So, is Robinson already hurt, then?

My problem all along with the drafting of Mark Ingram has not been the need (with the injuries to RBs that prior season), but the need to trade multiple draft choices to move into the NFL draft 1st round to draft a running back that was never considered a "can't miss" prospect. If you want to look at all of the Saints' success at signing free agent RBs after the draft (PT, Ivory, now Robinson?), why not also understand that there were plenty of opportunities to draft a rookie running back without giving up multiple picks and moving into round one. In my opinion it was a mistake then, and (in my opinion) the Saints are still hurting from losing an extra pick in that draft.

Thats a completely different argument than whether or not Ingram is a good RB.

Robinson keeps getting caught from behind by pursuit. He spends too much time dancing when he needs to hit a hole and get the yards. We had another running back that used to do that. Hmmm.........

I am going to go with Khiry Robinson leading the team in total yards rushing and ave gain/rush that its not an issue. He also has zero fumbles and in the top 5 receivers.
