I wish he would've been given a chance to be a primary back. When you go back and look at his stats, he always averaged around 4.5-5.0 yards per carry when healthy and the other backs struggled to average 4.0. He was underrated all around.
I think the majority of his success was due to him not being the primary back. It's cliché, but runningbacks can only take so many hits in their career. By not pounding him between the tackles 20-25 times a game, it allowed him to last longer and still have his legs underneath him.

That's true for his overall career, but I meant in direct comparison to the other backs in any given year. Go pick any year and compare the ypc for the backs on the team. I'm not trying to conclude anything, it's just an interesting observation looking back.

Pierre was one of my favorite running backs in a Saints uniform especially for an undrafted player! Dalton Hilliard was not too bad running screen passes as well. Oh wait, he went to LSU.
