For all of the good Stephen has done, if they give a 2nd for AP, they are right back where they were 3-4 years ago as far as decision-making goes.Exaggerate much?

I don't want to give up a pick for Peterson either, but I don't really see how that would negate rebuilding the Oline with bluechippers, giving out smart contracts, etc... But, whatever peels your banana, I guess.For all of the good Stephen has done, if they give a 2nd for AP, they are right back where they were 3-4 years ago as far as decision-making goes.
I don't see anything.I don't see any way we can feasibly get Peterson. This article breaks it down pretty well.
I'm 100% that this is retarded.I'm 80% sure that 100% of the time I wouldn't give up any draft pick for Peterson.
Guy is 30. History says he's done.I'm 100% that this is retarded.
I'd absolutely give up a mid round pick for 2 years of Adrian Peterson than spend a 2nd on the Tevin Coleman's of the world.
History also says a RB 7 months off ACL surgery isn't the same, he was better.Guy is 30. History says he's done.
I'd go as high as a 4th, and that's it.I'm 100% that this is retarded.

Sure if he had a cheap contract. But I'm not paying a 30 year old RB more money then any other RB in the NFL and then throwing in a draft pick for the privilege.I'd go as high as a 4th, and that's it.
Yeah, my statement was based on the assumption that he would restructure. I'm not taking on that contract period.Sure if he had a cheap contract. But I'm not paying a 30 year old RB more money then any other RB in the NFL and then throwing in a draft pick for the privilege.
There is too much luck involved in the NFL. If you build for one year odds are you won't win it all and your team will be torn apart. On the other hand if you build for 5 years you are likely to get some lucky breaks over that period of time.Adrian Peterson only makes sense if Dallas is going for it all this year and damn the consequences. Even then Murray was a better option.
No, I definitely prefer a franchise built for the long haul and not one that's constantly in cap jail and stuck releasing aging talent every June.
And that is foolish thinking.Adrian Peterson only makes sense if Dallas is going for it all this year and damn the consequences.
2007 Pats were the closest example. But they're also what proves why loading up doesn't make sense. They were a perfect team that got upset by a bunch of assholes who shouldn't have even made it that far.And that is foolish thinking.
It is not like if we acquired Peterson the rest of the league would just lay down.
Overall team improvement should be the goal, not being "all in". I can't remember any team that loaded up and actually made it pay off in the salary cap era.
It's a perfect example of how there is too much luck involved in winning the superbowl. You can't put all your eggs in the basket of one season because even the most talented team in the NFL has far less then 50/50 odds of winning it all.2007 Pats were the closest example. But they're also what proves why loading up doesn't make sense. They were a perfect team that got upset by a bunch of assholes who shouldn't have even made it that far.
