Ingram is in no way shape or form a bust!

I have been as hard on the guy as much as anyone, and I will admit it is because of one play: 4th & goal against the Packers on opening night.

Looking back, I blame Payton and Brees for that play not working.

Payton for not telling Brees that if the Packers stack the line, change the play;
Brees for NOT changing the play when it was obvious to Helen Keller & Ray Charles that Green Bay KNEW it was going to be a run!

this is were i went ballistic in the draft during round three. i know the need for defense but the defense is not getting us to the promise land it is the offense. Time will tell but the saints have taken steps backward with OL each year since the superbowl and there is only so far backwards you can go till you pay a price. INO Ingram is showing the weakness in our OL

The worse RB on the roster right now is Ingram... the worse RB on the roster by end of this season will be Ingram

He could be the "worst" RB on the roster, still be an awesome contributor and have a better year than most RBs in the league. A great offense can do that with running back committees. He's never going to be a Peterson because that's not how we roll. Teams with Petersons rarely, if ever make it to the big one.

Ingram is far more awesome than fair weather, disloyal whiney fans could ever be. Period.

Some of you should move to Atlanta. You're a disgrace as a fan. Take up basketweaving or knitting Alice, because real men aren't as disloyal as some of YOU are.

Stand by my statement - this is year 3 and the production you'd expect from a running back drafted in the first round, especially one we moved back and spent exchanged first round picks PLUS a second to get...

It's important to separate the reasons for the bust - and, as I've posted before, I don't lay all the blame at the feet of Ingram...

But you can't blame it on the OLine when Ivory did have success and Pierre Thomas has also had success...

And as great players do, it's up to Ingram to adjust his game for his success which will be the team's success...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Oh so this is his breakout year... they say you find out how good ya Draft
Pick will be n his 3rd year .... lets hope he does something ... I've haven't been impressed yet...

So, first year he gets hurt...that sucks, but he hasn't spent nearly as much time on IR as IRvory....as for last...the team didn't have a coach, we had the absolute worst play calling (every time he hit the turf everyone knew it was a run), a historically disgusting defence that always put us behind (which in turn lead to us throwing every down), no RB coach for 6 games and he still lead the team in rushing. I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING

I remember his first season before he got hurt. He was making some great plays down the stretch. Jumping over people, pushing linemen in the back to scrap a couple more yards. I hope he gets back to that and I think he will. Payton is going to give him a lot more opportunities.
