Redskins Signing Adrian Peterson
Quote:
Gruden wasn’t even going to sign a back after Guice went down, but we now have no option. AP is a guy off the street. Lol. Alex Collin type moves do not happen every day. Not even close. Even if you want to make the definitive statement that there is no high reward for AP, there certainly is not a high risk either so what is the big deal? Do you really think this was to get the fan base excited? If that was the case we would have signed him after Guice went down. We are depleted big time right now at the position. So we bought in a guy who just might have another year left - once again he ran behind possibly thee worst o line in football last year and had a couple huge games. After Guice went down we were left with last years crop and we all saw how that went. So we gave AP a one year deal. This is not same old redskins shit. If it were we would have signed him to a five year deal months ago and traded away draft picks to do it. If he doesn’t work out it is really no big deal, and nobody is going to say “man we should have got some guy off the streets that wasnt a former all pro because than we would have had an awesome run game”. |

Re: Redskins Signing Adrian Peterson
I do. However for all intensive purposes AP is a guy off the street. His phone wasn’t ringing off the hook. Anyway how does less credentials fall into the positive category for anyone who did anything ever? If we gave up the farm to sign him I would agree with your whole “fill the seats, bullshit move” theory but we didn’t. We gave up nothing. You will be ordering your AP jersey soon. Lol |

As you may or may not know I am always against signing old guys, no matter how low risk it is, especially an old 33 year old RB. Then when you add in that he abused a child, I just can't root for this. He can rush for 1400 yards and score 12 td's and I just can't do it. |

I hear you about not wanting to root for him. Ive said as much. But every time he gets the ball im going to root for him. Lol. Whether or not he has a good or bad year will not change what he did or how I feel about him as a person. He has to live with it and I guess I will let God be his judge and jury. As for signing Darkwa he might not have been willing to sign a one year deal. Again, in football terms it is a zero risk move so.... |
