Kinda how I feel too. I think his critics have been way over the top but he must start producing the big wow plays.

I think he's been OK, not great but certainly not as bad as some here proclaim.

I think 2013 is pretty close to sink or swim with Mark.

Ingram isn't a bruiser style RB, he even said it himself.

That's it? That's the article? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Well then, shoot... Here we go...

Nick Toon poised for record-breaking year
AP - (YOUR TOWN, USA) --
The New Orleans Saints, an NFL team known for their passing prowess, are set to add another weapon to the arsenal in 2013. WR Nick Toon.

Toon, son of former NFL-er Al Toon, Toon scorched the weak-ass Big Ten for a whopping 64 catches in 2011... And when those numbers are applied to the "Mark Ingram Rule," (which calls for a player to perform better than they ever have in a pro football game/season "just because a writer says so" even though said writer clearly has never watched a game) Toon is looking at a record-breaking campaign.
Calvin Johnson -- (laughter) move over... Nick Toon is on the scene...
Why???
Because, Rantsports.com... that's why

I think Ingram being "ok" is some what subjective...

If he was a 3rd round draft pick for any other team yes he is "ok".
He was a Saints First Round draft pick.. and for our history with 1st rounders he is fair to good.

In the last decade he was rated 17th best first round RB draft pick (Apr 2012)

Which year was not real? The year with Sean Payton as head coach or the year that he played in all 16 games?

Seer1 · 04-03-2013, 12:56 PM

The year he ran the same play every time he went in for sixteen games straight.

His utilization trend stayed consistent both years. Between the tackles.

people whine about running backs a lot.

ironic part is, the whiners could never be a running back.

i like mark ingram. i think he is a great running back.

i couldn't do what he does regularly.

Haha! I could do it once then somebody'd (from some team other than the Saints) be making some big bucks for a "cart off".
