If you include prone to injury in the comparison, he is the 4th best RB we have. |

Defensive coordinators facing the Saints should always have the problem of solving our backfield, let alone Drew and his arsenal. If we should
 focus on a particular back, well......(insert a Miami Dolphins joke here____________________)

Again for the ones who apparently missed last season.. anyone tell me we have a back that runs as hard and punishes defenders as much as Chris ..and i will ask you kindly to...pass the pipe.

Look I'm not hating on Ivory, but I don't think he's got a spot in the regular RB rotation on this team. Running hard and punishing defenders are nice, but that doesn't necessarily make a good back. I'd rather us give touches to PT and Ingram. Just my opinion. |

I think PT should be our #1 RB and get the majority of the carries. The main reason is he runs with alot of power and he always falls forward.
How about some stats. PT has 445 attempts and with only 3 fumbles I think I would want him carrying the ball as much as possible. Dont understand all the injury prone talk either. In 08 and 09 he missed 3 games. 2010 was a serious injury that he never recovered from but that happens to RBs when they run as hard as PT. |

PT with the most overall touches. Ingram with the most rushes. But frankly I am not scared of any touch by any of the 3 between Thomas, Ingram or Sproles. They all run and catch equally effectively. Ivory is the more one dimensional back. I like the 3 headed monster as well.
