out of bounds RB I've ever seen in NFL history.... secondly, he goes down more easy than any other RB in history I've ever seen.... care to challenge that theory? can you think of another RB that darts out of bounds more than him? how 'bought one who goes down easier than the feather weight Bush?
