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. |

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 |
