What gives you any indication that Drake would be better than Murray? Murray was on some terrible team also and still produced at a better rate.

Man, what did Murray do to you?

Idk why some people on here have a hard-on for him. Murray is the real deal and a former pro bowler. And you're right drake hasn't done jack. I wouldn't trade a seventh round pick for him.

Whether or not anyone agrees that the Saints should target Drake, it's not really accurate to say he hasn't done jack. It is absolutely accurate to say he is a good player who has been buried on a bad team. The fact that so many people in this thread seem to be entirely uninformed about him speaks to that fact.

Two years ago he had over 600 yards rushing, and averaged 4.8 yards per carry. Last year he had 535 rushing yards and averaged 4.5 yards per carry, and also had 73 catches for 477 yards and 5 touchdowns. And, as Beast said, this has all been with a bad team, where there really are no other respectable options for defenses to game plan for.

I don't see the Saints pursuing him, because Kamara has the same skill set and is more dynamic, but if the Dolphins dangled him for next to nothing, he's not the type of player you pass on.

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
