Boston Scott Made The Team

I still stand by what I said. If he emerges into a Sproles by week 5 and the market value goes way up for MI, we are price gouging for a 3rd or 2nd. I could also see Meridith being trade bait. Those two trades would give us a clear path to bundle to get back in the first.

Beast, he's really not a exactly a Sproles-type back when you look at his style of running; the only comparison is height...

Some of you may not remember Joe Morris of the G'nats in the 80s, but Scott is more of a short power back in that comparison...

For later generations, while Scott isn't the talent level of Barry Sanders, but he's that style running back, low center gravity, powerful...

If Ingram and his agents come out of the gate asking for too much money next season, Scott can step in and get 1300 RuYds...

LOL, neaux...

But, let me know when you come in for a game and I'll show you the watering holes to get that way...

'76, it took Payton six seasons to finally get 1000+RuYds out of Ingram in a Season; he's finally tailored to our offense, but we shouldn't overpay...

I remember Joe and his little brother Jamie who played for the Redskins, unfortunately. LOL

I think maybe instead of Sanders we say Maurice Jones Drew. He was about 5'7" I think, but fits the same mold.

Beast,

Mark isn't going to get traded & Boston won't turn into Sproles by week 5. Why are you so fixated on getting rid of a guy who is a above average player and can help this team go deep in the post season for 2018?

Not sure if you read that link Guido or Oak posted earlier this off season, but the failure rate of draft picks is way too high to risk trading a star player for a couple of draft picks.

While that's true, the flip side of the equation is that Ingram is free at the end of the season. So it becomes a questions of what happens then:

1. Likely overpay on another contract?
2. Let him go and price himself in the open market?
3. Get something in return before the clock runs out?

I don't pretend to know the right answer.`But if the Saints determine that they cannot afford to pony up, then isn't it at least sensible to think about what you can get while you can?
