re: Vikings 0-3, Should they Trade Adrian Peterson?

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.

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.
