No way. Sproles would simply be a scat back and a stud returner.

PT is our best RB, until Ingram supplants him.

I still have yet to read a post that doesn't qualify Ivory's talent without a comment about staying healthy.

If Cie Grant could have stayed healthy he'd have been a stud MLB.

All our backs have had trouble staying healthy the past couple of seasons...

I can't help but think maybe either our strength and conditioning coaches or the schemes Payton runs has alot to do with our injuries. A couple years ago it was corners, last year running backs, its bizzarre.

I do not think signing Sproles will have any bearing on PT what so ever. If anyone is to get traded/released it will be Hamilton. Also I see Ivory on the PUP list anyhow, so if we trade PT that would leave Ingram, Sproles, and Hamilton. I would be worried about that scenario. It will likely be P.T. Ingram, Ivory, Sproles. They possibly even keep Hamilton if Ivory goes IR or PUP.

I think Sproles goes elsewhere for more touches and more money though.

PT>Ivory. Ivory = Paper Tiger PT had a fluke injury when somebody rolled up on his leg.
Ivory couldn't stay healthy in college or the pros because of his running style.
Still, it's a GREAT PROBLEM for the Saints to have.

Actually he doesn't. He's basically had one injured season.

Ivory never made it through a game without getting hurt, and now he won't even be ready for training camp because of liz franc surgery, which has ended NFL careers.

It has to do with you stating PT was deep into the injury category.
