Vikes have a dilemma with A.P.

What a shame his talents are going to waste!

When you are on a great team like the Vikes some times all you have is emotions

Adrian Peterson could have been in the Hall of Fame.

I'm afraid he's going to end up in the Hall of Footnotes.

Peterson better take it easy on that knee...

I doubt that he will play at all this season, if he does play it will probably come at the half way point of the season and only if the Vikings are in contention. No need to waste or put your franchise back at further risk.

the only 'in contention' this team will be involved with is being on the clock.

"You really have to take the emotion out of it"......now that statement by Frazier really in a nutshell says it all, and he's right when it come to A.P. in that regard!

about 50% of the NFL would not play in a typical week if that was the decision criteria

couldn't agree more, similar situation happened to steven jackson. he played the prime of his career w/ a horrible rams franchinse.

AD, as in All Day, not AP, as in yet another brain dead "nickname" that consists of reciting the first letters of someone's first and last names. One of the VERY few interesting and unique nicknames out there... AD, not AP.

I have a bad feeling we are heading for a Neal Anderson type of deal here.

It is a shame but fairly common, especially in football where you need so many good players to make a good team (as opposed to basketball or, to a lesser extent, baseball). When the worst teams pick early you're going to get guys like AP, Barry Sanders, Sterling Sharpe, etc. that play at a HOF level on lousy teams.

Sterling Sharpe? His career was cut short because of injury. Year and a half after he left the Pack won a SB. AP played in the NFC championship game 2 years ago. A bit premature to say he's going to waste his talents in Minnesota.

AP uses hGH .. Is an pneumonic for remembering that the Anterior pituitary is the endocrine gland responsible for the secretion of human growth hormone. I came up with this. But what if it were true? All this excitement over the limited time that he needed for recovery has to make people wonder if whether it is true, or the organization is just attempting to assure their fans that they should still come to the stadium with a sliver of hope of getting to see AP. I must also add that my tone would have been completely different had I been successful in my attempt to draft AP on to my fantasy squad. He was gone, and I received a consolation prize of MJD. Good day!

What the hell happened to cooper?
