The journey of Chris Ivory: Dismissed, discarded and, finally, celebrated

I honestly don't know if Robinson could do any better than Ingram because he simply does not get enough carries. So even if Robinson has slightly better numbers then the argument is we only saw him in a limited role, or the defense changed their game plan, or the defense pulled some of their starters out. The only way to know what we have is to give K.Rob, Ingram's amount of snaps and let Ingram get K.Rob's amount of snaps. How anyone could even argue against trying this, when we have the 31st ranked rushing offense is beyond me. What's the worst that could happen, we drop 1 spot?:covri::covri:

Something to bear in mind. Payton has "roles" for his players, primary and permanent backup. Once they're marked as a backup, even if the primary player leaves, they won't be promoted to primary. A new primary will be drafted or signed in FA, and the backups passed over.

Reggie and Ingram were always going to get the carries and the money. Players like Pierre, Ivory, Khiry, and Josh Hill will always be held back by getting few carries, as little pay as possible, and will play ST. It will be interesting to see how Payton has classified snead. I have a feeling Snead will want to get paid sooner rather than later.
