How is Peterson a bigger risk?I think the chunk he's talking about is the salary cap damage from signing a high dollar back.
Either Murray or Peterson could bust big, and frankly Peterson is a bigger risk. At this stage of his career LaDainian Tomlinson was averaging less than 4 YPC. If there's a back if equivalent talent level in this generation it's LT. Father Time took away his talent at about age 30.
Coincidence? I don't think so
The program Dallas has committed to at this point is is the RB by committee. Linehan has already proclaimed it. No point in taking on another back and paying out the nose before you have tried your initial strategy.How is Peterson a bigger risk?
And Tomlinson was coming of a knee injury later in his Career and playing with a team who was limited at QB.
So the 2 are nowhere near comparable.
Who does that sound like??
Sounds like Dez to me... or even more importantly, Irvin.Who does that sound like??

You sonofabitch!Every coach ever.
I'm with you on that.....I think we're like 4 of us who would actually do this, though.I'd give up a first for Peterson. If it goes as planned we'd be drafting later in the draft anyways, so I could support. Also, I bet we could get 3 great years from Peterson, which is all you can ask from a RB anymore.
I don't know that he will be great for 3 more years though. I wouldn't hate the trade. I think it would let us compete for a championship the next couple yearsI'd give up a first for Peterson.

I wouldn't. If for nothing else we may need that first round pick to move up in the draft for a QB to replace Romo.I'd give up a first for Peterson.

I would. There is no way I'd ever be ok with trading a first rounder for a 30 year old RB. I don't care who it is. The team is set up to compete right now, and for the future. All we need to continue competing is another QB once Romo is done. It's hard enough to find them. No sense in making it even harder by trading away first rounders.I wouldn't hate the trade
This has been my standard for trade all along. More than a 4th is too much.I would be excited as hell to have Peterson on the team. But I would not give up more than a fourth for him. this team is young and built for long-term success. If we go through one season without a running back, and it derails our season, this team is not ruined. We can always draft a running back or sign a running back in 2016 having learned our lesson.Romo and Witten are aging, but beyond that our team would still be poised to win a year from now.

We need to be all in right now...I get the reasoning, just don't agree.I wouldn't. If for nothing else we may need that first round pick to move up in the draft for a QB to replace Romo.
so you are saying if we give up a Chaz Green pick for Adrian Peterson you would say its too much?This has been my standard for trade all along. More than a 4th is too much.
You have no idea how Chaz Green will turn out. Would you give up a Jason Witten pick for Peterson? I wouldn't.so you are saying if we give up a Chaz Green pick for Adrian Peterson you would say its too much?
Or Demarco Murray for that matter.You have no idea how Chaz Green will turn out. Would you give up a Jason Witten pick for Peterson? I wouldn't.
