I said a few days ago that we should keep him in case of injuries, but they gave up a first for Bradford last year. Get a second to send AP back to Minn!


We'd get Kamara for nothing...might end up a better pick than the one we gave to SF

Trade AP, sign Tim Hightower again. He is good for emergency RB depth and he can block and catch.

give him more touches

That's the worst idea I've heard in a long time. AD ran dor four yards on 4 touches. All of his yards came from one run. That is pitiful.

Not taking a side in the play him more/less, but define well.

9 rushes, 33 yards, 3.7 ypc, and 2 catches for 4 yards.

He had 1 good run all year, but every other touch has been a wasted play. Nearly every snap he's taken has been a wasted snap.

Maybe if he plays more and gets in a groove he can turn it around. Or maybe we should just stop playing him. I don't know the answer but I do know he's done jack and shite to this point.

So starting running backs go down with injuries all over the league and your first thought is to trade away our depth at running back?


I thought this before too but I don't think AP's worth all that much in our offense. We can probably plug and play just as easily if need be.

If you can get good value for AP then I say do it.

MI was only 4.0 and got more touches. When we bring AD in the D keys on him, and we usually run him.

I was hoping to see him more in the 4th Q when we need to grind it out and drain the clock.

That said, I think we need to hold on to him in case MI goes down and still try to find a way to fit him into the offense so the plays he is in on are more productive.

I'll also say, I think he get's cut at the end of the season if they don't find a way to play him more.

Peterson is absolutely worthless in this offense. I was really surprised to see him blown the frick up in pass protection so much so he almost got Brees killed.

With a sturdy build like his, I can't believe that he provided so little resistance to a defender attempting to get to his quarterback. It's obvious that, unless he is toting the rock, he just doesn't give a frick.

Like I said, like to see him in the 4th Q to wear the D down and run the clock out.

Who cares about trading him to the Vikings? Send him and a late-round pick (since they love stock piling draft picks) to Seattle for...

Jimmy Graham. It's time to bring him home.
