Bucs have "aggressive plan" to trade for AP

[MichaelNewtonII]

"According to a league source close to the situation, the Bucs have had internal discussions of trading for Peterson. Whether the pursuit for the veteran tailback has already occurred or will occur, no clear answer was given. Instead, I was told there are "aggressive" plans in place."

As I have mentioned before, it would be scary to have to face an offense consisting of Jameis Winston, Adrian Peterson, Mike Evans, and Vincent Jackson. Let's hope this doesn't happen.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

is this year just a race to field the oldest freaking team in the league

And please James Winston is hot garbage.

He's almost thirty and has NEVER ran for mor than 80 yards on us..

1. We'll see about that lol I beg to differ

2. Peterson never ran for 80 against us on poo cheese teams with no weapons but he. In Tampa we'd have to worry about vincent and evans or we could easily get burned in the passing game if we focus all attention on ap. Those play actions in Tampa could be very lethal with that personnel

Ehhhh. If he can keep it together off the field, Winston could be pretty good.

 

The one thing I will say though, is going to the Bucs isn't ideal. Lovie Smith's track record with QB's is pretty awful.

When the Bucs get somebody on their O-Line is when I start worrying about their offense

 

<yawn>

If you're 2-14 why in the world would you make a big trade for an aging running back. Dumb.

[Darth Biscuit]

Honestly I do hope they do something stupid like that... trade the future for an aging tailback while we're signing up and drafting these young guys.

If I were the Bucs, this is what I would be trying to do too.

 

Load up on offense, and make Lovie earn his reputation as a defensive genius...

 

This is the approach I wish the Panthers would take with Ron.

Yeah, but he had Jay "coach killer" Cutler, Sexy Rexy (who he got to a SB), and Kyle Orton...

 

But this is why you give Lovie a bunch of pieces on the offense...and say go show you mastery of the defense by doing more with less...

Almost 30 or not Peterson is a pure stud.. I don't understand why people think that you somehow become a bum once you hit 30

i know it was awhile ago, but in 09 we smashed em with Matt Moore and they had a playmaking offense and was in the NFC Championship game that year... AP had 35 yards against us...just saying that the Vikings have made the playoffs a few times that AP has been on that team, once even with Joe Webb as QB (when Ponder got hurt)

People like to make generalizations thinking they can be applied to everyone.

I picture the old atari, king kong game. But with Jerry Jones at the top. Throwing barrels of money at the bucs gm while he's trying climb the vikings ladder to AP. This is one of the few times in my life where I'm actually routing for the Cowgirls
