re: To Alabama fans (Mark Ingram)

First, Bama fans are just as much to blame. Yall put Ingram on a pedestal and set him up as a target. That just make it easy for LSU fans when the kid did not perform. It isn't just one fan base.

Second, the Saints made a horrible mistake. Trading two picks (1st and 2nd I think) to get a player who does not fit its offensive system was dumb. The Saints could have picked in the later rounds or gone free agent for its type of running back.

Last, Ingram was injuried his rookie year. Maybe this goes back to his injuries in college. Maybe he was a bit of damage goods. If Ingram had gone to any other team and they tried to use him as much as Bama did, he might have nevered healed.

I am glad he is better and glad he performed good last night. Overall, I think he is gone this year, unless the Saints change its offense profile. This has been a better situation for Ingram than for the Saints and that is probably why he is called a bust.
