Adrian Peterson signs with Redskins

[gorillaz]

That is all. Discuss.

[The Accountant]

awesome! hate to say it but you knew it was just going to take one major injury

[Siberian13]

AP in DC. Interesting.

[Hollywood42]

Honestly, just needs to retire. Not effective enough anymore. Amazing career and will go down as an all time great, but there’s nothing left to prove

[hockeyguyrich]

Wow this is interesting

[nanners13]

They Needed help, when their RC RB went down. I mean for now,,,, it could be a lot worse yea? he can plug in to get the skins started right? Think for NOW its not terrible

He wants that 100th Rushing TD

[peterose4hof]

Could he really be worse than Robert Kelley, Kapri Bibbs or a banged up Samaje Perine?

Why not give him a chance at this point?

[Boo]

Read an article that the Cards thought he was still a first and second down back so maybe he has some juice left in the tank.

[MFaulkCollector]

Peterson is a physical freak... he is certainly good enough for 10-15 carries a game

And for the guy who mentioned 100 rushing tds... I think you are exactly right

[northwellguy]

As long as they use him properly he can still be effective but he needs 20 carries/game and the power I or double-TE offence.

[pgisback]

I don't mind it. Don't think it's going to be a big deal. Just another cog in the Redskins system of suck. Was excited to see Guice though.

[CubKings]

Hope he gets decent playing time and has a good year stat wise. We know the Skins aren't winning anything this year.

My thought exactly....

[88horsepower]

Man, I would have thought he already eclipsed the 100 rushing TD Mark.

[lambeauleap87]

I don't know if he's really got much left in the tank. At least, he hasn't shown it.

[Tones]

Ill bet on Lynch having a better year.

[norskarv]

My condolences to the Redskins.

I don't know if he's really got much left in the tank. At least, he hasn't shown it.

He wasn't exactly used right for 90% of the season last year either. The Cardinals used him correctly in a couple games last year which turned out to be 100+ yard games on the ground. I think he still has some gas left in the tank and can be a very serviceable first and second down back if used correctly. He just doesn't have the getaway speed that he used to have, so he isn't going to break many 50+ yarders at this point in his career.

He wants that 100th Rushing TD

Just 1 TD away.

4 yards away from taking the #11 spot from Faulk.

37 yards from taking #10 from Jim Brown

464 from besting Dorsett for #9

984 from Dickerson for #8

He could really set himself up with one more good year. 2 more good years and he is top 5. I know people are swinging from Frank Gore's sack right now. But AP is only 1700 yards behind him and Gore has been in the league longer.

[cking]

I hope Joe Gibbs comes back and takes a switch to him

[ninjacookies]

Should fulfill those league-worst 3.6ypc expectations from their last season perfectly.

[Cavaliercards]

He makes it through Week 3 and is then cut

[Boo]

Week 1 starter

[blackbears86]

5.6 YPA on 11 carries last night. I'd say he's easily going to be the week one starter.

[Slim]

Yeah week 1 starter

[mainelobster]

Just as important as the stats...he passed the eye test. Was surprised by the burst. Crazy considering he hasn't even been practicing.

[Gigantor]

Highlights if interested. Hope he can stay healthy :)!
