AP: Seriously....

[TheSaint]

Given the chance, will you take Peterson with your 1st round pick? I'm down at 11th pick so there's no way he'll be available...but even if he were I'd really have to think about it. Why? Well...

- We're already seeing the supposed effect Favre is having on the team in the locker room (that is if we're to believe the reports). But beyond that...

- Knowing Favre's penchant for wanting to throw a ton, isn't that going to limit AP's chances...not only just on play selection, but because Favre also chucks up quite a bit of air-balls (led the league last year), so again, I think that means Minny's O has the ball for less time and contributes to AP's opportunities.

Now, I know the standard logic is you take the best player available no matter what team he's on and that great players are always gonna make their numbers...but damn if I don't have a feeling that Favre is gonna kill AP's production this year.

So whadda ya think? I haven't been reading the FF sites but surely someone else must have thrown out the same sort of question.

and you didnt even get to injury and fumbles.

and you didnt even get to injury and fumbles.

No need to really....even if you consider both to be significant last year he was still #3 overall (third among RBs too) in scoring in our league.

Last year he was tops in fumbles but was also tops in yrds/game and yards. He was 2nd in carries and 5th in yards per carry. You might have a hard-on for the guy but I don't see how anyone can deny he's a great RB.

I agree he deserves to be up there, but I don't know whether it's Cutler's arrival and a presumption of switching to a pass-first offense or what, but I've seen him dropping past 7 in drafts...

I did a draft tonight and got Forte with the #7 pick. I was supper surprised he was there at 7. I had to jump all over him. I think he is going to be a beast this year.
