this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Fan hate? Really? Nothing else? I know it has always pained you to hear criticism of your bama players, but this is Saints football we're talking about, and it wouldn't matter to me if he were from LSU. Ingram is ...

Fan hate? Really? Nothing else?

I know it has always pained you to hear criticism of your bama players, but this is Saints football we're talking about, and it wouldn't matter to me if he were from LSU. Ingram is not the first player to come under fire for underwhelming play.

If he goes to another team and runs into the back of his linemen, those fans will criticize him just as loudly and probably more.

We have some pretend GM's who pretend to be GM's (you). This is getting old.

Edit- (Meant as a reply to AsylumGuido)

You know what a football burst is? It's about finding the hole quickly, making a decisive move and accelerating. It's not about lining up in shorts and running 10 yards past a few cones. Ingram picks and plods his way around and misses holes as much as anyone I have seen. Give him a big enough hole and he'll run through it, sure. Is that a skill? He has good strength to push through piles but is easily tripped, which shows a lack of balance and awareness.

He's not a bell cow. He's best suited in a complimentary role, in my opinion. His supporters (such as yourself) have said for a while now that he needed more carries. Well... He's getting them now. Does he look any different?

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

So again, how does he deserve better, when he is paid well over value? I'll give you another crack at it.
yep, 4 million is a lot to drop when you can get the same from an undrafted rookie

Fournette will not be a very good player in the NFL.

Still saying that, huh? Ok, wise guy... Give one reason why? Because of the school he attends? Because he doesn't run for 284 yards in every game? He doesn't run over enough players or out run entire defenses often enough?

Ingram lacks vision, which was never a problem in bama...

Well Guido, you keep doing it... I tried to have hope for you, but you'll officially be the first person on my block list. Congrats, because you earned it!
