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.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
