He's averaging 5.7 YPC this year, which leads the NFL.

He's averaging 5.7 YPC over the last 16 games. This isn't a fluke anymore. He produces with carries.

He started off the ATL game with 11 yards on his first four carries

Statistically irrelevant sample size.

Murray's first 4 carries in each game

SF - 20 and a fumble Finished with 118 (5.4 ypc)
Tenn - 14 and a fumble Finished with 167 (5.8 ypc)
Rams - 18 Finished with 100 (4.2 ypc)
Saints - 10 Finished with 149 (6.2 ypc)
Texans - 11 Finished with 136 (4.4 ypc)
Seahawks - 11 Finished with 115 (4.0 ypc)
Giants - 27 Finished with 128 (4.6 ypc)
Redskins - 17 Finished with 141 (7.4 ypc)

Ingram surely didn't look like the best RB in Detroit.

Yes, I'd agree that a RB coming back from injury might need an adjustment period.

Green Bay had to lean heavily on Lacy because Rodgers got injured.

He averaged 19.4 carries per game when Aaron Rodgers played last year and 17.8 for the season...

BTW, it hasn't been mentioned, but where ingram really catches my attention is his acceleration...he just darts through those holes so quickly, then slows down at the second level (because he's not running a 40 yard dash)

he's no 4.3 burner, but he hits his top speed about as quickly as anyone

Khiry and Pierre produce as well. If you are forgetting, I said Ingram should be the lead dog but that Khiry and Pierre should get mixed in as well.

Valid point but Ingram didn't finish better than Khiry in the Atlanta game, did he?

How many times has he topped 15 carries a game this year so far? Once. That's it. Lacy is currently averaging 13 carries per game right now and Lynch is averaging 16 per game. You want Payton to use Ingram like Lacy and Lynch are currently being used? There you go. 13-16 carries per game.

Don't be such a coward and dance around with words like "they." Step up and be specific. Are you including me in that "they" you just used? I'm an LSU fan but take a guess at how often I bother to read and post on the Tiger Rant, Recruiting Board or Gameday Board. Yeah, I'll do a Bama fark in a heartbeat but I'll do an LSU one just as quickly. Have something significant to back up your flimsy cop-out claim of "they just Bama haters." Again, that is if you are including me in your general "they."
