Sproles has broken more NLF and team records than any of them.

Love Deuce but PT23 is the man.

Deuce and Dalton are 1A and 1B

TBH; one reminds me of the other.

Dalton is still my all-time favorite Saint. Like it was stated prior; sometimes he was the only offense the Saints had.

Some darn good names on that list. And totally agree with HALO about Mayes.

Yall might laugh but I use to tear people up in madden with Mr Mario Bates.

Rogers still holds the Saints single season rushing record with 1674 and tied with Deuce and Hilliard with 13 TDs

He also ave nearly 200 yards per season more than Deuce...

Its so close I can only go with the numbers.

Rogers

I love them all. They all were the best when they were there. The backfield of Muncie and Galbreath was amazing. 1a. Rogers, 1b. Deuce, 1c. Muncie, 1d. Hiliard. Everyone else is honorable mention.

I voted Deuce but I would put Pierre right behind him.

BTW, why isn't Bill Butler (#38) up there? haha j/k Any of you old-timers remember him?
