This thread proves so few people understand what the NFL is all about. You people are talking about when or if they will be relevant or compete for SBs. The owner still needs butts in the seats whether they compete for relevancy or not. Making money is the goal, and they needs someone who puts butts in the seats and get people to watch on TV.

Thank you. Despite his mega contract, AP brings in serious dough for the Vikings. In fact, I am wearing his jersey right now.

I understand the NFL plenty. Whats more important??? Winning a SB or People in the seats?? The PATS are a contending team every year and people show up EVERY HOME game. Same with the Saints or Cowboys. Its not all about winning, its putting a team on the field that people will think is a contender.And one superstar player[esp an RB] Is Not gonna put people in the seats. At the same time I am not much of an NFL fan [anymore]. I would NOT go to a game even if I had free tickets.

Yeah, because consistently getting to the playoffs and giving your team a chance to get to the SB doesn't put butts in the seats. The point is, in about 3 or 4 years, Peterson won't be that great anymore, so if they could actually get something for him right now then they should.

We aren't talking about a 23 year old RB who's in his 3rd year or so. He's a 28 year old back with tons of carries and having had major knee surgery. But hey, let's keep a closed mind to the future and hope that one aging running back will keep people coming to games while they struggle to win games.
