1st let me say I'm a big PT fan.

2nd I would like to be his agent. I would tell PT we wont take anythin under the average for a starting RB.

PT came to this team as an undrafted RB. He picked this team to come to with its 2 1st round RBs and recently drafted RB that the team moved up to draft. He beat out the drafted RB and earned a spot on this team. For fightin his way on this team he earned a low signing bonus and minimum contract.

PT has played his way through this contract and earned starting RB money. Ever notice they show the starting lineup before the game and it aint the people that run out for the 1st play.

Running Back rankings in NFL for 07,08,&09
Bush #36,42 & 55
PT #70, 40 & 24

I looked up running back averages for the past 3 years in 09 PT had the 6th best average in RBs with over 100 attempts.
In 08 Pt had the 5th best average( tied with A Peterson and S Slaton) in over 100 attempts.
In 07 PT had the 14th best average in RBs with over 50 attempts. He only had 52 attempts in his rookie year 4th on the depth chart.

Career Attempts Avg TDs Fum Total Yards
Bush 488 4.0 17 13 1940
PT23 328 5.1 16 2 1670

I know people dont like stats. They like to formulate total time other defense game plans superstar-speed+draft position/our overall scouting report. I know PT is lucky to be in this offense which enables him to succeed. He is the leading rusher in the #1 offense in the league the past 2 years. He also lead the league in having the least amount of plays with negative yards. Reggie is nowhere near that. Same offense 1 RB gains 1.1 more yards per rushing attempt over 3 years. I think PT should at least earn 1/2 of what the STARTER earns.
