Up and coming team? Sure! But a ring chasers destination? Let's win a playoff game Lol...its been almost a decade:(

I'm sure the Eagles in 17 didn't consider themselves up & coming because they failed to win a playoff game for several years before that season. /endsarcasm

So a guy who you say is a better RB, and can also run routes and catch better than Howard, isn't going to be better for our offense???

What is your definition of more dynamic?

Last time the rams won a playoff game prior to this year was 2001.

Would rather just get Ingram's younger clone, Holyfield in the draft at 3.

He's better but Ingram isn't elite, he's just good. He also struggles in pass blocking. Ingram isn't a home run threat, he just does most things marginally better than Howard.

Ingram would be a solid add

He's got a couple good years left imo, and not much wear on him last couple years splitting with Kamara and being suspended

I seriously doubt Ingram is here to replace Howard. That is not making the team better.

If Howard is gone and the bring in a marginal vet, they will be drafting a young guy that will be here to compete for snaps.

Weird, he can play. At 5 million that is what slot CBs go for.

He's not really a slot guy. Played there early in his career though. But the guy can't get a turnover to save his life. And that was even when Glover Quinn was having a PB season at FS.

Hes solid, but not a playmaker at all. He also has been known to be too handsy and pick up PI calls...

Speaking of G.Quinn do you think he'd fit with E.Jackson or do you think both are more of FS then they are as SS? He had 7 INT's last year.

I've seen a lot of people saying that Mark Ingram isn't a fit for the #Bears offense. I 100% disagree. He's a good receiver, can block & has more wiggle than Howard getting to the second level. Also has low miles for being 29.

Keep in mind, Nagy wants a rotation, not a workhorse

I don't mind M.Ingram but he has had plenty of fumbles in his career so i definitely don't want our top RB to have fumbling problems.

Quinn is a former CB turned FS. And he's likely to retire, or he's really close to it. Not a fit...

He wouldn't be our top RB. We aren't likely to even have a top RB. More likely 3 man rotation.
