And it's one of my biggest critiques of Bad-Sean/Mickster trading a first and a second round pick to acquire him - Why not use him? But Ingram shares the criticism in this as well as he didn't even hit 4 RuYds/carry in his first two years; and while not exclusive, he had ample carries... Ingram's first four years he was among the league's worst going down on initial contact; some on him, some was his exclusivity on short yardage... He must've rode the short bus at Bama because it took him nearly five years to break out and he didn't even scrape over 1000 RuYds till his sixth year... When his rookie contract period matured, so had his game and his greatest value was to the team that developed him, especially in that market year... But I just don't see extending him when he's turning 29yo in December and we'll be severely thin or non-existent at some positions when contracts expire... Built to win now, this year, just don't see moving Ingram unless Kamara and our RBs stay fresh and are giving us as good offensive balance as last season... And only then, I'd trade him to a desperate contender, preferably in the other conference and it likely be for a Day 2 pick... But, at the end of the season, I'm moving on to a younger runner and I'm taking that money and using it to extend other players... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
