One dimensional and fumbles a lot. No thanks!
Which is why I said I'm not sure he would be a great fit. I think if he went to a team that was more committed to the run he could still be productive. I don't think that GB is that place.The Packers don't have an elite run blocking offensive line either.
I understand the point you're making, but lets not forget that Rodgers isn't getting any younger either. I don't think it's a terrible idea to take some of the pressure off of Rodgers to be the all time great generational talent that we all know him to be every time he steps onto the field.The problem being that there's absolutely no reason to adjust the offensive scheme to accomodate a 32 year old running back while having the best quarterback in the league.
It's a moot point because Teddy isn't going to pull the trigger.However that said ^^^ I am 100% not for it as he will garner more than he should.
tired of the injured knee excuse.... he played in two games before getting injured the first time and looked terrible in both.He was playing on an injured knee... with no qb.
Considering 37 carries is usually a one game work load for Peterson without a qb... my point, exaggerated as it may be, is that his carries per game would say otherwise.tired of the injured knee excuse.... he played in two games before getting injured the first time and looked terrible in both.
It seems equally loopy to me to have such a devotion to a player based on the fact that he was once a great player. He is a running back..... it has been stated enough times already... when they are done... they are done. It is something you can see pretty easily. I remember watching him last year.... I said to myself in his first two games he looked done then. I thought the same thing about Starks last year... it is something you can see. When Petersen was great.... you could see that too. You believe he still has it. I do not. He has not been signed yet... I would guess many GMs are fearful that I am correct.Considering 37 carries is usually a one game work load for Peterson without a qb... my point, exaggerated as it may be, is that his carries per game would say otherwise.
It seems loopy to me to judge one of the best conditioned athletes to ever play the game of football, on the fact he just turned 32 and had bad stats for 37 snaps. Some of which were while injured. Again , with no qb, crappy wrs and as someone pointed out, a injured line...
Still wouldn't hurt to have a legit threat at RB.
This team still has no identity; what are they, what do they want to be.
Not sure what you mean about the identity. Seems pretty obvious to me they're a pass 1st team. If anything it needs to be toned back from the "big play" down to a more traditional west coast scheme.
But yeah it definitely wouldn't hurt to add another legit RB. I'd actually very tempted to draft Cook (he's the ONLY back I'd draft in RD1), should he fall, even despite the concerns on D
10 guys dedicated to the passing game. Only one to give us a respectable run game imo. Even on the down slide, as everyone has so adamantly declared. Peterson is motivated every run. Dedicated to the season. He knows how to hit the defense where it hurts.Hmmmm......you have a "one man passing game" player on offense with AR, teamed with an offensive line that is proficient in pass blocking and average in run blocking and you want to mix in a 32 year old "one man running game" player with AP....and you don't see a problem? Now if you told me AR was going to get hurt and Brett Hundley was going to be the Packer QB, I possibly see the need, even despite not having a great run blocking O-Line.
The Packers need a complimentary back to their Passing game, one that is effective when being asked to run, block or receive out of the shotgun/pistol formation, AP isn't that guy.
Do we want to run better, or forget it about it? Such as Seattle's identity was physical and strong defense, etc- along those lines. This team is about Rodgers; that's not a team identity.
As for Cook; I look over a lot of mock drafts, and he's all over the boards. I doubt we'd get a shot at him, but with a run on a position or some surprise picks, who knows?
You realize this is the man who had his knee turned inside out and 8 months later rushed for 2097 yds...... like I have been saying since day one. You simply do not underestimate a person with that sort of will power. If he is playing, he will be great. He knows when it's over. GMs simply value good rbs at $5mil, and Peterson still wants 10!!! What does that tell you about how Peterson is feeling? He could have a couple years left. He has always been physically superior. It's because he works harder than everyone...It seems equally loopy to me to have such a devotion to a player based on the fact that he was once a great player.

Jerry Rice is widely considered the best wide receiver to ever play the game. He was also known to be one of the most motivated and hardest workers. When he was done... he did not want to let go easily... but when he had lost it it it was obvious. It was rather sad watching him try to get a job at the end and seeing no GMs willing to sign him.You realize this is the man who had his knee turned inside out and 8 months later rushed for 2097 yds...... like I have been saying since day one.

its gonna be tough for Adrian to live on $300 per week if we sign him. Unless they let him sleep at Don Hutson facility for free?
I'd charge him rent
Ok I'm being sarcastic but guys..he's just not worth chancing more than the rookie minimum.. and he's clearly surpassed "rookie".
Maybe we could resign Flynn and then trade him for AP
