AP to Dallas?

[KJJ]

It makes no sense for the Vikings to trade Peterson when they just used their #1 on a QB. The Vikings will be playing outdoors in the cold for 2 seasons until their new stadium is ready and their young QB will need the security of Peterson in the backfield. The trade would make no sense for the Cowboys bringing in what's left of Peterson who's pushing 30. His 1266 rushing yards in 2013 was the lowest total of his career other than his 970 yard injury plagued 2011 season. His 4.5 average was the second lowest of his career. It would be foolish to give up a premium pick for a 29 year old RB who's in decline.

I don't think you understood his point.. not surprising though. Mouth breather, indeed. How's Eli doin this offseason, bro?

I understood perfectly his point. I used that to back my point. Can't you see that?

No idea what your mean by the Eli question.

His point was a counter argument to your last post..and stood only to strengthen my statement that stats are absolutely telling of the story when viewed in the right mannar. Obviously if you choose to look at individual numbers rather than at the whole picture, you can come away with a skewed assessment as you did. But again, there's a reason more and more organizations in most major professional sports leagues are trending towards using analytics to build their franchises.

I'd burn the phone and drop the remains in acid.

Only way to be sure.

The writer of this speculation sparks a pretty good point.

If you're the front office, do you really want to re-sign DeMarco Murray? The answer is probably no. Even if he has a great year. I'd be more interested in franchising him and trading him if possible.

The ability for us to afford Adrian Peterson next year as opposed to this year is much higher. The problem with the theory is that Peterson will also be a year older. That being said it would be a 3 year deal worth 43.25 million per year. And you could always try to lower that base as he deteriorates. The first year would be cheap, and you could always cut ties in year 2, especially since we would have a better shot at absorbing that money in 2016.

noway am I paying a 30+ year-old RB with massive carries for 43 million.

those that rely on analytics are going for a big fall. I agree they need to be used more but to rely on them for most of your ideas is a huge mistake. Humans have too many variables to use analytics on and expect to not make some HUGE mistakes. You need old fashioned Mark 1 football instincts to balance them out.

I agree.. i think that falls in with the "looking at the full scope of things" idea, rather than just at individual numbers..but i understand what you are saying about the organizations that rely on it too much.

In a way Dallas fell into that trap- Gil Brandt said the main reason they did not draft Mike Singletary was because he was half an inch too short for their minimum height requirements for LBs.

Yea, that is a shame.. especially with one of my favorite Cowboys ever being Dat Nguyen.

Yeah no telling how many others we might have passed on due to that narrow view we took late 70's and on. Probably one of the big reasons we fell off the cliff.

Whatever dude. Back track, back track, back track.

 

[Doc50]

nice post. Still don't want him.

I ain't payin' for no RB esp in a ZBS. We can draft them.

Right.

Notice how long it took for the first RB to be picked this year? It's become clear that they're easy and cheaper to find in later rounds, and the OL that blocks for them is much higher valued.

Granted, AP is special, but at what price and at what risk?

Just doesn't look like a sound business decision.

 

[jnday]

This shouldn't even be a consideration. Maybe five years ago, but not now.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I give this less than a 0% chance of happening.

They're not going to be trading for AP.

I think what had happened with your phone is... You asked SIRI, "where is the closest pizza joint" and it came back with = Adrian Peterson rumored to Dallas

I don't have a siri, I'm not an Apple fan...it popped up on my blink feed, but that was an entertaining post
