AP: Seriously....

Given the chance, will you take Peterson with your 1st round pick? I'm down at 11th pick so there's no way he'll be available...but even if he were I'd really have to think about it. Why? Well...

- We're already seeing the supposed effect Favre is having on the team in the locker room (that is if we're to believe the reports). But beyond that...

- Knowing Favre's penchant for wanting to throw a ton, isn't that going to limit AP's chances...not only just on play selection, but because Favre also chucks up quite a bit of air-balls (led the league last year), so again, I think that means Minny's O has the ball for less time and contributes to AP's opportunities.

Now, I know the standard logic is you take the best player available no matter what team he's on and that great players are always gonna make their numbers...but damn if I don't have a feeling that Favre is gonna kill AP's production this year.

So whadda ya think? I haven't been reading the FF sites but surely someone else must have thrown out the same sort of question.

i'm torn on the subject. i THINK i'd prefer turner, forte, and williams over AP

the only legit offensive weapon that the vikings have had has been peterson.

if farve can develop even the hint of a decent pass game to decrease the number of 8 man fronts that peterson has to run against, peterson will easily be the number one back in the league again this season.

hard to call him a steal at 1-4...which is where he is going.

I agree he deserves to be up there, but I don't know whether it's Cutler's arrival and a presumption of switching to a pass-first offense or what, but I've seen him dropping past 7 in drafts...

Umm, yes, if he's there at the 11th, you take him. Which he won't be.

oh, I know he won't be there at 11...I'm not worried about it even though I grabbed him last year at #2....I was just thinking about what I'd do if I were picking in the top 3 or 4 and he was available. If Favre wasn't the QB I'd have no reservations because I don't think they'd be so committed to the pass as they will with the gunslinger back there. IMO, Favre is a negative with regard to AP.

      I wish we could upgrade safety and put Scotts ass on the bench. ILB and Edge would also be nice.

      It was hard to imagine beating Dallas and GB, so at this point I put nothing past this team. There are no asterisks in the record books.  Yes, Kraft got knocked out, but our piece meal line blanked one of the premier pass rushers in the league and our RB is playing like prime AP. DB is our best DT in 23 years, shuts down the run and draws at least 2 holding calls every game. This is one of the better secondaries this team has ever fielded.  O line depth may be the best this team has ever had and I am now comfortable in saying we have FINALLY found a true franchise LT. We have a stud #1 wr whose potential is just waiting to be unlocked and we also have an all world RB (for now).  This is neither a bad nor a good team, but they’ve showed identity and that they CAN  hang with the better teams in the league. They 100% look the part of a Panthers team. Physical team that runs the ball and plays fundamentally sound defense, usually. They’ll lose close games, get boat raced at least twice a season but then out of nowhere win a few they aren’t supposed to. They’ve gone from the easiest to the hardest team to handicap.  They are undeniably headed in the right direction, and are a QB, head coach and a few defensive pieces away from being serious contenders. Besides QB, the offense is set. WTF?  To conclude my mindless rambling, this is the PERFECT team for Mike Tomlin to come next. He and Morgan would mesh very well.  I have no expectations going forward but nothing will surprise me at this point.
