Does this change Your mind about Ingram??

"Ingram, widely regarded as a disappointment or bust by the fan base, has the burden of carrying the Saints’ running game. Though fans are down on him, let’s start by saying he isn’t as bad as one might think. Trent Richardson, a top five pick out of Alabama, is regarded by many experts as one of the up and coming premiere backs in the league. However, when looking at the numbers, one can see that Ingram is slightly better. With roughly the same amount of carries, 278 for Ingram and 267 for Richardson, Ingram actually average more yards per carries at 3.9 versus Richardson’s 3.6. Also, keep in mind that Ingram has only made 9 starts compared to Richardson’s 15. Ingram has one less touchdown and 126 more yards. So right off the bat, Ingram isn’t as bad as the fan base thinks he is." :scratch:

I"m not and never was an Ingram basher. I actually love the draft pick and what we gave up. However, I was not aware of little stats like this. Especially the touchdowns and yards stats! :plus-un2: Makes my perspective change about his ultimate potential. What about you? (Sorry to the ones who act sour towards Ingram threads. This is my first one so please dont read/respond if it bothers you:ezbill:)
