This whole situation will be such a nightmare if we sign Ingram and pass on Josh Jacobs. Just fucking sign Bell

I'm honestly gonna be pissed if we sign Ingram. We already have a thumper in Gus that costs way less and don't really see how Ingram is a major upgrade.

For the right price I would be pretty happy with Ingram on a two or three year deal. Then use the draft picks on more important positions.

Bold prediction that has no chance of happening: we sign Bell and trade for OBJ.

Gus is a poor man's Blount if even that. He really isn't that good. Dixon easily out played him. Gus' numbers come purely from quantity rather than having a good average. Ingram is a workhorse that can make big plays and catch the ball. Gus is a short yardage specialist.

Ingram was targeted in the receiving game 29 tames with 25 catches and is also a good blocker. He's much better than Gus. I agree, at the right price I'm good with Ingram. That being said, I'd rather draft Jacobs, but we do have other important positions as well that we need to focus on high.

Gus averaged 5.2 YPC on 137 ATT last season. I agree that Ingram is a better player, but is he really going to outperform Gus by that much to justify the cost? I'd much rather draft a RB than get Ingram.

i just feel like bringing in Ingram would be a reverse of the 80:20 rule - we'd be getting a small increase in production and impact vs a much higher salary

this is where im at with ingram - sure he'd somewhat improve that group but im not sure he improves it enough to forego the benefits of not having him i.e. saving cap space and also not adding a negative tally to the comp pick formula
