With all the holes in the roster of this team, this is who they decide to load up with a big contract? Insane. Saints just seem like a totally lost and desperate franchise at this point. Tieing their future to a quickly ageing QB, a average, at best, RB, and a HC whose act has grown stale.

This average running back almost had 1000 yards last year while missing about 5 games or so. Had 805 yards from week 8 on. If he plays those 5 games he should have easily had 1200-1300 yards. Which puts him right behind Marshawn Lynch who just got a big payday. Not to mention he ran behind our injury riddled o-line and he became a pretty dang good pass blocker the last half of the season. So I think we got a steal on that contract.

I think they overpaid the guy. He has one good year at the end of his contract. Time will tell, but this could be another Graham deal - dude gets his money and then lays down on the job

Let me guess, though - LSU's football program is headed in the right direction?? Amazing coaching staff, awesome recruits, no holes on the roster??

Typical. I'm really over the "let's hate Ingram because he's a Bama RB!" train. The guy has been money for 1.5 seasons now for us. He is worth this deal.

4mil a year is not bad at all and it isn't a big contract. Dipshit.

I bet you're the guy who thinks we should trade our 3rd pick for Pat Willis like you did in Madden

His deal isn't a bank breaker by any stretch.

I completely agree with the OP now that I think about it.

Here's a breakdown of this stupid move:

He went to fricking Bama and he was hurt half of a season 4 years ago and he had that one fumble that one time in 4 years. 

To me those are pretty clear reasons why we don't want to pay a young, full of potential, 5 yrd averaging, sure handed, solid blocking, full service running back a cheap contract during the prime of his talent. 

The deal is even worse when you consider we just lost our franchise back Pierce Thomas and this Bama fricktard knows all the plays and has chemistry with the team and shows a tremendous amount of passion on the sidelines. 

Loomis is an idiot. Saints are done. Trade Brees, sell the team.

It's not a big contract and the Saints aren't winning shite until Payton convinces himself to run a more balanced offense. I still have my doubts this contract means that but it's a start.

Has Brees altered the space-time continuum and now ages at a faster rate than every other human being on this planet? Interdasting.

If by lost, you mean star-studded, and desperate, you mean horny (I mean, it's a team full of men, they've got to be horny) then yes, you are truly correct.

Now to be serious.

quote:

... a average, at best, RB

I'm not saying he's the next Emmitt Smith or anything, but he's a pretty solid runner. At least Emmitt had a killer offensive line cleaving through defensive lines. What has Ingram had? Two guys that won't be in the NFL in a year or two. A pretty decent Right Tackle, meathead A/B at center, and polar contrasting performances between two guys at LT. I don't see, given how crappy our line has played, how you can't call his performance over the last year and a half at least "above average".

quote:

HC whose act has grown stale.

Now this is the only point of your entire rambling argument that actually has any value. It could be argued that Sean Payton's ability to call the offense has been seriously checked the last two seasons. This year, and even last year with the odd road losses, that he has had issues getting his team motivated and focused on the games ahead.

Next time structure your arguments better instead of appearing like a complete jackass.
