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?
