I just want consistency. For a while it seemed like a wasted play to hand him the ball because he was getting stuffed for no gain or 1 yard. I'm not expecting 100 yards a game, but i just want 3 or 4 yards per carry almost every time
Look, you have a different NFL these days. These guys don't get 35 carries a game week in and week out. Ingram might see 10-15 snaps a game. He's sharing carries with Thomas and Sproles, not to mention the Saints run a pass-first offense. It's kind of difficult for one guy to be the workhorse when there is no consistent workload. That being said, 3.9 YPC is most definitely acceptable.
What you guys have to understand is that you have a square peg in a round hole with Ingram and the Saints offense. The Saints made a statement drafting him after the injury-plagued RB situation the year before Ingram was selected. They had to do it. So, they did it.
I don't know if this whole Ingram thing is a troll attempt, I don't come here that often anymore to know.

It always seemed to me that...
Ingram hate comes from a place of emotion.
Ingram non-hate/support comes from a place of logic.
Which should be given more weight?

Its the new endless Reggie Bush threads.
If Ingram had gone to LSU it would be...
1. CSP had to draft him.
2. He needs to be used right.
3. He's still learning.
4. He finally looked like a NFL runner the last half of the season.
5. Did you see his passion on the LSU sideline against bama? Dude was getting them and the crowd amped up!
6. He needs to be the bell cow which CSP will never let him be.
7. He has a avg's 3.9 a carry you dumbass bama fans.
8. He likes snow cones!!! Geaux Tigers shake the haters M.I.
