Pierre Thomas, My take

I've often thought that myself. Smith wasn't the biggest, fastest or most powerful but he had great vision and balance and they are Pierre's two biggest strengths too.

From the little I've seen of Mike Bell he seems to have some of the same attributes, although maybe with a bit more power and straight-line speed.

And Reggie's getting there, but vision (or seeing the lane, hole recognition, whatever you wanna call it) is probably his weakest point after physical strength. But Reggie is definitely improving and his ypc is up as a result.

The only problem is what happens when Bell is fit again - how will Payton give each of them enough carries?! Still, I can think of worse problems to have.
