Adrian Peterson Sweepstakes ***Officially reinstated (again) and merged***

[xwalker]

Peterson is not your normal back.

That's the mantra of failure. Millions of people have failed at various endeavors because they convinced themselves that their situation/idea was the exception to the rule.

I saw a study that indicated the number 1 reason for failure was due to preconceived bias in making conclusions. Basically, people that go into something with a preconceived idea will find reasons that fit their original idea and discard reasons that don't.

A www what a great day sun shining gonna be warm and one day closer till AP is wearing the star. Absolutely fabulous!

I think Peterson has a couple of good years left in him, also he won't have carry the ball all the time, other backs will give him a rest, and he never and I mean never ran behind a line like the Cowboys line.

Maybe he does get two years. Maybe not. Regardless, he is probably going to want a 4 year deal with a big contract. I'm sorry, I don't want a 33 year old RB eating up cap space.

I'm gonna say it again: I really hope you guys are prepared for disappointment.

No, he is s great RB that is nearing the end of a great career. He could give the team two or three years. A RB like Gurley could give his entire career to Dallas. If he is drafted in the first round, Dallas will get a minimum of five years out of him.

I agree that Gurley would be great for the Cowboys and a longer term solution for the RB position. I would love for the Cowboys to get Gurley or Gordon, but if they can not, then Peterson would be a good idea.

I hear what your saying but taking out any draft day trades these four teams need a bellcow and all pick before 27.
San Diego none there but may be after Marriotta
Baltimore no explanation needed
Arizona no explanation needed
Detroit an injury riddled old Bell? Don't buy it.

All these teams are playoff caliber teams that need a rb there is no chance gurely Gordon make it to 27.

I want to see the Cowboys upgrade the RB, and win the Super Bowl for the next two years.

I'm going to say it again he is coming to Dallas. Whether or not he comes will not change the way I get up in the morning. I think the ones that are going to be disappointed are the ones who won't be able to argue how old and washed up he is. He will be coming with fire he will be coming with a chip on his shoulder he will be coming to remind everyone why he is the best RB on the planet. Now take your doom and gloom speech elsewhere.

Again, why are people so confident he's coming here? Did I miss something?

Then trade down, get an extra pick and pick up Ajayi or Coleman or Yeldon or one of the other guys in this RB heavy draft. Really the team could not have picked a better year to need a RB.

Maybe we give him only 2 years and don't have to give up a NUMBER 1 to get him, or trade up in draft and get Gordon or Gurley.

RB is not the biggest need by a long shot. The Giants beat a better Patriots team in the Super Bowl twice because they had a dominating pass rush.

We need more DL, not a RB. I just don't get why people think AP will make such a difference since we already had the best rusher by 500 yards and didn't win.

They were a 8-8 team without the running game they you don't seem to value. They could always draft a DE that would be 4th on the depth chart though. He wouldn't be an elite talent being drafted at 27, and he would not see the field, but you could rest at night knowing they drafted defense.

No. Some people are just obsessed. If this was the old Jerry, I would think so too. Luckily we have been smarter lately. I just hope that continues.

I agree with that there is talent in this years draft but not a one of those talents is AP.

 

[esloan]

Maybe we give him only 2 years and don't have to give up a NUMBER 1 to get him, or trade up in draft and get Gordon or Gurley.

If that's the case, I would be fine with him here. I just doubt he would agree to a two year deal. And I doubt we can get him for less than a two or three pick.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Again, why are people so confident he's coming here? Did I miss something?

Because every single day there is a new article that links him here. Everyday.

 

[jnday]

I agree that Gurley would be great for the Cowboys and a longer term solution for the RB position. I would love for the Cowboys to get Gurley or Gordon, but if they can not, then Peterson would be a good idea.

For the short term, AP would be a lot of help if the cost wasn't so high. The cap space is not what worries me. I don't want to see any draft picks used in a trade.

 

[jnday]

For all the complaining about Jerry and his poor management , I can't beleve fans want him to return to crazy way this team used to be run.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

No DOUBT...Peterson is one mis-step away from a lifetime ban. Why would anyone want a old RB that heals slower and has been in trouble, instead of a blue chip prospect like Dallas has held down for three straight Drafts.

Agreed. But the RB didn't change, the OL did. We made sure we kept our starters on the OL so that our running game will stay intact. Even if AP can show he is still the best running back in the game for a year or two, we don't need that to have an effective running game with this OL.

Murray got 1000 of his 1800 yards before first contact. People should let that sink in.
