Should he thank Brees, and other member of the saints any in his hof speech?
This is like giving Emmitt Smith the "one of the RBs in history" crown when he played on the early 90s cowboys. Not saying ingram isnt a good back or has a support team like smith had, but he's no Barry Sanders.
Splitting time with others like kamara only helps ingram to stay fresh.

It is no longer a running back's league unless you are truly an elite runner that can take over a game and there are very few of those left.
His stats should tell you that running back, in general, aren't very effective in the NFL anymore. Through 11 weeks, he has 800 yards and is fourth in the league. That is 80 yards a game but his ypc is good hovering around 5. In fact, no one is over 100 ypg on the ground this year while there are two receivers over 100.

Where did anyone in this thread claim that Ingram is a hof back, or is in Barry Sanders's league?

He’s gonna be the only franchise yardage leading bust in NFL history

He is a great guy as well.
A lot of people talk about how athletes get paid in college.
This kid had to fly to Michigan to visit his (I am pretty sure) mother. The cheapest ticket he could afford was out of Birmingham. So he traveled to the city with a former student of mine and slept on the couch -- he could not afford the hotel. Anyone who knows Birmingham knows that the Woodlawn area at that time was not the life of luxury.
I am an AU fan through and through but I like this UA kid, but I trust my former student and he and his mom said you would never meet a more humble and sincere young man.
I hope he has many years of success

To Hell with MI for promoting a lie. To Hell with you for being too ignorant or cowardly to admit it.

Going back to the start of the 2014 season, the former Heisman Trophy winner has racked up 29 rushing touchdowns (tied for third most league-wide) and 3,582 yards (sixth), yet he’s remained mostly underappreciated by fans and the media at large, who have never consistently counted him among the NFL’s elite. Hell, even his own team has seemed to undervalue him—despite Ingram’s career year in 2016, when he rushed for more than 1,000 yards on 5.1 per carry and scored 10 total touchdowns, the Saints still went out and inexplicably signed another early-down back in Adrian Peterson over the offseason.
Through 11 weeks, Ingram now ranks fourth in the league in rushing yards (806), is tied for first in rushing touchdowns (8), and is fourth in yards per attempt (5.2). He’s first in Football Outsiders DYAR (total value), first in DVOA (value per play), and third in success rate (successful running plays divided by total running plays). He’s third in yards after contact per rush (3.2) per Pro Football Focus, and tied for second in the NFL in 15-plus yard runs (11) with a breakaway percentage of 36.6, fourth best in the NFL. And he’s done all that while sharing time with Kamara and (briefly) Peterson. By pretty much any metric, Ingram’s put himself among the elite this year.
Ingram is a complete player, effective in the passing game (he’s caught 159 passes for 1,082 yards out of the backfield over the past four years) and explosive on the ground. The first thing that stands out about Ingram as a runner is the decisiveness with which he gets downhill. He’s a north-south back—he ranks third in NFL Next Gen Stats’ Efficiency Rate metric (3.33 yards), a stat that reflects the total distance a running back travels per rushing yard gained—and frequently carries the ball up the gut for the Saints, following a lead blocker or a pulling guard to pick up tough yards in the middle of the field.
He does all this at a fraction of the salary of some of the league’s other premier backs. Ingram re-signed with the Saints in March 2015 for a four-year deal worth $16 million, a contract that, at its current value, makes him one of the biggest bargains in the NFL: His $4 million salary in 2017 ties for 18th among all running backs, his $6.1 million guaranteed money at signing is 16th highest, and his $1.525 million average guaranteed money per year ranks 25th.

Three years of up and down and injuries. From 2014 on he’s been among the best in league. Period.
If he played college ball at LSU the perspective of some Saints fans toward him would be entirely different (i.e. accurate insy ad of skewed)

The last 2.5 years he has been great for the Saints.
