Gotta disagree. Ivory had solid stats but he ran standing straight up and it was usually in garbage minutes.
Ingram has been playing hurt and looks like he's lost a lot of weight/muscle since his days at Bama. I couldn't believe it was him yesterday.
I'm glad we got rid of Ivory while we could get something for him, but I'm 100% for letting Ingram's contract expire and moving on. I truly believe Thomas is the most underrated back in the league. He needs to be getting 15 carries a game... but that's not going to happen while Brees is QB. As long as a back can catch the ball and block he's going to be the primary guy in the Brees/Payton offense.
Something to consider: When the Saints won the SB Thomas was the leading rusher and got most of the carries AND the Saints were using a FB a lot. Boobie would be perfect because he's a 3rd and 1 guy and could lead Thomas or whoever we draft next May. Who knows. I'm ok with having a horrible running game as long as Brees can lead a comeback like that.
