The case for drafting AD Peterson

[leeroybuc93]

Is this thread actually for real, or is it a joke just to make people go crazy?

Exactly how much college football have you watched as Adrian Peterson has not played for four years at Oklahoma so before you run your mouth and call people out know what you are talking about.  I am from Oklahoma and although I am not an Oklahoma fan I know some close sources who tell me Adrian is an accident waiting to happen so before you bash on Cadillac look at the numbers.  Cadillac was not as injury prone as one might think and he has shown he can play in the NFL while Peterson has not.  Wait thats right he has show all FOUR years at OU that he an stay healthy - LOL.

will be made tonight in the Fiesta Bowl....

Or a case why some team will want to move up to get him.

true.....we have so many holes to fill....it's hard to agrue with any postional pick...this ain't one year turn around...it's a multi year building process.....

Yeah, let's get an upright runner with injury issues who can't catch and needs 20+ carries to be really effective. That'll shake things up.

amen. cross peterson off your wish list... it aint happenin

I hope we do draft him cause he was a SOLID 4 year starter at Oklahoma and suffered only one significant
injury that he supposedly has fully recovered from, and it might make up for us passing on Steven Jackson
(who is also an "upright" runner) in favor of one hit wonder Michael Clayton.

OK, let's try this again, AP ain't gonna run behind our line (recall Gruden's comment about Jim Brown could not run behind our line). We know Caddy can run the ball so by drafting AD you think that using two top 5 picks on a position where one guy can be on the field at a time <insert Bush/McAllister comment and ingore that the players have no similarity).

My buddy at work who is a DIE HARD Auburn fan from Alabama warned me about Caddy after the draft, saying that he is injury prone and has to have a great(not average or below)line to succeed where other backs might adjust somehow. At the time I was drinking the kool-aid heavily and told him he was crazy,  but now......... 

thank you....a nice statement for drafting him,I'm not advocating drafting him only saying I wouldn't have a problem if his name was called......after all our defense has been vivisected for not being able to STOP a running attack.......oh....and we have not been able to sustain drives which in turn put the defense back on the field....


amen. cross peterson off your wish list... it aint happenin

ignorant utterance

actually.....really I'd like to see Micheal Bush taken with our 1st second round pick.....size.....power...speed....finesse...great hands.....that single pick.if he declares would make my draft

[acacius]

There is no case for this team drafting Peterson.  It would be the stupidest move by the team since drafting Bo Jackson after he said there was no way he would play for the team.

oh..several cases have been made.....say something of substance....

God take me now if these idiots won't stop calling for Adrian Peterson or Mike Bush RATHER THAN SOMETHING WE ACTUALLY NEEED.
