Personally, if I was going to trade one of our RBs, it would be Ingram.

You can't be serious?!

A first round pick 2 drafts ago not even in his prime yet, sidelined by a minor injury and you trade him?!

Sometimes you need to know when to cut bait... The bait I would cut would be Ivory.. and I love watching that dude run... But h is fragile...

Ingram had no chance of having a great first season with ZERO preseason and being one of a stable... kid never had a chance to get his rythem... I am ignoring his draft status.. win some... lose some.

Chris: $540k/year
Ingram is $712 this year and goes up next year.

Its a tough call... really

It's an easy call.

Chris Ivory - injured throughout college with barely enough stats to record. Injured every NFL season, showed flashes of ability that ended as soon as our starters healed. Why do you think we signed Ingram??

Mark Ingram -
National Championship starting RB
Single Season rushing record at UA
Undefeated season (starting RB)
First Heisman Trophy winner EVER at Alabama

Now, if there are any question marks on Ingram, they come following the beginning of his Junior season. Starts the season with minor knee surgery, misses the first few games, has a few good games but never goes for more than 100 yds the rest of the year.

Then he becomes a Saint, has a heel injury and a toe injury and basically takes the season to heal.

Who has more upside in your opinion?
