The 13ers Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Can someone explain to me why Pierre Thomas is so high on ranking lists? In my league, he was the 20th ranked RB from last year point-wise. I know I shouldn't base this year from last year, but just look at his history. Plus, Brees is the focus of that offense and they have a RBBC going on. His schedule doesn't suggest he'll have a much better year. He didnt miss much time at all. Thanks!

The 13ers Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Mike Bell wont be vulturing TDS this year? Hmm, I'm still skeptical and leery. The Saints have the best OL according to this site's rankings. I guess i'll have to take a closer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Couple of reasons... 1. People still remember his 2008 season when he was pure gold at the end of the year. He also had some good games last season but was hampered by injuries and both Bell and Bush vulturing some short yardage TDs. 2. He should get at least 250 touches in a high-powered offense this year. That alone makes him a low-end #2/high-end #3. 3. Bell is gone and he only has P.J. Hill, Ivory, and Betts to back him up...which pretty much means that Payton will be forced to play him whether he wants to rest him or not. Bush will get some touches but he's more of a 3rd down/receiving/gimmick back. 4. He's injury-prone which is why he's not ranked even higher.

BearBroncos Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 NO, with the injury to Hamilton, will be less likely to be an RBBC even though they added another back for depth. Plus, PT showed he does have talent and could make an interesting prospect this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
