NOW - that he's finally healthy - he's ripping off consistent 100+yard games.

What's not to like?

And I don't get the "thug mentality" comment at all.
Are you an Auburn fan?

If he can't consistently stay healthy I wouldn't put a lot of money in someone who can't regularly see the field. Year after year he hasn't proven that he will be available.

I believe he has coach feeling frustrated and angry. When I see these two interact Payton always looks like he's about to lose it. I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling when I see these two together. His excessive celebrations and subsequent penalties didn't endear him to coach either. Oh, and I can't recall the last time a team mate talked to him on the side line except immediately after a big play. I'm not saying that I am a psychologist or an expert in human relationships....I just tend be observant.

And the thug mentality that I refer to is the big shows he puts on after a first down when we are getting blown out. I'm also referring to his excessive celebrations which hurt the team because of his stupid penalties. He has as yet to show me anything besides that thug mentality.

And finally.............Hell no I'm not an Auburn fan! I bleed Crimson baby. However, they are both fine institutions of higher learning.
I liked Ingram a lot coming out of Alabama. I was excited about him........but the glow has faded. I am glad he's playing better......just not glad enough to give him very much money against a tight cap.

Wow, you made some valid points injury-wise/teammate-wise and now I'm beginning to wonder if I really like him as much as I think I do,

. I'm glad you clarified your definition of 'thug mentality' because that one kinda' threw me as well.

Dude. It's the NFL - no one stays healthy. But now that Ingram is, you can't argue the value of his production. Besides, the average time it takes a player to develop to "NFL readiness" is 3-4 years. You can argue that we gave too much to get him, but he's becoming the player Payton moved back into round 1 to secure.

Still think you're inferring waaay too much from what you've "observed" on the sidelines.

But you can rest easy because even if Loomis wanted to, there won't be enough money to over-pay him.
