No, it should be ignored.

It should go without saying that Harvin's situation was completely different. The biggest reasons being that Harvin was injury prone and that he wasn't happy playing for the Vikings. Both make it easier to part with a player, and while the former makes it more difficult to engineer a trade, the latter usually makes your team better by removing a malcontent from the locker room.

Lost in the emerging debate, which isn’t as ridiculous as it sounds at first blush, is one key factor. What if Peterson decides he wants out?
...
Peterson has been to the playoffs only twice during a career that demands more January games. If the Vikings continue to fail in their effort to develop a passing game, who could blame Adrian for wanting to go to a place where he can win?

Man, these guys sure picked a good time to stir up crap for Peterson. Pretty classy.

I'd like to see Peterson back in the headlines for being a stud running back. That's it. Not all this nonsense. It's the regular season. There's not real news? Is that why all this speculation is getting all this attention?

It's nothing new. Everybody is thinking the same thing... Peterson will soon be 30 years old, and still the best running back in the NFL, playing for a perennial loser. He deserves better.

Because he's bigger than the team?

Peterson deserves better than people in the media stirring up crap with him, his family/personal life, and his football team. That's what he deserves. Oh--and to keep being fed the football.

Just to keep the thread alive:

...........................................


DeMarco Murray is expected to miss some time with an MCL injury, but the Dallas Cowboys might be looking to permanently replace the running back.

Jerry Jones would be the owner to offer the Vikings the most for AD. He especially would LLOOOVVVEEEEEE AD in Dallas.

Speaking of classy. How about AD? Has 5 kids out of wedlock and possibly up to 7. Real classy.

It's funny reading Cowboys' fans messages: "AD for a 1st and 3rd round pick." :rofl:



Not that this trade would happen anyway, but the Cowboy's have a pretty messed up cap space scenario.

Who cares! Out of wedlock, what is this the 1940's? Wilt Chamberlin has like 20 kids "out of wedlock" and he's still considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time lol.

As for the cowboys, they're already going to be something like 25 million over the cap next year which means they'll be cutting players, not trading the most expensive running back in the league... Maybe if they give us Demarcus Ware and Dez Bryant in the trade hahahahah.

I don't think Tiger was allergic. He was smart in that regard.
