I don't give a shite if he went to Bama. Now, the performance on the field is one thing. And he's not been a first round back production wise. I can argue many points to this--he wasn't healthy, the Saints don't run the ball 30 times with one back, the Saints have three very quality NFL RB's, Sean Payton goes with the hot hand more times than not, last year's situation was not easy to overcome (his second year).

If you want to be mad at Ingram, fine. But don't blame him for being a first round pick of the Saints. Blame the Saints for trading up to pick him (However, remember what happened to our RB's the year before? They HAD to do something drastic.) I just can't stand this board's infatuation with being waterheads on this subject.

exactly. He's never going to put up big numbers, the Saints just distribute the ball around too much.

I'm pissed we lost Butler though. We had horrible luck with injuries at LB last year and you saw what happened, especially early on in the year. Butler was going to be a starter so losing him is pretty big deal. But there actually was some guy on here the other day saying losing him wasn't that big of a deal, because he was a back up in Dallas or something to that effect.

what the hell is up with that?
