But as a first round pick, more is expected immediatley especially with the limited life of an NFL running back...

I like Ingram, but as a first round pick, this year's results have been disappointing with the exception of the 3rd/4th down conversion rate...

I really disagree with disappointing...you kinda finalized your concern with what he has been asked to do 3rd and 4th down. They call on him and he does. While it is great to have so many good rb's
none of them get enough carries to get their groove going. He has only had a couple of big runs, but I think he has done his job. A stand out year...no, an effective year....yes. I think he is averaging at about 3.9 yds per carry and Ivory 4.1 yards per carry.
