Do we sign Adrian Peterson next season? (assuming Murray is gone)

[Beast_from_East]

I am troubled by the lack of loyalty to Murray who half done his best to carry our team thus far.
Though we all half to move on from time time to time, I do not get the premise dat Murray should move on because he want more monies. Well, duh! Yes, he half carried our offensive, half no one noticed? We are OK with vast amounts of monies for Romo and Dez (what he will ax) but as soon as Murray does well and he deserve moneis we close the door to the Bedford Falls Bank.

(cue in the "Battle Hymn of the Republican")

In a sane and fair world, mein friends, we would look to pay Murray first and half Dez stand in line behind him. Just compare the contibutions to the team, huh?
Though I walk in the valley of fairness, I see little toward Murray and I see a lot toward Romo and Dez. When Murray was barrelling through the lines of rough defensive mans we cheered.
Now, on the unfrozen tundra of Jerra World, we see a man among mans usually running for 100 yards or more. And still we turn him away from the bank because there is no room at the inn.
Let us praise Murray, not assume he be gone. Let us compensate him and yes, Dez, too. Because, together, they can work it out.
This I belief.
(cue out "Battle Hymn of the Republican.")
Amen.

Murray and Dez did jack when Romo was sitting on the bench.................so anybody questioning how much Romo is being paid needs to learn the game.

Let's focus on this one point and then we can address others.

Who will cost more, Murray or Peterson?

Let's focus on Witten... Other players with kids. I won't play with a child abuser.

I can tell that this is a highly emotional issue for you from your multiple posts and I respect your right to your opinion.

My opinion is that Peterson isn't a child abuser, but a man who used an archaic and now unacceptable form of punishment.

Respecting each other's opinion or not is not the point here.

I wouldn't say emotional. There is right and wrong. He is wrong.
It's more a common sense thing.

Disguising child abuse with the word archaic makes it seem like it was acceptable in the past. It wasn't.
Getting an old school beat down from "archaic" parents is one thing. To set out to whip a child with switches and who knows what else is another thing. Take them to a whooping room(who makes that up??)

Your opinion based on lawyers techniques and deals being made is incorrect.

Your opinion, right or wrong, in your mind ... is still your own. I get that. But it is Not to be respected or understood.

I agree. Just say No to AD.

Whatever.

You let your emotions get away from you, to the point of being disrespectful to others and somehow expect that to be acceptable.

You continue to paint some picture of a torture chamber when there is absolutely, positively no evidence of it. But it serves your agenda so you continue to spout it. Truth be damned.

And then want to condemn someone else for having a differing opinion.

I don't need your respect for what my opinion is, just give the same respect for someone else to have one.

Because, despite what you may want to believe, mine counts every bit as much as yours does.

Lol @ whatever... You misunderstood what I meant.

Because your opinion comes from the bs lawyer/deal stuff is why I discount it completely.

As, stasheroo, I respect your opinion.

Conversely, I feel yours, in referring to a "whipping room", seem to be based on unverified rumor and more emotion than facts.

As I respect yours. In no way can I blame you for feeling the way you do. I would never accept anyone abusing children. I feel Peterson's issue stems more from ignorance than from true evil intention.

All good my friend.

An amazing recount from the child...

"According to police reports, the child, however, had a slightly different story, telling authorities that “Daddy Peterson hit me on my face.” The child also expressed worry that Peterson would punch him in the face if the child reported the incident to authorities. He also said that he had been hit by a belt and that “there are a lot of belts in Daddy’s closet.” He added that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was being hit with the switch while his pants were down. The child told his mother that Peterson “likes belts and switches” and “has a whooping room.”

Good. Glad to hear that. Happy that we can disagree without anything getting personal.

I have read those accounts, but I can't help but assume that authorities would have thoroughly investigated any evidence of these claims. While I have all the sympathies in the world for the child, I can't help but think that a child that age is not the most reliable of witnesses and that if the man wanted to do serious damage to a child, he easily could. If he hit that child in the face, something would break.

But, suffice to say, I'd be a "Yes" vote on Peterson (if we can't resign Murray), while you would be a "No".

And I can't blame you, nor begrudge you for feeling that way.

In this post/thread, I half not questioned Romo's megamillions. I just question the laments of paying Murray the monies he deserve though we seem willing to dish out huge sums to Romo and later to Dez.
