Hi guys. I'm a huge Saints fan but as a Bama fan I just don't understand why many of you don't like Ingram so just wanted a little insight. I understand he was a little slow to get going. Was banged up often and wasn't very productive but I can't help but see that he's turned into a true talent on this team. He is only averaging 14 Att. Per game and still is 9th in the league in rushing. He actually has less carries than anyone in the top 10. No fumbles, which is huge and over 300 yards receiving as well. He is still on pace for 1000 yds. So what's the deal guys? Is it me being a homer or some of you guys being homers? Saints are my favorite pro team, I don't care where the player comes from, as long as they're producing. Tell me why Ingram is not producing?

We have been screaming all season to run the ball more

The Saints didn't sign the 'Bama O line to go with Ingram. D'oh!!

you're 2 years late on our hate. there's hardly been much ingram hate the past year and a half plus. He's improved and usually been okay enough, sprinkled with some very good stuff here and there. he's matured a bit since his first couple years. we've had bigger fish to fry elsewhere.

Please stop it 62Tiger. He is avg 4.62 per carry.

There's only a few who still keep it up, earn your keep is one.
He's turned into a productive guy, he's like Matt Forte lite

Chad, reading this board, I hate to see what you were calling him back then but I've seen many basically calling him a bum now or "serviceable" although with more carries we might be talking about the best rushing year in a long time. Hell he is on pace to become the first 1000 yard rusher since 2006.

Hey, that's a joke. I've never hated on Ingram and still don't.

Some people are never gonna like Ingram.
It's just how they are.

I like funny Chad but Mark Ingram is shining. Gurly has about the same rushing stats as Ingram with more carries total while being in two less games. I'm sure most of you would rather have gurly, I'm guessing, but sometimes what you want is already under your nose and you just can't see it.

Don't make me hate Ingram again. Leave well enough alone

Also I know many of you are LSU fans and I love me some Derrick Henry but LF7 will be and is the better back. Can Henry be successful, yes but baring injury or team LF7 will be better. Now that we have that out the way, question time.
Why is it that when LF7 played Bama and kept getting hit in the backfield it was the offensive line or bad play calling but when Ingram used to get hit in the backfield in his first few years with the saints, he was a bum? Many mentioned our offensive line but many people acted like he should have broken some of those tackles by 300+ linemen grabbing him the moment he gets the ball.

Well hate em. Who cares lol. I'm sure he's ok with it too. Should be real used to it by now.
Posted on 12/4/15 at 4:34 pm to mikeb0870
He's so far down on the list of Saints problems at this point that the hate has pretty much dried up this season.
Posted on 12/4/15 at 4:49 pm to mikeb0870
He's money in my PPR league.
Posted on 12/4/15 at 4:52 pm to mikeb0870
The first 1 1/2 years he was terrible. Since then CSP has been terrible using him. MI is a good NFL runner. Expectations of a first rounder was for him to be a great runner.
If you don't like him as a runner now you just hate bamers or don't watch enough pro football.

Most Ingram haters (these days) are just butthurt LSU fans. Not all, some of us have come around. In the first few years of his career he was bad though (consistent 3 YPC and outplayed by the rest of our RBs)
