His stats are truly a reflection of the blocking schemes and the offense the saints run. Don't read into it much

It doesn't matter. He went to bama so therefore the only yards he gets were given to him by the refs. He fumbles a lot. Oh and he single handedly caused the oil crisis.

i'd give up my left nut to have amari cooper on this team.

we could have ingram for $4M.. or a guy like jeremy hill for $600k. doug martin $1.3M. McFadden for $900k. le'veon bell $700k. ryan matthews $1M..

frankly we're overpaying for an injury prone back.. overpaying by about 400%

Stupid is stupid. But insane is saying the same thing over and over again despite facts to the contrary.

Almost everyone in this thread has said he was a disappointment his first two years but much better his last two.

His stats and all our eyes except you say different.

Want to back your 400% case with facts or even try and refute the facts and stats laid out in your own thread?

Hill is on a rookie contract paid 940k/yr and he's not a complete back. I rather pay Khiry Robinson league minimum for 3.2YPC than Hill and his 3.6YPC

Martin is a free agent about to get PAID more than Ingram and was on a rookie contract paying him 1.7mil/yr. He had a good rookie year and year 4, but his 2-3 year were injury ridden and so bad because he was so out of shape it makes cheeseburger eddie look good.

McFadden is getting paid 1.5mil/yr and is the definition of handicap if we're calling Ingram injury prone.

Bell is getting paid 1mil/yr on a rookie contract and will get PAID after this year.

Mathews is getting paid 3.7mil who's less productive and just as injury prone as Ingram

But ignore all of the non-rookie contract players who are at Ingram's "caliber" in terms of a complete back.

you made the internet today Nashville

Would you rather have a single "critical" fumble and that being his only fumble or 3 fumbles scattered throughout the year (may or may not be a critical one)

The answer is none of the above. What's crazy is I didn't bash Ingram in my post, but closed minds assume I did. Also, 3 fumbles in a year is a lot for a pro running back.

Unless you deflate the ball and become green Ellis, fumbles will happen. I'll take ingram's ball handling any day

Ingram had 2 fumbles this year. Of which only ONE was lost. He was 27th in the NFL among RBs. That's not really a lot.

The 3 fumbles mentioned were in reference the question that was asked, not Ingram. Even though he has had 3 in one season.

I see a lot of guys on rookie deals who won't be making that much longer... you mention McFadden who has been injury prone his entire career and still hasn't had a season like Ingram....

You can't be this dumb.

Hill, Martin, and Bell are on rookie contracts.

McFadden and Matthews have big time injury history and Ingram is much better than both.

Let's compare Ingrams contract to Arian Foster, Jamal Charles, Demarco Murray and some other RBS not on their rookie deal.

It's amazing that people bitch about Ingrams contract when we're paying guys like Spiller, Browner, Byrd, and a punter the kind of money we are.

Ingram isn't better than any of those backs. And he's not the only guy we are wasting money on
