And it just looks like the difference between Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram is this: Ingram turns 5 yard gains into 2 yard gains and Thomas turns 2 yard gains into 5 yard gains.

I do have to say that Ingram seems to never get great blocking on his run attempts AND he's never left in the game long enough to get into rhythm. One run and out for the next 5-10 plays has to suck.

If Ingram has to run it 4-5 times in a row to get going, he's on the wrong team. At least while Brees is playing.

Which is why he's not a good fit for us.

But I don't think it's fair to dismiss him as "horrible" or "the worst RB in the league" according to some here.

This I am on the Ingram support train this year, but I was hoping Payton would keep him in for a full drive and give him the rock to get him started. Two carries then the bench for 8 plays isn't going to do it with this RB.

Yeah I know "he sucks" according to the ST board, but I think he has the tools in the right system. This just doesn't seem to be the one.
