NEW Mark Ingram thread (post Dallas)

[Choupique]

Move to Atlanta.

If you can't be loyal to your own team, don't be anything.

Just move to a lame place such as Detroit, Dallas or Atlanta.

Loyalty proves honor, RIGHT?

I'm glad our team hung in with Ingram.

I'm glad P Thomas took him under his wing and showed loyalty to a team mate.

Perhaps that'll teach SOME of you a thing or two about honor and loyalty.

Two Dat.

Dance with the one who brung ya.

Good Job Ingram!

I have been an Ingram supporter. But the way this thread reads we should have kept Jason David.

I don't think this is a question of peoples loyalty to their team, Players are payed to produce, our O line finally got it together and Ingram had a great game

However I would not question the loyalty of the members on this board, you are fighting an uphill battle there

Do you expect fans to be happy that Garrett Hartley has missed 7 of his last 8 FG's? As a fan, we have rights to be P***ed off when the players don't produce

And when they are not happy with Garrett Hartley, would you say move to atlanta? Players are paid to produce, I hope Ingram and the O line carry on like they did vs dallas but its not a loyalty matter what so ever

i beg to differ. it is indeed a matter of loyalty.

there are many who have "badmouthed" ingram in this forum regardless if you can admit it. the threads are still there.

not one fan could replace ingram, is my guess.

i trust the coaches far more than any fair weather fans...

their own words prove their character, regardless if others see that.

So if I say garrett hartley sucks and should be cut because he's dangerously close to costing us games, would I be counted as unloyal and a fair weather fan? Just because the coaching staff are sticking by him and he's still our starting kicker?

Loyalty has nothing to do with Honour/Honor and loyalty to a team is different then loyalty to a player. If you are loyal to a player then you are going to find your self wearing many different Jerseys in your lifetime.

In contrast to your train of thought Choup, voicing a negative opinion about a player that is preforming badly is proving loyalty to the team... Maintaining loyalty to an under preforming player actually shows that the "team" comes second in your priorities.

Players come and go, and unless you are the Rams, Raiders, Oilers, Colts, Browns, or Raiders.. Your team has always been in the same city with the same name. (There are a few more but they are not in the last 4 decades)

Regardless of form, it doesn't show any disloyalty. Telling fans to jump to another wagon does show a little about character though.

One thing I will say is that the desire and work ethic have always been there for Ingram. You can tell he cares passionately about the team and the game. It seemed like he was a man on a mission the other night. He was very hard to bring down. Yes, there were holes in Dallas' defensive line, but Ingram was still on fire.

Now if he can do even a serviceable job against the 49ers stout defense, I'll really be convinced.
