Re: Pierre Thomas released...
 

So we dumped PT to throw more coin Ingram's way. BAH!!!

IF he can stay healthy, and IF he doesn't have the typical post-contract letdown, maybe I'll eat crow and say this was for the best.


Right now I feeling like we sold our late 90s model sportscar for a 5 year old Prius...

No, thats not why we dumped PT.

Re: Pierre Thomas released...
 

He stayed FAR healthier than Thomas did last season. This was not a financial decision. It was a production decision.

Re: Pierre Thomas released...
 

Twelve Saints running backs have 500 or more career rushing attempts.

Pierre Thomas’s average per attempt, 4.6 yards, is a third of a yard better than anybody else on that list.

Pierre Thomas fumbled seven times in 818 rushing attempts.

Rueben Mayes fumbled 14 times in 837 attempts.

Chuck Muncie fumbled 25 times in 788 attempts.

Pierre fumbled less often than any other New Orleans running back. Ever.

Sorry to say it's a "what have you done for me lately" league and Ingram had 700 more yards rushing and 8 more TD's last year

Re: Pierre Thomas released...
 

If it were ONLY a what have you done for me lately thing, Ingram would have been sacking groceries somewhere a couple of years ago.

Thomas produced when he saw the field. Problem was coach was saving him for SOMETHING - what exactly I'm not sure, maybe carrying his luggage - so naturally Ingram's touches and yards went up.


Don't get me wrong - I'd love to see Mark get 1200 yards and a dozen TDs next year but it ain't happening.

We'll be lucky if he's not on IR by game 6, or worse yet - active and averaging 2 yards and a cloud of dust like he has his entire career (sans 2014).
