The lockout played a big part in drafting Ingram IMO. If they could've signed Sproles before the draft, I doubt they trade up to get Ingram, or at least they would've let him slide a little more and given up less.

Everyone thought the Saints did the right thing in drafting him, including myself. That same thought, I don't think anyone expecting Bowers to compete the way he did his rookie year, which is why he slid so far.

Maybe he doesn't turn into the every down back you expected, but w/ Thomas, Ivory, and Sproles, you don't need him to yet.

I'm not mad at all, I didn't care one way or the other that they drafted him. I don't see where you clearly stated anything about Bowers falling, what you did say was that you thought that the Saints were moving up to draft him and was mad because he wasn't the pick.
I think that summed it up.

I'm not sure how you define "whining". For you it appears that if you disagree, and comment on something your whining.

Nope, that's not whining. You bringing it up in multiple threads, in one case completely unprompted a year after it happened, is whining.

Have to admit when we moved up to draft him I was extremely excited, but after seeing what Sproles has done for us and Ingram's absence I think I have buyers remorse.

Ingram impressed a lot of people during the past offseason, was high on people's boards, showed some flashes in the regular season,etc. I'm not gonna judge based on a season or so, with the recent track record of RBs who knows how much longer Pierre Thomas will be effective for. I like Chris Ivory, but we've seen his injury record as well plus I don't think he hits the holes as hard as he should(sometime dances around the LOS as seen in the SF game)

I read somewhere that the surgery was a little more minor then initially reported, i'm all for cleaning up a knee now rather then in the season.
Yeah completely umprompted.

And you're not mad yet take the time to address me a person that just's in an "umprompted" "whining" rant.

The unprompted part referred to another thread (the Jim Brown thread specifically), which is why I said you've brought it up in other threads. Since when do you have to be angry to respond to someone on here?

So using an example that was relevant to the situation is "whining" now?

And sure you can address people, but when you choose to respond with insults I think it's fair to say your mad.

Bringing up something related to you when it had nothing to do with you just so that you can further complain about something that you complain about all year is whining. You're the only one who seems to be mad.

Ok if it makes you feel better I'm whining and angry about being right about Ingram being non productive. Discussion over you win.
