I see him as average at best in this role. So maybe he's a bit underpaid, I'll give you that argument, but underrated? Not in my opinion. Look at his numbers for the past two games and you'll see some of what I'm talking about.

I'm going to have to disagree with you about PTs production and how much he's worth.
Your first question- can he be the man and handle the load? We are about to find out. But he has been good whenever Payton calls his number.
Your second question-Can he excel? Once again, we are about to find out. Watch the Superbowl again and you'll see him excel.
Is he underrated? We Saint fans already know the answer to that one. Just look at his film when we need to close out games. He moves the chains.
His avg right now is 3.93 yds. per carry. I'll admit that's not impressive. What is impressive is the way he makes something out of nothing. Some of his runs are inspirational. I can't recall too many 3rd downs that he hasn't come through for us. If you just watch him run he looks like a number 1 to me. I'm sold on him. I'd pay him.
