AP Probably Gone From Minnesota

No it isn't silly. The only definition I have found is that it is frequent. That doesn't describe the the party at hand.

Missed time every year due to injury...that describes the party at hand.

DeMarco Murray games played by season:

2011: 13
2012: 10
2013: 14

That's 37 games played out of a possible 48. That's 77%, which means he missed nearly 1 out of every 4 games to injury in his first 3 seasons. I don't know how you don't consider that injury prone. The guy is tough and he isn't exactly made of glass, but has consistently missed games due to injury during his time in the NFL.

DeMarco Murray is less injury prone than Sean Lee. I'm hoping this makes LT feel better about his OU running back.

Dont forget College as well.

For the record...I hope he never misses another game in his career and keeps up his torrid pace, but I do have concerns.

Indeed.

If we let Murray go and our plan is to replace him with Peterson and a 2nd-5th rounder to split time/groom, I'm good with that. I think Peterson has another 1-2 great seasons in him, especially behind this line.

That's exactly where I'm at. Generally it's a terrible idea to invest in an aging workhorse RB, obviously, but a couple years of Peterson if the money is reasonable because teams are afraid to touch him...

Murray is a hell of an all-around RB. Blocks very well, catches the ball well, can really run, etc. His contract is going to be more than a RB is worth though, IMO. Too much guaranteed money over too many years for a guy that has missed multiple games every year of his career so far.

The window with Romo and to a lesser degree Witten is only a couple more years. Peterson is a special athlete. The workload, wear and tear, injuries, etc. will cost him but I agree that behind an excellent line he can still be a weapon for a couple more years. Definitely if limited to 18 touches a game or so.

Depends on the situation (suspended?) and the contract for sure but I'd roll the dice if those things line up right. The off the field stuff is definitely disturbing, but the idea of him running behind this OL is intriguing.
