LoganF89 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Per BR Adrian Peterson is visiTing Monday, I honestly think he will be the one to sign, they will just use him for early down work and you know Trent Williams will be pushing for us to sign him as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I would actually like this signing a lot more than Charles. He has enough to still be solid on first and second downs, then Thompson can be the change of pace back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSkinGM Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 He avg. a whooping 3.4 yards last year and he's 33 . Darkwa avg 4.4 and he's only 26. Seems like a "DUH" moment to me .. but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I’d much rather have the younger Darkwa than AD or Charles for the reasons Mknight & RSkinGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceinthehouse Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I'm better than Rob fracking Kelly... I would sign both Charles & Peterson. let darkwa go. He falls down if you break wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He falls down if you break wind. At least he doesn’t get injured if you break wind. Charles is not the answer and Peterson is arguably not any kind of an answer either. Darkwa is younger and was more productive than the 30 year olds last year. • Charles has missed 26 of the last 48 games in the last 3 years. • Peterson has missed 34 of his last 64 games in the last 4 years.

Doc Draper Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 We could do worse.

aceinthehouse Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I would rather have 2 injury prone RB's who are HOF inductees (Charles borderline) on 1-year contracts in their 30's, so Guice can be our guy next season. Than a 26 year old injury free RB, who's half as talented. Best ability IS availability. Which is why you sign both. Double up! Peterson Charles Perine Bibbs Trade Kelly's ***... This is what "I" would do. I bet all of you a 100, Doug Williams agrees with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles hasn’t had a 1000 yd season since 2014. Peterson hasn’t had one since 2015. As @RSkinGM said, Peterson only averaged 3.4 ypc last year.

lavar703 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 None of these RBs are going to sign here. Gruden already said they aren’t trying out for the starters job as that belongs to Kelley. Now you know why I want Gruden gone. Kelley has done absolutely nothing over the last three seasons to have this job handed to him. It’s absurd.

bigdog44 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I wouldn’t sign any of those guys. I’d check the wire after final cuts or even get a gun for hire through a trade than sign either. I only say trade because I think this team is a quality RB away (and overall health of course) from competing for a playoff spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
