Adrian Peterson Wants To Retire A Viking

[Guest]

This made me happy to read. They AD/Vikings "break up" seemed pretty messy, I'm glad he recognizes that his best years came in Minnesota. Hopefully he also recognizes how much the team did for him (and vice versa). Great player.

Vikings will finally have their HOF RB. That's means forever enshrined. So in years to come when people forget the bad, there's plenty,  he will still be among the Vikings in that great honor.

Chuck should be the first Vikings HOF back.

Chuck will never get enough votes now. imo. Too few remember now how he was used and how he changed the position to what it would become. Voters only see rushing yard, titles and longevity.  Chuck is rushing up hill at this point to get called.

Which is exactly why a veterans committee was formed.  To correct the oversights of the past.  There are few greater oversights on the matter than a pro football HOF without Chuck Foreman.
