ESPN: Strief Sits, Ingram Returns

Does anyone need some gasoline? Fire ants? Duct tape? How about an Ativan?

To be honest, getting a bit bored with the Ingram bashing. It's not like all the other running backs we have, have proved that they can do what he hasn't. So I don't get it. How many times have we been 3rd and short and been knocked back because our offensive line hasn't held up their end? So let's cut the guy some slack. Whenall other running backs start making 4.5 yards a carry and he doesn't, maybe I will think again but until then you'll not find me giving him a hard time.

The Ingram bashing follows the same pattern as the Ricky Williams - Reggie Bush bashing to name 2, who happen to be RBs as well, which is (seemingly) resentment for draft position and picks given for the player, something over which the player had no control. Add to that the fantasy football mentality (stats-stats-stats), and in the case of Ingram, sprinkle some SEC rivalry on top, and you get Ingram bashing at its best.

Have you compared their career averages to that of Ingram? I don't want to be mean spirited, but I don't think people have paid much attention if they can't recognize the difference between Ingram and everyone else.

Ingram has no vision, and seemingly no will. I see some people really get their feelings hurt when someone like me questions his desire. They insist that I don't know him. Well hey, I don't claim to know how he is off the field. Maybe he's a great person. I'm not here to judge his moral character, and I don't care to either.

I speak only of what I see with my eyes. When he senses a play is breaking down, he just crumbles. The others fight for it. Even if it is just 1 yard. And eventually, if you keep fighting it will pay off. We ran the ball well yesterday when Payton finally decided to give it a try. I feel like we have a chance when Thomas, Sproles or Robinson get the ball. I don't feel that way when Ingram gets it.

It's year three of this project. There is zero room for excuses anymore. Rookies out play him annually on this team. I don't hate him, and all of the bleeding hearts need to stop confusing all forms of criticism with hatred. I simply am tired of his pathetic performance.

Congrats, you've won the most absurd post of the week!

Hope he is healthy and can start running much better. Might be a good week for him to get some carries with Wilfork out.
