Before he hurt his heel he LED THE ENTIRE NFL in converting 3rd and short and 4th and short.

If you were expecting Adrian Peterson with the 28th pick, thats a you problem not an Ingram problem.

Many fans have high expectations when you factor in that the Saints Braintrust traded next year's No. 1 and their '11 No. 2 to move up and grab him - so expectations are slightly higher than they would be compared to other Pick 28's...

I'm disappointed in avatars

... but Ingram... no.

I'd have to ask what's meant by disappointed. I'm slightly disappointed he hasn't broken a big gainer yet, but I'm certainly not disappointed in what I've seen from him so far.

He's got the balance, quickness, and power I was expecting, but just hasn't had one of those WOW games yet. I do think they will come however and had he played this week I think we would have seen a couple big gainers from him.

I'd have to say that's about how I feel about his display up until now; the injury will also afford him an unexpected break and allow him to adjust to the rookie wall so that he can "finish strong" this season...

Ingram will be fine as long as he don't get the injury bug. I think if he stays healthy we will see him with us a long time. With him and Ivory being nicked up I'm real glad we are carrying 4 backs.

I agree. I view Ingram as a slighter bigger/faster/stronger version of PT, which is a great thing. His vision and patience aren't there yet, but they will be.

I actually expected less of him than what he's produced for us this year. So am I disappointed? Not at all. That said, I didn't expect nor think we needed a running back that early in the draft.

If Ingram can develop into PT, I'd be extremely happy. Hopefully down the road he'll get the touches PT never got to turn himself into an elite back for us.
