Mark Ingram (2 Viewers)

Nah, it's more than that. If he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have been the starter and main RB all this time. It's something personal IMO.
Thing is... I think if Ingram wasn't around for Payton to give the middle finger to, he'd start bullying someone else arbitrarily.  That's the value Ingram serves for sticking around.

 
If Payton was smart, he would use this cupcake match up to get Ingram going especially with an early commanding lead. 
He's so smart he has 15 trick plays lined up that involve Ingram, but he won't actually carry the ball!

Once they get up 35-0, Ingram will get 5-6 carries, late in the 4th Q..
I don't know.  I think that would be an invaluable opportunity to see what this Lasco kid has to offer.

Ingram can get carries of bottled water for the boys as they come off the field.  And perhaps a clipboard or two.

Actually, if he did get Ingram going today with a big game he would be able to show everyone that it was the benching decision last week that motivated Ingram.
It's plain as day that Payton does not like Ingram. Pure speculation on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a difference of opinion between Payton and the GM when they re-signed him, and he wants to show them that he was right and they didn't/don't need him.

 
On the receiving TD Ingram walked off the field pissed as hell.

EDIT: Maybe directed at a certain coach/RB situation?

Yeah he was fired up and walked straight to the sidelines and didn't celebrate on the field with his teammates at all.  He should've taken the ball to Payton and said "thanks for believing in me coach and letting me score."

 
He does this quite a bit- I don't blame him at all, but I'm guessing it's not helping him get out of the doghouse.
Nothing is going to help him outside of shining up Tim Hightower's spot on the bench and holding Payton's clipboard. He has one avenue left to him and we all know what it is ...

 
This has been the same pattern of frustration the last few years- great, he got a TD so he'll at least have a decent fantasy game, but it easily could have been his 3rd of the game.

 
Well unless Hightower goes down Ingram is going to be unstartable from here on out .... He is getting out touched 3 to 1 yuk

 
He has looked like a pretty selfish player this year.  Doesn't seem too concerned with the rest of the team, he's all about himself.

He couldn't take the ball to Payton because it squirted out and was picked up by the Niners.

 
Earlier in the year when Brees threw the TD to Kuhn instead of himself, he started jumping up and down throwing a tantrum.  While the rest of the team celebrated Kuhn's TD.

Same with the TD earlier today.  He scored it then stormed off the field while the rest of the team wondered who to celebrate with.

Plus a few other pouting moments.

 
After his last TD, you could hear him say "What the ##### wrong with these nigg...! I wonder who he is talking about?

That's way too much drama. I'm going to use this performance to try to move him to the team that picked up Hightower this week.
