He'd never last enugh games to become a 1,000 yard rusher, and fumbles would probably land him on the bench.

Doesn't fit? I disagree completely. If I had to pick a RB that doesn't fit this offense, Ivory would top that list.

Ingram never said he wasn't thrilled with his role, he said he thinks he can be an everydown RB in this league, meaning running, short yardage, receiving and 3rd down. And Ingram isn't making much money at all.

PT is signed thru 2014.

lol what do you think that means? it means he wants more touches and he wont get them on a 4 back offense. its not always the words they say, but more so what is implied.

I would be willing to trade ivory or cadet for a linebacker or 3rd rounder...

I think you're reading something that isn't there.

Here's the quote you're probably referring to...
Quote:
"I believe any way that the coaches need me to contribute in this offense, that's what I'm going to do and that's what I'm happy to do," Ingram said. "In my eyes, I've always thought that I'm an every-down back, an all-purpose back, a guy who can run inside, a guy who can run outside, a guy who can run routes and catch the ball out of the backfield and pick up yards for you, and a pass protector. I don't label myself as a short yardage back or a power back. I think I'm an all-purpose back that can play for you on every down no matter what it is."

And from that you got he's unhappy with his role in this offense? Thats a stretch.

The Lions have been said to be on the phone trying to trade for a back, we have 5? Just saying?

NFL Draft Zone – Detroit needs to be on the phone with New Orleans, NOW
Blasphemy!

Cadet is looking good again, I am liking this kid

Re: Could we trade Pierre to the Lions?
 
Any running back traded to Detroit could come back to haunt the Saint's in the future. Nevertheless I love Cadet and think he will be an every down back in the future, if you can get a 3rd for Ivory I'd jump all over it considering allhe does is fumble and get hurt.

They will pick up Hightower now he has been cut is my guess

No way in hell we are trading Pierre. Chris Ivory? Sure, just give us a nice draft pick.

No, we don't negotiate with terrorists.

Re: Could we trade Pierre to the Lions?
 
I find it funny that there seems to be a consensus that good RB's can be found later in the draft, so its unwise to burn a high pick on one.

Yet no one wants to give up a good RB in Pierre Thomas for a 1st round pick?

That's a good point, Danno. Just look at our roster of RB's. Ingram is the only first-round pick. Sproles was taken in the 4th round by San Diego. The other three backs (PT, Ivory, and Cadet) were undrafted free agent signings. As I said in my first reply to this thread in agreement with you, I wouldn't give up PT for anything but a first round pick.

I just do not want to give up PT.

Pierre Thomas scratched, clawed, and fought his way onto this team. He EARNED that spot in the truest sense of the word.

If somebody wants to overpay/ overtrade (Is that even a word) then I say GREAT for him. He earned himself a contract, no doubt.

Would I be happy? HAIL no, but if somebody wants to throw a stack of cash at him I wouldn't blame him at all for going and getting it.

That said, the Lions and every other team that wants him can go piss up a rope as far as I'm concerned. LOVE watching that dude run, he's a beast

Why on earth would we trade Ingram? We haven't even fully worked him into the rotation yet? We really don't know what kind of back we have in him. The sky is the limit for that guy. Im not saying trade PT but if I was forced to pick between the two i would trade PT. Ingram is younger and from what little I have seen from him is a mad man. I think you are going to see exactly why we drafted him the way we did this year.

WIth Pierre, that would be giving up a proven for a possibility.

lee909 08-31-2012 06:36 PM
Wouldn't trade Ingram.
Even for a first,if you could guarantee it was a pick somewhere between 8-18 I guess Loomis would have to think about it but the Lions are likely to make the playoffs.

Re: Could we trade Pierre to the Lions?
 
That is crazy, PT is one weapon that you should not go to war without.
Remember SF game, our offense was not the same after his injury.
I think we should keep all of them, RB position is a position that you can not have enough good backs. Running backs get injured more than other positions.

Hell, no!
