OT: Adrian Peterson - out for the season?

[GatorAZ]

I'm guessing he'll try to make it back for the playoffs. Guy is not a normal human.

The Inevitable Question:

Minny lacks a primo RB. We've got three (maybe 4 if you like Penny as much as I do).

So...What does Minnesota got a surplus of that we want?

(Bueller)?

What ever it is, it will most likely happen on a Wednesday.

Xavier Rhodes for Ellington and a 5th.

Tricky. I see 4 options.

1. NT Linval Joseph. EXTREMELY unlikely, however, they have the depth at Dline. Hes arguably the best NT in the NFL right now.

2. CB: Mackensie Alexander. Biased. Huge fan.

3. ILB Kentrell Brothers. Also biased. Huge fan.

4. OLB Danielle Hunter. Hyper athletic pass rusher. They can take the loss BC they have Barr still.

They got a solid RB core in Matt Asiata/McKinnon

They can't do any worse than what AP was doing & plus they're more dynamic than AP is.

 

[DVontel]

Lost their QB and LT. Seasons over. They arent winning a superbowl with Bradford. No reason to rush him back out there so he can reinjure himself leading the team to 7-9

They're not going 7-9(Unless Bradford gets hurt, which is highly possible.). I WANT them too for postseason reasons obviously, but I don't see it at all.

You're really underrating that roster if you think they are.

Weak division and good defense, but I don't see it. Especially without AP. Take away Diggs, they really don't have weapons at WR.

and "**If Bradford stays healthy" is about the biggest asterisk in the NFL. Hes like the Bob Sanders of QBs.

I would say great defense & I think they'll be the best defense we'll play this year, & that's including Seattle & Carolina's defense.

Losing AP in 2016 is not the same as losing AP in 2008 or 2012. I don't think he's that big of a loss at his current age honeslty.

"Take away a significant player" You can do that with any team & it's always pointless to me.

Their OL is left to be desired, though, & that was with Kalil(Was struggling) healthy. Bradford makes throws even Bridgewater can't make, & this is the best supporting cast he has ever played with, & I'm not even a Bradford fan.

I think they'll go 11-5 at best, with 8-8 as the floor.

AP is the Larry Fitzgerald of RBs. He doesn't age. Still extremely dangerous.

More like the Andre Johnson of RBs.

More like the Andre Johnson of RBs.

completely baseless

AP ran for 1,400 and 11 TDs last year. Hes easily top 3 greatest running backs of all time, and today, still a beast.

I think Dallas and the G-Men beat them and possibly Detroit once. On the flip side, I think they beat Jacksonville. 8-8...9-7 @ best.

I'm glad we didn't trade for him but it's hard to argue with this post.

I wouldn't flip the results between Dallas & Philly. Think they beat Jax, but lose to divisional rival @ Detroit.

The #Vikings have placed RB Adrian Peterson (knee) on Injured Reserve. They can bring him back in December if he’s ready.
