AD done for the year? Do you care? - Montana Tom - 12-14-2017
It's like an old girlfriend who was once so...well, awesome...and then wasn't. I am so glad we cut him loose.

Neck injury? Omg! Wish him well but I'm over it.

I care that I was privileged to watch an amazing running back in his prime. It was pretty exciting. As for now, I wish him the best as he deals with a fading career. And I hope he retires as a Viking.

Nope. Hate to see anyone get injured but don't care about this injury any more that other non-Vikes.

I don't wish injury on anybody...well maybe that's not true, but not in this case, however when he actively lobbied away from this team after all the support and money this franchise and it's fans gave him....well fuck him.
I understand players moving on for better money, but he was tops at his position by a long shot, and he wasn't even coming close to earning it here and that still wasn't good enough for him. He was a great ball carrier and that's about all the good I can say about him, after that he seemed to me to be a pretty selfish individual from an outsiders observation.

I’m glad AD is not on the Vikings anymore as we’re better
without him, but I would love to see him pick up another 50 yards and break
into the top 10 all time. I’m not sure
how much opportunity he’s going to have to be on a team going into next year. His skillset just doesn’t translate into a
body that isn’t elite.

Peterson was a great Viking and one I totally enjoyed. But once he left the team, I didn't care anymore. And I'm not surprised he's injured, he's old for a running back with lots of mileage.

Jimmy, i know many fans think that him leaving had to do with money and such, but it wasn't all of the story.@1VikesFan said:

Just as it was when PWill left. He had said he wanted to play a couple more years.
Both left and it had more to do with RS and his lies to players than anything as well as the things he has said to them and the way he has handled them.
I suspect that you may ne able to add a few more players to that list in the next few years even though it seems hunky dory to the fans it may not be.
It's hard to play for someone when you don't know if you can trust their word.
I hold no ill will towards AD and yes he has become a very good friend if Brian's and of this family. I wish the best for recovery to him and hope he continues to play, or is able to play.
