He should come down to just let the Saints still see what he has.

I thought he was playing for the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL last year I could be wrong.

I feel like we let him go. Not a matter of him leaving

I like him on the roster more than Martez Carter.

I’d rather have Chris Ivory back.

Mike Bell was an absolute beast that year at times.

Key word, and most of that was very early in the season. He disappeared near the end and the playoffs.

Him having 28 carries for 143 yards (5.1 ypc) game one skewed how people viewed him the rest of the year.

He finished with only a 3.8 ypc, and didn't have over 2.9 ypc over the last 7 games (including the playoffs where he basically disappeared even before the cleat incident).

KRob isn't all that different in that fans remember a few really good runs (the one against Atl in particular), but he really wasn't that good (had a slightly better 4.1 ypc than Bell). That's not bad but he wasn't the hammer people think he was (same with Bell).

Now Ivory was a beast of a runner. That dude legit smashed over people most every run and had some speed if he could break free. Not a good blocker or receiver with us though (but did develop later).

I'm not opposed to giving KRob a chance, but I'm not expecting much.

Khiry was pretty decent .
I felt like he was just starting to hit his stride then he broke his leg.

Think he averaged over 5 yards a carry in a couple playoff games as a saint.
Mike bell is way over rated

That leg break was awful.
I'd love to see what he can do if he's got gas in the tank.

You sleep, I swear Martez is going to turn some heads. Look at Tarik Cohen for the bears and that’s what you get with Martez Carter. Kamara is about to be a full time back. Carter is going to give us what TommyLee Lewis should have been doing.

Just shy at 4.9 ypc (one game 5.6 and one 4.4), but yeah he did well in the two playoff games. Had a decent 51 ypg rushing avg in those two games.

But people forget his last year here where he REALLY struggled when he had a 3.2 ypc. Some of that was on Payton using him too much as a power back, and some was the Oline that year, but he went to the Jets the next year and was even worse (2.8 ypc though that was in very limited carries with only 8).

I'm sure some of that was also the injuries catching up with him too, but 2016 was his last year in the league. He was washed out by that point.
