Article Top Five Best Seasons by a Saints Running Back (1 Viewer)

I’d swap in Dalton Hilliard’s 1989 season for number 5. 1262 rushing yards, 13 tds, 514 receiving yards, 5 tds, on an offense that wasn’t nearly as dynamic.
Honorable Mention
 
Deuce in 2003 was amazing. LT21 was the only RB you could argue was better that year.

Didn't Deuce have 8 straight games with over 100 yards rushing that year? He was on a tear!
 
McAlister defied logic in the sense that a man that big should not have been able to run the way he did.

He was powerful and ran with an ease that didn't make sense.

Yep...I remember being tired of Ricky Williams's antics...then when we saw glimpses of what Deuce could do I was like...bye bye Ricky
 
i hear you, but 18 tds is pretty dang impressive

Oh, absolutely. My thoughts in comparing the caliber of offenses was Hilliard didn’t have the advantage of a field stretching passing attack to take more of the pressure off. He was a workhorse back against some stout defensive fronts and turned in a strong showing in ‘89. I’d put that season in the top five without hesitation.

In case it went unnoticed, Hilliard and Kamara both had 18 tds in those respective seasons. Hilliard edged him out on combined yardage. Not taking anything away from Kamara, who has exceptional talent, and should have many great seasons ahead.

Dalton Hilliard led the NFL in TDs that year. Also, that was the season that Hebert got benched for Fourcade.

I'm fairly vertain this was the year I developed my love of football. And also the year of my first boner.
 
That list is pathetic. Chuck Muncie and Ruben Mayes are asking for a re vote And that doesn’t even mention Dalton or Ricky. Is the writer 15?

And if duos count what about Reggie and Pierre. That writer needs a drug test.
 
Ok how are you going to title your article Best Season by “a” Saints running back ..and then list a duo as number four.

That said, it was fun to reflect on 2003. Man it was so nice to have a beast who made everyone forget about how the RW trade went down. We finally had some people who knew talent.
