Its up to Ingram to now go out there and put in an excellent performance against the 49ers. A bit of RB competition in the team will probably be a good thing in the long run!

Agree. But, I just wish we could go with the hot hand more.

Trade him to Green Bay. Or Denver, Minnesota, or Baltimore.
A lot of teams are thin right now, and his value will never be higher.
Bottom line, we are talking about a guy who averages 600 yards a year, cries when he doesn't get the ball, and has not consistently shown that he is a dominant runner.
Take advantage of the market and say goodbye

What can he do that he hasn't done yet? How does he not run into his blockers?

ATLANTA — Mark Ingram’s apparent temper tantrum turned into touchdowns Sunday afternoon, a negative morphed into a positive for the Saints offense.

Ingram, known for his outward emotions on the field, watched portions of this regular season-opening loss to Atlanta separated from his teammates — standing nearly 20 feet away from a sideline cluster, likely disgruntled by his smaller-than-expected role during the first three quarters.

CLEVELAND — Ever since television cameras caught Saints running back Mark Ingram throwing what appeared to be a temper tantrum on the sideline during a 37-34 Saints defeat in Atlanta on Sept. 7, the public has been trying to figure out what may have gotten the New Orleans running back so heated.
