Because every other RB the last 2 seasons on the Saints have done well and Ingram has not. Clearly he's setup for failure.




Will never understand the argument/pitch:

"The RB who won the Heisman trophy, a Natty, and got drafted in the first round after playing at Bama for three years isn't really that talented so you (very talented HS RB) should not go there."

That would just make me want to go to Bama more. Hell after that guy "busted" according to these same people the next Bama back went #3 overall.

I dont either, but I wasn't talking about that at all.

Bottom line for Fournette is his pitch to stay home is "we have set this up perfectly just for you to be the guy as soon as you step on campus, stay home, make your parents happy and be the man for 3 years before going in the 1st round of the NFL draft". Period, that's all I would say over and over.

It's funny again to assume any kind of success has absolutely ANYTHING to do with production in the NFL

Julius Peppers and Lawrence Taylor both went to North Carolina well frick it we should all go home no one can ever recruit an elite pass rusher ever again because NC has had 2 of the greatest in my lifetime

Is this the case? HEEEELLLLLLLL NOOOOOO!!!!!

A college coaching staffs goal for the player is to get him drafted and IN the league then the player has to assert themselves. The higher the draft position the better the job, after that it is totally up to the player and up to the coaching staff

By that argument Fournette isn't going to Bama, Fournette isn't going to LSU he shouldn't consider us

He should go to Tennessee (Arian Foster), or Rutgers (Ray Rice), hell even Boise St (Doug Martin)

Again this isn't the case
