depends on what you look for in a back

health?.....work load?.......consistancy?....blocking? if those are 4 of the top things you look for then PT isnt the guy

if you look for a guy who can catch screens and break tackles then sure

but i can think of a few guys right off the top of my head that are better than PT and if i actually was forced im sure i could come up with more

PT is talented as he proved to me this season....however, he is not a top back in this league and shouldnt be paid like one unless he is trying to inflate the market

Blocking- He's very good. No complaints.

Health-How many games has he missed? He's healthier than any RB we've had in 10 years. He's missed 3 freaking games in 3 years.

Consistency-As consistent as any top 10 RB

Workload-We don't know yet, the only legit complaint you have.

C'mon Canton, you gotta do better than that. We all know you didn't like him last year, and he proved you wrong. Do you wanna be proved wrong again?

Name 5 RB's better than Pierre Thomas.

chris johnson, AP, steven jackson, deangello williams, thomas jones, ladanian tomlinson, maurice jones drew, ray rice, cedric benson, jonathan stewart, ronnie brown, michael turner, marion barber, frank gore......heck even people were starting to believe that PT wasnt even the best RB on our team when mike bell filled in and led the team in rushing over the majority of the season

the problem you have is that you love the saints so much that it clouds your picture of reality

PT showed me that he was a good back....he didnt prove me wrong because i didnt say he was terrible.....all i said was that i needed to see more of him.....he showed me that he can carry the rock and he does it well

however, to say that he deserves top 10 money.....even top 15 to 20 money is probably stretching it

there are some RBs that have to share the backfield with another guy....and both of them are better than PT

Bingo! Great Points. PT is good. Making great plays and being a great back are 2 different things!!

jonathan stewart, Yep, you're kidding
ronnie brown, maybe
michael turner, LOL!
marion barber, Equal
frank gore, maybe
Pretty good list, but I disagree with about 1/2 of it. Especially when you consider all the skills you originally listed.
