I'm no fan of Ingram but I hope he gets every touch for the remainder of the season.

I want a high draft pick and I'm quite confident our offense will continue to fail as long as Markie Mark is our go to guy.

I just hope Brees doesn't get killed by having a RB who can't block.

Khiry goes down and your continued hatred of Ingram is hilarious.

He's currently a top 5 rb in total yards, 9th in rushing yards, t-12th in ypc for rbs (same as Freeman; 9th if you only take 100+carries), and yet he's 13th in attempts.

If anything Ingram has been one of the players who's played the hardest and best this year. He doesn't even get up and celebrate like an asshat anymore.

Dude it is obvious for 2 reasons:

1) To throw unblocked poorly developed swing screens, multiple times in a row.

2) On any third and long situation we throw an under route before the line of scrimmage into double coverage.

Why do we have millions tied up in RBs, period?

Khiry was capable. Cheap RBs are a dime a dozen. A lot of RBs could thrive in our system

This isn't an attack on Ingram bc he has been fine. But we should never spend on RB with so many other needs.

And is, for some reason, awarded with all of NINE carries.

This is where I disagree, though. Look at the Saints offense through the Payton years: Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles. Those guys got tons of looks, tons of touches in the passing game. I thought Spiller made perfect sense for the Saints.

But here we are, and the Saints are paying him Ingram money for Khiry touches. It's insane.
