I would not advocate for drafting a RB in the 1st Round unless he was absolutely special as recent history shows that good RB’s can be found late in drafts and even undrafted free agents.

Ingram is good and will be a very good pro! He will be this years Thurman Thomas when Thomas drop due to injury concerns. If I remember correctly Thurman went on to have a pretty good career…..

Multi-generation Bama fan and a diehard Steelers fan for 34 years. Hate the Pats. But I can recognize that the Pats are a contending team, so I’d rather see Ingram go there than a team on the bottom.

I see from all your nasty posts that you’ve found my response to your dipstick comment on the other thread. Little boy, it’s not my fault you made a fool of yourself commenting on something super simple that was still over your head.

My football knowledge speaks for itself … like the attention you boys give my posts

most of the 1st rounders are simply just college all stars rarely does a draft have more than 50 % of the 1st rounders stick in the league..

mock drafts are dumb. coutndowns to the draft are dumb. Kiper and mayock work hard,, for nothing.

McCoy who? You don’t mean that itty-bitty breakable quarterback Cart McCoy whose daddy pulled him from games every time someone hit him? My goodness, I’m surprised Daddy let him sit on the same stage with rough-and-tumble boys like Ingram, Gerhart, Tebow, and Suh. One of those fellas could have accidentally elbowed young Cart and wrecked his draft prospects

But I do respect how Colt is handling himself against tough pro teams like the Steelers now that Pops is no longer around to pull the plug

Hey, I popped from the womb into a Bama household but have owned just one Bama player jersey: Ingram’s. So I want good things for that kid. And I’m not taking Mike Lombardi’s word that his knee is an issue (geez, from the thumbs down on my comment, you’d think I was slamming Vince instead of Mike). Ingram plays with tremendous heart and has a great reputation in the community. I’d like to see him have a nice NFL career, even if it’s brief.

BTW, I’m too cynical to bet on any player being clean, but don’t be mouthing off about guys getting paid unless you can back it up. Talking out of their backsides may turn out to be expensive for some of those Rivals.com folks. It’s not nice to pick on Peaches

Ok Deb, your turn.

Miami could go many, many directions at #15…RB is NOT one of them. They are going to sign DeAngelo Willaims–who has already lobbied for the job–and draft a 2nd/3rd tier prospect in the 5th to 7th round.

Shame about Ingrim, but he’s clearly not “the next Emmett Smith.” He should be a solid back for whomever drafts him–unless he’s overdrafted–but he’ll have a 5-7 year career, not the 10+ year career of an Emmitt Smith.

BTW, Humpty Dumpty could have put up similar numbers against those two defenses even if rabid dogs weren’t chasing him.

Get it together. Put the homerism aside.

He’s a special player–as evidenced by the numbers he put up coming off that knee surgery. Lombardi couldn’t put up numbers like that if a pack of rabid dogs were chasing him.

***************************************
Damn, the numbers you refer to were put up against Duke, and Arkansas.
Did that register yet?

DUKE, yes, that powerhouse team!
And an Arkansas team that gave up an AVERAGE of 157 yards a game!!!!!!

Come on Deb, I expect more from you.
Your BAMA issued blinders are clouding your judgement on this one.

I hope Kave Krew is right and it means Mark winds up with a better team like the Pats. He’s a special player–as evidenced by the numbers he put up coming off that knee surgery. Lombardi couldn’t put up numbers like that if a pack of rabid dogs were chasing him.

With the 33rd pick, the Patriots select Mark Ingram…..
