turtle28 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Adrian Peterson would love to be back in Washington https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/12/27/adrian-peterson-would-love-to-be-back-in-washington/ via @ProFootballTalk Quote “I would love to come back here and finish off on a better note,” Peterson said, via ESPN.com. “We have a great group of guys here — all the adversity we’ve faced this year and how guys have responded. To come to work and really stay focused shows a lot about this team, this locker room, coaches as well. … That’s something I would love to be a part of.” If things don’t work out for a return engagement, Peterson believes he’s shown enough to generate interest elsewhere. He’s run 247 times for 1,042 yards and seven touchdowns and said “you’re blind” if you can’t see that he has a lot of football left in the tank.

oldman9er Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Please do make this happen. Even if fully healthy, Guice shouldn't be leaned on to do it all, and there is little doubt for me that AP will still be able to bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think this is smart for MVP to say this. It makes him look more attractive to other teams. You never want to burn bridges with any of the 32.

naptownskinsfan Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Not sure if this is going to be in the cards. He and Guice are very similar- both in build and skill set, though Peterson reinvented himself as a pass-catcher this year. One thing I think they need to replace is Chris Thompson as the pass-catcher/utility guy out of the backfield. He just can't stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PARROTHEAD Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 He had more carries than anyone today. And produced less yards. Actually 0 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Peterson said the reason he wants to keep playing is he wants to win a championship so, he shouldn’t come back to the Redskins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e16bball Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Couldn’t be more impressed with the guy after watching him all season — he’s a legend, and we got to see firsthand why this season — but I just don’t see how he fits. Guice is The Man™️ moving forward. And while I do believe that next year AD will likely be better than most/all veteran backup RBs we could find in FA, I also believe he’s not the sort of guy who would do well in a timeshare. Especially not as the (much) lighter half of a timeshare. He’s a stud, a true workhorse. That’s what makes him great. But it also means he’s not cut out for receiving just a few carries per game. He’s not a patient runner to start with, just imagine how impatient he’d be if he thought he was only going to get the ball 5 or 6 times (tops). He’d be trying to run for a hundred yards on every play. I’d be looking to rounds 4-6 for a young back (or two) to plug in behind Guice and CT. There are a number of RB prospects that I like (Zack Moss, Reggie Corbin, Miles Sanders, Darrin Hall, etc) who may be available on Day 3, and I think that’s one position where you can plug in a young guy with some talent and get production early on.

Ya this is where I’m at with him. He gave us what we needed this year but Guice should be the guy next year. Time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 One year rentals are good. But it would cost us too much to re-sign him at this point. Go play for the Pats and win a SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Draper Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Guice is an unknown. Peterson was our MVP. Pay the man and keep him unless we go full tank mode then trade everyone over 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
