Pierre Thomas: Game Logs at NFL.com

4 of Sproles games have been less than 2.9 YPC
Darren Sproles: Game Logs at NFL.com

Ingram has had 4 less than 2.9 YPC as well.

Not sure what you mean by "Some times we see what we want to see."?

You didn't notice Ingram's sub par performance for 2 and a half years?

After the first quarter of this season,
Sproles was averaging 4.2 yards per carry
Thomas was averaging 3.4 yards per carry
And Ingram who had already missed two games due to injury by that point was averaging 1.8 yards per carry.

When was his first good game this season? Week 10 against the Cowboys?

In 2011 and 2012 Ingram averaged 3.9 yards per carry
Sproles and Thomas averaged 5.9 and 4.8 yards per carry respectively.

Hard to miss that kind of contrast.

Like I said, it's great that he's been playing great lately and everyone's really happy about it, and we're all hoping he's the next Adrian Peterson but anyone that questioned his ability early in the season had good reason to do so. None of us wanted to see it but it was hard not to.
