The Saints May Get A Transcendental RB After All...

[Saca312]

The thought of homegrown talent Leonard Fournette to any team other than the Saints must be disheartening for any of those fans. However, they may be getting a nice consolation prize instead.

Instead of getting the next Adrian Peterson, looks like they may be getting the actual one.

 

He's old and injury prone, but a change of scenery may prolong his career. Still a threat any way you look at it, and the Saints o-line is actually better than the Vikings.

Thoughts?

Seems like AP has been linked to literally every team in the league.  I don't care who he signs with, if my memory serves me well, he's never torched us too bad.  Plus he's not getting any younger.

That's fine. We dominate him.

[therealmjl]

Also doesn't seem like a good fit at all lol smh

Saints and salary cap don't belong in the same sentence

They'll probably give him the $8 million per he wants too.  

This should supplant the fleur-de-lis as their logo.  What a joke.

AP is kinda overrated anyways. The fumbling severely outweighs anything else he contributes.

"we dominate him"

 

he hasn't had a great QB in years and he'd be teaming up with Brees & Payton. This would suck.

Would have been sick many years ago.  Welcome to 2017.

Y'all need to quit being tunnelvisioned butthurt fans.

 

 

 

youall know it would be a good move for them and deep down wether your coucious of it or not it bothers you they got him. (if they get him)

He has always been a victim of the stacked box and he has recently been a victim of shotgun runs. This move would solve both of those problems and would certainly be better for him than playing for the Vikings.  I think we do relatively well against power backs but go ahead and put me in the camp that says Peterson is not done putting up good numbers. In the right situation (like the giants - which oddly doesn't seem to be in play), he is still a top 10 back.

Makes me think back to Stephen Davis to Carolina back in 2003. Could have a similar impact.

This is what the forum index shows... 

 

 

I thought to myself... yeah... sounds about right.

Im usually one to mirror this sentiment, but AP isn't clutch. At all. Period. 

I'm more bothered that they have Ginn than AP.

Plus as others have mentioned, we've historically OWNED AP.
