I like to look to the future. Brees isn't going to be able to carry this team forever. At some point he will have to take that John Elway role where he will need a running back to carry the load. PT will be past his prime by then.

At that point I would hope that Ingram has an Thomas Jones or Cedric Benson type career. Slow start then hits his stride as a workhorse. He's a similar type back as those guys so I hope we see the same type of career progression.

Again, this is what I hope...

That's actually a great comparison for Ingram. I live near the Chicago area and have seen those two play quite a bit. Neither of those two backs could break tackles much but could get what the offensive line opened for them decent enough. Sadly, that's pretty much the realistic ceiling I see for Ingram at this point.
