  1. Pierre or Hilliard. I’d lean Pierre, but Hilliard was before my time. My dad would say Hilliard though

  2. All purpose career yards:

    Pierre Thomas 8307

    Dalton Hilliard 6923

    Reggie Bush 4968

    Ricky Williams 4225

    Like the others, I’m going with Pierre

  3. AK, Ingram, Deuce after that you can tell me hilliard or PT or Hayward and I won’t fight with you.

  4. Gotta go with Pierre. Not only due to the stats people have already mentioned, but I’ll add an additional one that is eye-opening. Looking at his career stats on ESPN, Pierre fumbled 6 times. 3 rushing fumbles and 3 receiving fumbles (Regular and Post Season). Rule 1 of any player is ball security. Pierre is the epitome of ball security.

  5. He’s not as good as others listed, but putting in a plug for one of my first favorite Saints: Craig Heyward.

  6. Much love for Ingram and AK duo but, as a foreigner who spent a lot of his time watching random games, it was Pierre Thomas (together with Lance Moore, Colston and Brees) that made me fall in love with the Saints. And later Pierre Thomas and Sproles duo sealed it.

    But i guess this question will always have different answers depending on which “generation” of players you got used to seeing in their prime

  7. Definitely PT. But, if Reuben Mayes hadn’t tore his Achilles in his 3rd year, he’d be up there. Was never the same. Other oldies but goodies were George Rogers, Chuck Muncie, and Tony Galbreath

  8. Kamara, Ingram, Deuce, and Pierre

    Other than the guys everyone else named, I wanna shout out some of the backups we’ve had that i was a fan of like Ivory, Latavius, Hightower, Cadet, etc

  9. Ingram. AK41. Deuce. And Hilliard. When playing the Saints, Ronnie Lott asked “Who’s #21, he hits like a truck”. That’s high praise. And if he hadn’t been undersized, he wouldn’t have gotten injured so much. I love Pierre, and no one was better in the screen game. But IMO it’s Dalton.
