Fournette is fricking trash.

He won't last 3 years in the NFL.

The night this guy eclipsed 1000 yards they felt up their cousins for the first time. Give them a break, ok?

Jeremy Hill is better than Ingram


Ingram has more yards (850 vs 831) and averages 1+ more yards per carry (5.1 vs 3.9).

so is Spencer Ware


Ware has 10 more yards and averages 0.8 yards less per carry (4.3).

It was just one of those years they just gave it someone. Years like that they should skip when everyone is average.

Fournette may not be trash but he's not the next coming of AP as people have made him out to be. AP sees holes better and cuts 100x better than LF7. LF7 can probably truck people better in college but I doubt that will go far in the NFL.

LF7 will be a serviceable back in the NFL. Probably a top 15 back in the NFL, much like Ingram is this year. The only difference is you don't like Ingram cause he played for Bama and you think LF7 is a God because he played at LSU.

What if you just don't like Ingram because your professional team (one you don't have) traded up to get him and he hasn't produced ONE 1,000 yard season since entreating the NFL.

To not be able to rush for 63 yards/ game is pathetic and shows he is an overhyped heisman winner

A) I do have a pro team I cheer for as I'm from Atlanta.
B) You're cherry picking stats to favor your argument. He got injured and that limited him the last 2 seasons or else he would have gotten over 1k in rushing.
C) You're a Saints fan? How many times do you pass the ball a game? 50-75? Yea, those are not touches for Ingram and therefore can't get the yards you desire.

That's like me saying Brees is a shitty QB if the Saints only threw the ball 10 times a game and he only got 75 or so yards passing.
You're logic is simply flawed. Ingram is a top 10 RB this season, consistently.

Well, Brees would be a shitty QB on that day. But when you add up cumulatively each's games; then we can see exactly who the shitty player is. Collectively. Amarite?

Also, are you implying that one cannot be a bust if injured?

Sigh. No, not at all. If we're talking HOF, sure, but we're (well I am, at least) talking about top 10 RBs of 2016. Ingram is one of them.

This argument is really dumb as shite, most saints fans simply will never like Ingram cause he went to bama and face fricked them while he was there. Then he cheered for Bama while they continuously face fricked them in the 2011 Championship and years after that.

Trade him. Please, be my guest. He's one of the better players on the Saints in 2016 so have at it. Continue to be the 'Aints and do dumb shite. As a Falcons fan, I support this move of mediocrity.

Personally, I have nothing against Fournette's decision. But Orgeron could have helped him by making the decision himself and saying Fournette isn't medically cleared to play. Keep the discussion off the draft.

Which also means defenses can't key nor gameplan on Ingram. So comparing him against running backs that tote the mail on a regular basis in more traditional schemes will only yield inaccurate and uneven conclusions. Ingram's yards can be achieved easier because the defenses are worried about the aerial threat but that also limits Ingrams ability to attain a lot of rushing yards. There are clearly pros and cons to the scheme.
I'm not an 'Aints fan so they can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
