Yeah, what he said.

He reminds me a Reggie when he was a rookie. Couldn't find the hole with a seeing eye dog. He's struggling with our offense and I place that blame upon him. He'd be in more if he proved during practice he knew what he needed to do.

And a younger Ingram as well... how many of you were calling for his being traded/cut early on?

A lot, including me. I'd still be ok with trading him, if I thought he'd bring any value back. He's improved a little bit, but he's not game changer. I think the biggest thing I've noticed about him as that he finishes runs better than he used to. He was notorious for running into the backs of his linemen and just falling down.

But I don't see where he's a guy that makes something out of nothing. Spiller, for whatever reason, is looking a lot like the old Ingram. But I've seen the guy when he was a star. I'm not ready to quit on that potential after one year, when I watch the crap show that was Mark Ingram, his first three years, as I said before.

I'd trade him in a heart beat, his best season was a contract year besides that he's been a bust

IMO, he seems to lack vision and the ability to make jump-cuts. He seems to always choose the wrong hole to hit and because of that ends up running into a defender more times than not. Usually he just abandons the run and heads over to the sideline for a minimal gain. He also seems to avoid contact whenever possible.

Very disappointing...

	If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
