I believe the majority of Saints fans respect MI. Rough first few years, but broke through.
I do wonder however, how much SP respects him. Sean has shown a pretty quick hook with Ingram in the past. Might be even quicker with a HOF backup on the sidelines

Most fans respects him and he really does nothing wrong. Ingrams biggest problem is the expectations placed on him because he won a Heisman, people expected the next AP or Emmit Smith and got a guy that couldn't break 1000yds in his first couple of seasons. It was the same thing with Bush, everybody expected Barry Sanders but got something else.

Those expectations were limited more by scheme than ability. Payton has always used the RB by committee approach. It is who he is and will always be. It is like Michael Jordan back when he played for UNC. It was said the only person that could hold him to under 30 points was Dean Smith.
