I agree with whoever said he is decent, because he is. Not great, and if great is what you expected, then maybe he is a bust. With all the bad decisions over the years since he has joined the team, he doesn't even register.

I can't seemed to get banned here no matter how hard I try. LMAO

I tried for years. LOL

Trent Richardson was a double bust.

Some could say that Ingram wasn't worth two draft picks. One first rounder......sure. Two? It's questionable. Ingram's turf toe held his development back. He has developed into a good all around running back with good pass protection and as a receiver. I'm happy with where he is now. We would probably have wasted the other draft pick anyway. Roll Tide!!!

Oh yes, our 7th round draft pick looks pretty darn good in limited playing time.

He's no Johnathan Sutherland that's fosho

I would compare his status vs production to Reggie Bush's. Givin both their draft status and what we got in return in hindsight it was too much but we have gotten solid production from both and both have come up big when we needed them to. I remember how Ingram turned total beast a few years back when we made the playoffs. It took him all season but he finally hit on all cylinders.
If he could give us that kind of production all the time then he would be well worth hat we gave up for him

A whole lot of folks here have no clue what the word bust means. He's a starting RB in his 6th year.
Are people really that dumb?

A whole lot of people? Most people in this thread have actually said he's at least decent.

He was terrible for the first three years, not just statistically, but just watching him run into the backs of his linemen and falling down was really depressing.

He IS now a decent player. I don't know what being in his sixth year proves. The guy rode the pine for much of his early years due to the aforementioned running into linemen.

It's funny, I personally never stumbled on to the SR site when I initially looked for a place to discuss Saints' football.

I guess I was lucky that I found this great place right away and didn't have to deal with the community over there - at least from what you guys are saying.

Since then I've maybe visited their site twice...




Oh, and I'd call someone like J. Russell, J. Manziel or A. Curry a bust - not someone like Ingram. And even with those guys the warning signs were there, so them being busts wasn't all that surprising in the end.

He's not a bust, but a valued contributor...maybe not worth the multitude of picks spent to acquire him... not that it would matter anyway in light of our stellar recent draft history.
