It's already pissed off Vikings and Sooners fans. That alone makes me like it. Good production on the field would be a nice bit of lagniappe. :)

People seem to forget the year every RB on our roster was hurt for the playoffs. Cheap depth at RB is always a good thing.

His health is really the only concern. If he stays healthy then I don't see why he can't be at least a version of the 2015 AP. He's only a year removed from 1,500 yards and 11 TDs.


Yes knee injuries add up and so does mileage but people fail to realize that AP doesn't have nearly the carries that most, past RBs his age had at this stage in their careers. I'm not worried about him losing a step. Even if he has, he's still faster than Ingram.

You couldn't be more wrong. These two are nothing alike! Campbell was completely washed up and Bum brought him here to be the bell cow back. Peterson won't be asked to do that.

There is one HUGE difference: We gave up a #1 draft pick for Campbell. Signing AP didn't cost us any compensation.

Good thing we signed Peterson for pennies, and our starting RB is a top 15 player at his position! Zero risk.
