Hillis, Hillis has proven he can be a stud, Ingram cant handle the load and is a bust in the Knowshon Moreno mold, and will have sproles there till the end of time so its guaranteed he'll never be a stud
FBG has gotten to be such a shtick machine now, absent any serious thought or analysis. It's flimsy logic to say Ingram can't handle the load when he's played only 7 games and is stuck in a 3-man timeshare. Sproles is no more of a threat to take away touches as most other RB situations outside of MIN, JAX, PHI and a few others who have the one bellcow back. Ingram's biggest problem is that Peyton's got him in no versatile packages yet, while he learns protection schemes. Brees's protection is the primary concern. Talk to any NFL personnel guy, and they look at Ingram on the field and defenses know that it's a run play 90% of the time. Thomas and Sproles have an advantage here in that they're mixed in with any number of formations/plays that keep the defenses on their toes. This all will change.
I mean,
the kid went 14 for 91 his last game before getting nicked up. He'll be fine.
