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 never said he was terrible I just want to see more consistency. It seems like he has a good run and then will have one or two carries for no gain that limits the play calling. I'm not a hater I am just saying things that I'd like to see him improve
