Damn Canton, where in your life are you not being fulfilled? My life sucks and I'm nowhere near as much of a hater as you. Stat crunching is an intelligent way to break down sports, or anything really, but it isn't a perfect picture of what you should come to expect. Ivory and Ingram have both battled a few injuries and neither one of them seem 100% up to the task of being a workhorse yet. That being said, I think with everything we've seen from each back, Ivory is more proven. Take into account what he did last year. Maybe he will never return to form like that, but he definitely earned a shot at being considered long term. Ingram was a pick I think the Saints made because they were unsure about Ivory, didn't have Sproles, knew Reggie was walking and didn't feel like P.T. was all that we'd ever need. It just so happens that they're all ready and willing to play now. In time we'll see what happens for the long term, and I truly feel like Ingram or Ivory are going to be the main 2 battling it out for that 3rd hard-runner spot. I know Chris Ivory has it in him to be great, and I know Ingram does too. I personally feel like Ivory should be splitting carries almost completely with P.T. and that P.T. and sproles should share the receptions with Sproles on returns. Ingram should ride the bench for some of this year, make sure any physical naggings are expunged and just mature under a masterful offense. Stop all of the bickering though. Value your opinion, but remember that it is yours, and try to keep the sharp end of it to yourself.
