Lets keep things in perspective.

That I didn't know until today, but still good to see though

I gotta give some love to Cadet also. When called upon he delivered. He'll likely never be a Sproles or Thomas but he's fine for that 4th RB special teams guy.

Cadet has not been a popular player on the message board, but we saw last night when he gets a chance he can be pretty productive. He'll never be Darren Sproles but he can be a poor man's PT. That's not bad when he's your fourth option.

I'd like to see us limit the carried of Robinson and Thomas when they return, and keep it as the Ingram show.

Agreed, I haven't been a fan of cadet but when called upon last night he made the plays and extended some key drives for us. Deserves some credit.
All round great team win.

He beasted. Good to see him playing well. I hope we can afford to keep him.

People can say "Oh we played against the second to worst run defense in the NFL"

That still doesn't change the fact that Ingram has a 5.7 YPC for the season so far

Ingram is the type of runner that will wear a defense down, he will get 5 or 6 yards here and there and then he'll explode for a 30 yard gain

There is no perfect formula for winning in the NFL, nothing that says if you run the ball you'll win, the biggest thing our offense did was play mistake free, that's when we are most dangerous

Mark Ingram was he best football player in that entire draft , problem is we stashed him on the sideline with Sproles , Ivory , Thomas , Cadet , all taking snaps away from him. Add the fact that we pass 45+ times a game , and his history with being knicked up and you get what we got.

People screamed bust from the top of the Superdome , not even giving the kid his fair due.

I want to keep him , problem is he's probably performing this way because he know this is the only way the salvage his reputation in hopes to sign somewhere else because lord knows between Byrd Graham Brees and Jordan's upcoming date for an extension we probably won't have the resources to sign him to an effective deal.

His career would be unbelievable in Seattle where they I bet you are licking their chops on him with their lynch situation going sour.

We have to restructure somewhere or cut a back to make room for him. He not only wants the contract , he wants the carries.

Can we give that to him ?

What? You can't really say that with a straight face?

JJ Watt, AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, Von Miller, Tyron Smith, etc? That was a deep and really really good draft.

Now Ingram throughout his career here has had an unfair shake, but that wasn't just on the Saints. He had trouble reading blocks and it was evident the game was too fast for him when he made the initial transition. He didn't get the snaps because he wasn't ready for them and the players you mentioned were either all on par with him or better. You really think they wanted to trade up into the first round and just sit the former Heisman trophy winner? You can't just expect players to make the jump and be the exact same player they were in college. He wasn't prepared. You could tell in the preseason he was a completely different player this year. He worked harder, studied harder, focused harder, and now both parties are reaping the benefits.

If we decided to finally have a bell cow back, I would ove for us to retain him somehow. It looks like he's over that college to pro transition curve and ready to take the bull by the horns.

If he would've been carrying the ball from the start he'd be Adrian Peterson by now. He's just as good as any body at his best
