Re: Mark Ingram looks ahead to uncertain future: 'I'd love to be a Saint'
Yeah I don't see him back either and frankly that doesn't bother me. I don't think he brings anything we can't find cheaper. We are not a one back team, we are not a run first team. We will always be a running back by committee group. I am sure that if Robinson or Pierre Thomas got the carries Ingram received the results would have been very similar.
We always find RB's who can be part of that committee like Robinson and Thomas. We had guys like Chris Ivory and Joquie Bell and let them walk because we were RB heavy. Almost every team in the league was into their 3-4 RB's throughout the year. Draft another with a mid round pick, bring in a veteran FA and prospect a couple undrafted FA's and we are no worse for wear. Sorry Mark but you can find your money from someone else. |

Look at teams that have RBBCs like the bucs, bills, dolphins, lions, pats. The pats have Brady and a defense, the lions are having a fluke year have a defense and Megatron, the bills have a defense which helped with 9-7 otherwise bad. The bucs RBBC is why they were bad and the dolphins RBBC is why they can win no more than 8 games. If we are trying to be run first, a RBBC without Brees being effective will not cut it. Ingram really this year was not in a timeshare but when PT came back, he hasn't looked the same. |

He was finally healthy, and had a great year. Bring him back.

I like Ingram, but he is not an elite back like some of the guys out there. If he wants that kind of $, he's got to go, he is replaceable.

I personally would like to see him back. He pretty well carried the O on his back. 7-9 could easily have been 4-12 without him. I think he likes being here and will take a decent contract(unlike Graham did) to remain here.
