With AP the option isn't there.

This was the rub against Ingram when we drafted him (aside from injury). You could tell what we were or were not going to do by which RB was in (Chris Ivory as well).

AP would not be happy as a decoy, it wouldn't work long anyway, he doesn't catch like Ingram and Kamara (or PT/Sproles/Bush).

Great player in wrong system with too much pride to be a role player and too old to learn new tricks.
