Second I'd take Ingram. Guy is a rookie and one heckuva runner inside the tackles.

Third would be Sproles. Love the guy, but think he's best suited when he's changing the pace.

In reality though, all three are good runners and I would like to see them all get more touches... that is if our OL stops being weak sauce. Our interior line is overrated this season.

Not according to Canton...they are the best in the business..not opening holes on 3rd and one proves your point..Ivory and Brees made em look good last year..

Canton couldn't find it with both hands a map unless someone gave him some statistics about where it was located.

Am I the only one who doesn't think Ivory was all that and a bag of potato chips? Fourth best back on our roster IMO.

Leading the team in rushing last year? i would say thats pretty good...great vision..power...speed..follows blocks...if he stays healthy look out!

Yeah, I don't think he has that 'quality' that makes him a keeper, but he can be used in certain decoy packages. If Sean thinks he can contribute by all means, we use him. But he is not starter material to me.

If he had the durability to last 16 games, I'd say he may be top 10 in the league.

If you include prone to injury in the comparison, he is the 4th best RB we have.
