I know random thread about a random free agent.. but I don’t see why they wouldn’t atleast kick the tires and see what kind of money he would command(not that much I imagine). He’s no longer the stud he was but,he could be that change of pace back we need behind CMC, a thumper that gets it done in the redzone and between the tackles. I think he has atleast one more season in him as he did put up some good games in Arizona... what say you?

Depends on price and whether he'd accept a role where he isn't the main guy--he was certainly frustrated in NO before getting trade and getting 25-30 carries/game in AZ. I also tend to think players like him actually NEED 20+ carries per game to get in a rhythm and have success. I'm not so sure he'd be great addition in a limited role. But I'd be open to it. He's definitely one of the all time greats and still has some run left in him. AZ's line was terrible, among the worst in the league last year, and Peterson still played extremely well there. And that was without a QB threat either and the only receiving threat being Fitz...

I'd rather just go into the season with cmc, cap, and whoever gets drafted. Too many other needs to address with the limited amount of cap space. 

I don’t understand the huddles obsession with cap. He is just a jag. He doesn’t have any dynamic traits. He’s not fast he’s not powerful he’s just a north south runner. He’s about 210 pounds not really a thumper.. I would rather see him not on the roster come the start of the season. 

 He can be upgraded apon. My whole point  was to fill a need and save a draft pick to fill other needs. I think a stopgap would be good. Ap is that. Now I’m not saying don’t draft a rb, but I would like to plug as many holes as I can before the draft so I’m not forced to draft a rb.

To be fair, CAP really hasn't gotten a fair shot in regular season games.  We don't know 100% whether he can contribute or not.  I lean towards YES he can, just based off the small sample size we have

AD has proven time and time again that you shouldn’t bet against him, and I won’t. That said, I really want us to have one year with cmc as the feature back. Idk why there’s this belief that we have to bring someone else in. Shadys the same weight

1) Yayyy another FA thread

2) I had no idea mccoy and CMC were essentially the same rate. Good fact

The Cardinals let him go.  The Saints let him go.  Minnesota let him go.

I love AP.  An amazing running back and a certain HOFer but it's over.  He might hit you one or two games of his old brilliance but for a 16 game season.   You are signing the name not the talent.

He's done. 

AP enjoy your 5 year break.   We'll see you on the 2022 HOF ballot

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
