If the problem isn't Ingram, then what has everyone else had no problems in the system?

Hell, Lynell Hamilton ran better than Ingram.

Lynell Hamilton averaged 3.6 yards per carry.
Mike Bell averaged 3.7 yards per carry.

1.8, 1.6, 3.3 2.5, 2.0, 0.0, 3.8, 3.3, 2.3
Those were PT’s averages in 9 of the 16 games last year.
The problem wasn’t Ingram.


Reggie's 1st three years as a Saint 3.6, 3.7, 3.8
The problem wasn’t Ingram.

Sproles is a 3rd down scat back. No comparison.
He's not getting the 3rd and 1, 4th and 1, or short yardage goal line carries.
The problem wasn’t Ingram.

And Deuce McAllister, the best RB the Saints ever had averaged 4.0 yards per carry over his last 5 years here.
The problem wasn’t Ingram.

I don't even argue this one any more, Danno. There is a contention of people with a biased opinion based on irrationalities and only a half-hearted look at the statistics as a whole. The bottom line is this: If you're a Saints first round draft pick, be prepared to be judged irrationally. The second half of last season Ingram had one of the better stat lines of the past several seasons of our RB stable. Who knows what it could have looked like if they had passed to him any.
