What does a prime Portis have to do with anything? He hasn't been Prime Portis since he got here.
As for it being "easy to get ypc" in New Orleans, I don't know about that... Mike Bell got more carries than Thomas did behind that line this season and his ypc was a Portis-esque 3.8.
Look, I'm not saying Pierre Thomas is The Next Big Thing or anything, but it's pretty obvious that CP has racked up yardage by buying in bulk since he got here, not by running efficiently. You burn the candle at both ends, you pay the price eventually.
All I am saying is I would much rather have a young, low-mileage guy like Thomas in our backfield next year than someone with the warning signs written all over him like Portis.
