AP whined like a bitch when he didnt get the ball 20 times a game
Ingram is a good back
Kamara looks legit as hell


Ill take the duo we have over a selfish old guy

Pretty much

That and he is too talented to just keep as your RB3. Like there could have sat in him in case of injury and never played him like most 3rd RBs but that probably wasn't what they promised him when he signed

Peterson can't catch or pass protect. That's why he wasn't used much.

They catch passes and pass block.

Peterson isn’t good at either.

They signed AP before they drafted Kamara. It's really hard to play 3 RBs. I think Peterson will do well in AZ
Even though he was signed before Kamara, it still didn't make sense. I know people on the Saints talk hate Ingram but he's a good runner and can handle the load; he wasn't just gonna become a third down back. And as Peterson's splits show, he needs 15+ carries in a game

I'll never understand why some Saints fans hate Ingram. He's really good.

It did make sense because they let Hightower walk and Ingram is always hurt.

I definitely get that vibe.

All started when his best year was a contract year.

Dude can't catch. Saints offense requires RBs to be able to catch.

Not a good fit for offense. Payton hates a one feature back. Prefers multiple backs.

If this was the rant, someone would be suggesting that we run the wishbone and use all three at the same time

Wrong type of back for our offense. Marginal pass blocker, not as good a pass catcher as our other 2 backs, really needs more carries to get into his rhythm, typically. The other 2 backs compliment our offensive scheme better, in a nutshell.

The trade was a win win and I think everybody ends up happier.

The better question is why the Saints went and got Peterson IMO.
Did Kamara surprise them after the fact?

Ingram: 25 carries for 114 yds and 2 TDs 5 catches for 36 yards Kamara: 10 carries for 75 yards 4 catches for 12 yards I think we'll be okay


This with the fact ingram and kamara are lightyears better than Peterson at pass protection
