Lmao. Top 10 back. I wish he was the #1 back in the NFL...I don't care what college he came from. You guys are unbelievable defending his performance as a saint. He is having a pretty good year after many bad ones. Again, in an offense the focuses on the pass. To compare him to the backs you just compared him to is laughable.

I'm a Republican. Again, until this year he has not performed well for the saints. What were some of the stats other saints backs have had?

When you don't have 5 all American lineman holding less talented defenses all game they get exposed as busts

It is actually 4.4. Pierre Thomas had an average of 4.8 as a saint. Saints running backs should have a very good ypc given that teams are geared to stop the pass. Some of you guys are just incredible. Ingram isn't a terrible back. As I said he is having his best year and is a career average back to slightly below. The fact you can't see the difference in a pass happy offense and traditional offense says it all. There are several backs that have come and gone as a saint while ingram was there that have better overall ypc as a saint.

Ingram is not a bust. He has been very productive for the past two years and fought through some injuries and lack of being used in Saints offense to his strengths. Trent Richardson was a complete bust, and so far Derek Henry not meeting his expectations as a NFL back with Titans.

Derrick Henry , Trent Richardson , Mark Ingram . Whatever they were taking at Bama is not working in the NFL by a long shot Heismsn Trophy winners my goodness I don't think the three put together gained 1,500 yards . Something is not right their OL & DL kill in college the NFL they are a joke something is not right they are taking something at Bama


Richardson is the only real bust of that group. There weren't very high expectations for Yeldon. Ingram has been pretty good this year. Henry is a rookie. Why does any of this matter. You want to rag on their NFL careers because we couldn't beat them in college?

It's 4.5. Better than Emmitt Smith's career average. Better than Eric Dikersons career average. Better than Thurman Thomas' career average. I can go on. Ingram is a top 10 back. With more carries he easily goes over 1000-1200 every year. He gets hate around here because of the Bama penis envy LSU fans have.




This. People are obsessed with Bama so much they hate on their good players. . It's sad

It's really simple. The NFL calls holding no matter what team is playing.





You can't expect those guys to dominate the NFL like they did the NCAA. That said, most of them did or are doing just fine on Sundays and can't be called busts at all.

What bothers me is we have the most players in the NFL, they mostly improve greatly from college, and we have only a few shite bowls the last six years to show for it.

Well they all have National Championship rings and 2/3 have Heisman Trophies. None of them would have any of that if they had chosen to play for Les Miles.

This thread is full of fricking stupidity. Ingram is having great year even splitting carries. Henry is behind a good back and is rookie. Richardson isn't even in the league so why are people talking about him. This is Lsu board. Get a life loser or at least get your facts straight
