Thread: Time to have AP come in for a work out?

    Time to have AP come in for a work out?

    I really think he has something left and the Vikings decided not to pick up his contract today. If he could be gotten for a decent price, he would be a good pick up.

    Can't block, can't catch. Seems like a bad fit.

    This was Adrian Peterson's best run of 2016 (13 yards). He fumbled at the end.


    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Add in he still wants to get paid like an elite back, definitely no.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    Someone's going to pay him like a starter. Like Emmitt in Arizona.
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    Something for acquiring team to think about. This is what really hurt Herschel Walker in Minnesota, changing RB alignments. He went from I Back and zone blocking to counters and split backs in Minny.

    Hey, spread teams: Nearly 95 pct. of Adrian Peterson's career carries have come with the QB under center. Column

    Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles are now the big names, but still like Latavius Murray at RB in FA. Less mileage, great in pass pro.

    I dont think he will be good but fuck it sign him just to piss off Vikings fans.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    Of the 2 I'd rather sign Charles. AP can't pass block worth a damn and can't catch passes out of the backfield. No thanks.

    Ap can't pass block, isn't durable, and most likely thinks he still deserves a big money contact. No
    Go PACK

    Peterson will be 32 next month, a year older than James Starks.

    I would be surprised if he lasts half of next season.

    I'm not sure what to make of Peterson. He's rushed for 1400+ yards as recently as 2015. He looked bad last year, but that was such a small sampling, I don't know if it means much, especially given the state of the Vikings OL.

    That said, I'd rather sign Lacy. He's 5 years younger and a better pass blocker.

    I'd take AP in the heartbeat; it's anti Ted though. Very doubtful IMO.

    Get them back for Favregate !!! lol
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    And for the fact that AR already has a contract there
