Pierre Thomas is the Saints best back & a true fan favorite

I hate these articles. PT may put up better fantasy football numbers, but Reggie is an absolute nightmare for every defense we face. They're both good, no reason to say Pierre is worth more, that guy must not understand the game.

If Reggie is a nightmare for defenses to face, what is Pierre? Isn't he just as effective? Can't he do all the things Reggie does, plus more?

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.
