Triplett says Saints Interest in Chris "Beanie" Wells is "Bona Fide"

You mean all we have to do is give PT 15+ carries and he lights it up??? Man why hasn't anyone else figured that out???

That's faulty logic. PT gets the carries when he's proving that he can run against the D. The carries don't come before the production. If PT isn't running the ball well enough early on, he doesn't get the carries. I imagine SP wants a back that is more consistent early on, every game, not just against weak defenses.

I have no idea why SP hasn't figured that out! Don't ask me why SP threw the ball 47 times versus only 17 runs in a monsoon in Tampa Bay, to hand the Bucs their last win of the year in Week 13. That's another discussion, but when people called for SP's head after that loss, and he finally committed and made PT a part of the gameplan the next week against an Atl playoff team, he went 16 for 102, 2 scores, and not to mention a huge kickoff return to set up the win.

The numbers don't lie. 4.8ypc is manly. SP admitted last year he was slow in giving PT his share, and when he did he produced. Like I said, I learned months ago there's nothing I or PT can do to change some of your minds, and its amazing some of you can't see this guy for the runner he is, but to use another 1st round pick, (after we've used - some may argue wasted - our 2nd on one) on another offensive player is a joke.
