Ingram indeed is a worthy 1st round draft pick, and true he hasn't lived up to it. I completely blame the system he is in as the core reason. There are simply not enough plays in a game to keep everyone happy and rolling, especially the talented running backs the Saints have. A guy like Ingram really needs that 20-25 carries per game, but if the Saints do that then they are seriously limiting other contributers like Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas. Yes, this is a good problem to have, but it does get awkward at times.

Yes, if we had the Saints had a crystal ball and could see into the future, then Ingram would have never been drafted by the Saints. When he was drafted, it was fresh coming off a year that the Saints got so messed up with injuries at the position. Remember the Julius Jones and Ladell Betts experiments? That experiment is why Ingram was drafted by the Saints.
