I know with the Saints we are constantly using Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush back there, often at the same time.

I think people are overreacting because they hear he's going to be moved to receiver.
I'm sure with Thomas Jones, he's "moving to receiver" in the short-term while Jones/Charles split carries. I'm sure in the long-term, the vision is an LT/Sproles tandem, which I'm fine with.
I imagine he'll play a lot more slot this season than he's used to. But in the end, guarantee that in 2-3 years especially after they bulk him up a bit, he's basically a second back for Charles.
