Anyone disappointed with Ingram?

Then Atlanta must be disappointed in Julio

I admit I expected a little more from Ingram than we've gotten so far but I'm not hugely disappointed either. I think hes still developing and by the end of the season he will either shine or ride the pine.

Oh & I hope its not my avatar thats disappointing!

Mark Ingram has been starting for the Saints most of the season. And he's done a great job because he runs with REAL authority. He's a major upgrade to the position, a complement to PT, and insurance for the playoffs so we don't have to scour the free-agent market desperately seeking 4th rate RB's to pull us through the playoffs (like last year).

What makes this article on NFL.com so sorry and sad is they have Julio Jones as an "Rookie Standout" when Julio has been hurt and hasn't done squat this season except for 2 touchdowns against the Indy DOLTS - worst defense in the NFL.

Julio Jones, WR, Falcons (first-rounder, sixth overall): He missed two games due to injury, but he returned in a big way last week to score twice. Atlanta paid a lot to get to him, but it appears he was worth the price. Jones also blocks well, which helps in that offense. He'll be a Pro Bowler down the line.

Seriously? So if Ingram was injured this season, hadn't been a blocking back, didn't score at all UNTIL last week, and he came on the field and scored 2 touchdowns last week against the worst defense in the NFL, then he would be a "Rookie Standout" according to NFL.com??

I mean, come on, seriously? Who writes this stuff? Mr. Potato Head??

In this offense, no running back will have a breakout pro bowl type season. Im in no way disappointed in Ingram, I'm disappointed he's injuries cause they will need him this week to keep the Falcons offense off the field. Good thing go 4 deep at running back so let's hope this injury doesn't effect him long term

So far - no. If he doesn't show more, then over time - yes

Ashley · 11-09-2011, 08:15 PM

I'd say no but I don't think we use him enough.

Memnoch_TP · 11-09-2011, 09:33 PM

Well, I have to go with "yes". Not that he has been bad, and he hasn't been used enough for me to expect him to light up the NFL as a rookie.

But, really, I haven't seen him do anything that 23 or Ivory couldn't do. With all the injuries that we had at RB last year, I understand the pickup, but once we got the great addition of Sproles taking Ingram was really kind of a waste of a pick.

I don't think it was a bad decision to take him, especially not being able to recruit due to the lockout, but I don't think it ended up being the best decision. A kick ass linebacker or O-Line help would have done the team a lot more good.
