Deserves better? He's making 4 million a year to be one of the most average RB's in the league.

Explain please.

In all fairness, Hightower was much more effective in the KC game and ingram hasn't had very good rushing totals for a while.

Hightower vs KC - 5 carries, 39 yards, 7.8 average
Ingram last 3 games; 18 for 56 yards, 16 for 51 yards and 16 for 62 yards.

Ingram is getting plenty of carries, but when he is running into the lineman, tripping over or just not picking a gap he is barely gaining 3 yards a carry, whereas Hightower was ripping off runs of 7-8 yards each time.

Wait..so you guys don't like Ingram's signature moves of running into his blockers & tripping over grass? I must be in the wrong site!

Or that Fournette would play better than Ingram?

Because they are two different RB's and Fournette is better

I've been one of his biggest supporters for years, but when a guy who's been out of football for 4 years (hightower) is ripping off 12-15 yard runs on his first few carries and ingram is tripping over for 2 yards a pop it might be time to look elsewhere.

Name the scenario where a trade would actually work within both salary caps, even if it was logical. There are tons of factors involved that most fans, and lots of Pretend GM's fail to consider when banging on their pans and protesting.

Is 4 million a year really that much? I mean these days anyway? I like Ingram. And no I'm not a Tide fan. I think he's a quality back when he's actually used. I guess the fumble was pretty lame but that's rare for him.

Let's see? He is the tied as the 15th-16th highest paid RB in the NFL. The NFL has 32 teams. His pay is the NFL average per team.

There you go!

And this is exactly why I think he deserves better. We've got some really dumb fans.

I'd say who wants him, and I'm not saying that to get Fournette either. I just don't think he's all that. MAYBE he is, but we will never see it. ( trade him for someone on defense )
Again year in and year out I say the same thing.... defense defense defense. And still they all suck.
