Interesting stats on Mark Ingram
I didn't know this
Ingram is 3rd all time in Saints history for rushing yards. He needs 30 yards to eclipse George Rogers for 2nd in franchise history. He has a legitimate shot at catching Deuce McAllister for the top spot eventually, needing 1,858 more rushing yards. His 5.1 yards per carry last year is best all time in franchise history, single season, for a 200 carry minimum. If you drop the carry minimum to 100, it’s still 4th best all time in franchise history, behind only Hokie Gajan, Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory. Wanna know the list of running backs in the NFL that have more rushing yards than Mark Ingram the last three years? DeMarco Murray, Le’Veon Bell, LeSean McCoy, Lamar Miller, Frank Gore. That’s it. He’s 6th in the entire league in rushing yards the last three years. I had one fan tell me just today on twitter that Mark Ingram “goes down way too easily”. He led the NFL in yards after contact last year. I guess that means every single other back in the NFL sucks even worse when it comes to power? The Mark Ingram hate has to stop | The Saints Nation |

Never in trouble, always gives 100%, catches just as well as he runs. |

Re: Interesting stats on Mark Ingram
I know Ingram doesn't get a lot of love from Saints fans, but, I just keep thinking of Sean Payton saying that the only thing holding Mark Ingram back is Sean Payton.
That tells you he isn't going anywhere. Payton loves him. |

Re: Interesting stats on Mark Ingram
It's time for Ingram to get the respect he deserves. The excessive criticism he gets from fans is totally unwarranted. He's done nothing but give 100% and be a total role model off the field.

Re: Interesting stats on Mark Ingram
IMO, this play is why so-called Saints fans have no love for Ingram.

I find myself having to post about ingram once a week, bc people on this forum dont trully appreciate what he does for our team. He has gotten better year by year, he lead the league in YAC last year, and in the past 3 years there are only 5 running backs with more yards then Mark Ingram has, and lets face it, if he had the carries all the other running backs had he would have a chance to lead them all, or at least be top 3, It makes me sick, people need to do their homework first before they are quick to say we dont need em.

That didn't have **** to do with his alma mater...

Re: Interesting stats on Mark Ingram
No, first round picks make it happen; and Ingram has only recently played like a first round pick...
But Payton should've put the ball in the hands of his best player - Brees... |

Re: Interesting stats on Mark Ingram
It's about expectation vs reality. You can pull out all the stats you want, facts don't tell the whole story of how perceptions are formed.
And it's about perception. My perception is that he doesn't have the best vision, he misses holes so big that you could drive an 18 wheeler through them. Secondly, apart from some long runs, he's not consistently making those yards after contact in the way PT23 could. You're supposed to take the extremes into account when dealing with averages. If he were that great on 3rd down, why isn't he THE guy SP goes to in must-get short yardage situations? Usually it's Brees throwing from the shotgun, cause Ingram's burned him too many times. He's lucky he's actually begin to perform, a lot of players don't get 3 year cushions to get up to speed. There are worse, but certainly he's not lived up to his *potential* |
