Peterson a Vikings receiving threat?
Vikings GM Rick Spielman on first-round pick Adrian Peterson, a running back from Oklahoma: "He is even more of a threat in the passing game than we anticipated because we never got to see it," Spielman said.

dont you see what this is, they are going to use Peterson the same way the Saints used Reggie Bush, but there is still one piece missing, they need someone to play the part of Drew Brees

I sure hope Adrian can throw and hand himself the ball because I don't know how else he's going to get it. Maybe Tarvaris Jackson is the second coming of Peyton Manning, but I'm thinking more like the second coming of Spurgeon Wynn.

I'm an Eagles Fan, and I really have to say, the Vikings are really turning into an "Eagles Lite" team. Look for Adrian Peterson to be used in the same fashion as a Brian Westbrook. To be honest, the city of Minneapolis and its people are really great. I hope the Vikings do well this year...just not as good as Phili..........

This is great news. Jackson is going to need a RB to check down to when getting blitzed every single play....

Tarvaris Jackson is the second coming of Jeff Blake, or Akili Smith. AD contending with Chester the Molester is a little different than Reggie contending with Deuce. Reggie and Deuce are completely different players. With this new info about AD catching passes, it sounds like the two are becoming more and more alike. Still, it would be nice to see what AD could do behind S-Hutch, and 400 carries.

If Peterson really can perform that well in the passing game then it will help the progression of Tavaris Jackson alot having a reliable checkdown guy. Also, they can use two back formations with adrian making the linebakers think pass opening holes for chester taylor.

Adrian would help the vikings this year but Tavaris Jackson is going to struggle in the NFC North with Bears and Packers in the division.

Not a real fan of Chillie Mac but it's not his fault there was no talent brought in... he doesn't really have the say... Thanks Spielman. I do like the fact that we might see some more screens from AP. I just ordered my Rolaids.
