• Been there, one dimentionalized that attack, & have you noticed 
that there are hardly any marquee running backs anymore ?
Gurley comes to mind, but after that ...

His 6 yards on 4 carries would fit right in on this team. I'm thinking Washington could use Cousins right now a lot more than we could use Peterson. Though maybe Peterson could whip the OL into shape.

As MacArthur said,

"old RBs don't retire....they just embarrass themselves"

Or something like that

This article only mentioned what could be taken as selfish and self centered. AP can be just that. However it didn't mention he understood or that he hopes to sign a one day contract to retire a Viking. He was hurt by not being offered a contract. It also left out how he loves this fan base and that's why he wants to retire a Viking. He will be our HOFer.

4 carries for 6 yards in a loss includes suffering a dislocated shoulder is not what I consider a today's perennial running back no matter who you are...

AP was washed up a couple years ago. Too bad he wasted a year in his prime here with his suspension. He could have helped us then when he was still on the team.

yep,  AP as a feature back was done before he left Minny.  once he refused to get better at the rest of what a modern RB is asked to do and tried to get by on his running skills only he really limited his ability to extend his career like emmett and others have done that he is chasing.
