Trade Mark Ingram!?!

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 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 ...

he's not. He isn't bad, but he has no burst and isn't something that can't be replaced.

You could not be more wrong. He has excellent burst, he doesn't have top end speed.

He still has one of the best ever burst measurables (0-10 yards) in NFL combine history.

Yeah, uh okay, no one said he was great. But to say he has 0 burst shows a complete lack of NFL knowledge.

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.
