How can the Saints staff be so stupid?

Does this not clearly show who should be/have been running the ball?? With by far the minimum amount of carries, Ivory has the rest of his stats sure looking pretty even or close to the others who have had 2-3 times the carries. Not to mention his yards per carry(Which if i remember right has always been up there). Oh and he has longer runs than the other two with 1/3 the carries. Don't get me wrong PT is great. He's a huge threat running and receiving the ball and when he gets consecutive touches he seems to come alive and start busting tackles and awwwin everyone in the stadium. It just seems as if he comes in makes a couple beast runs, completely runs over 2 defenders then gets benched so Ingram can run(Or put his head down and run strait forward whether there is a hole there or not). Ingram never Wows anyone with any of his runs. I can't recall a run he's made where i was like damn that's a beast right there. They're plain ugly. And boring. I know this has been posted a bazillion times but it bothers the hell out of me how you have 2 obviously better running backs, but to the Saints staff, Ingram is the man. Even the announcers always seem to talk good about him? If i were Ivory I would ask for a trade at the end of the season. He is a great running back in his prime and isn't being given the opportunity he deserves. He could be a big name back put in the right place. As far as PT he's been there done that and he's a die hard Saint. I never want to see him leave.

I just don't understand it at all.

Let's put Chase Daniel at running back is what you're saying?

I agree. Chase Daniel should be getting more carries.

PT should be getting most of the carries. Ivory should be getting about half as many carries as PT. Ingram needs to just sit down and shutup until he puts up.

Nice YPC Daniel

Ivory would've gotten more carries if he didn't have ball security issues during camp and the pre-season. It was stated during training camp that Cadet was outperforming him. He practiced lazy and I'm sure that put him in the dog house.

I think the Saints gave him a really good opportunity by letting an UFA play in the first place.

Not saying I agree with you or disagree, but he's a professional football player who has gotten a pretty big opportunity.

At this point, losing is the smartest thing to do!

I say we trade Brees for Ladainian Tomlinson straight up, and then sign Gus Frerrotte to run the offense. #AutomaticSuperBowlFTMFW.
