I dunno, but did we give the wrong back the big contract, because Tate still looks like a better pure runner than Foster to me even though Arian is more proficient on the cutbacks and a better pass receiver. And look at the swarm of capable backs the Saints have, sometimes it just doesn't seem to make good business sense to pay a single back big bucks ? Count your lucky stars Arian, and sorry about that MJ-D but I kinda agree with your owner.
And Holliday doesn't look to be such a slam-dunk to make the 53-man roster this morning does he ?
I don't think it's close between Foster and Tate.

Foster is clearly better in short yardage, passing game, blitz pickup, big plays, making guys miss, and it goes on...

Tate is about equal as a between the 20s 1st down runner. Those are not that hard to find.

I will base my happiness with his contract on his destruction of the AFC North in two playoff games where both teams knew they were getting Arian and could do nothing about it.
