Ehh Peterson would worry me more 4 years ago. Not so much now. He was horrible before getting hurt last year, has never really played well against us and is the most one dimensional 2 down back in football. If he's in the game you know he's getting the ball. Hall of famer, but won't play like one this year, no matter where he is. Let the Aints waste their cap space on an old RB while they have Ingram, and continue to ignore defense and draft poorly.

Cool. Everyone talks about them being in salary cap hell on here, so I just assumed. I don't have time to keep up with it

1. 99% of people on here don't understand how the cap works

2. Be real, you have nothing but time

Peterson is going to beat some ass. His kid's ass not ours.

Strange signing for a team that wants to throw 40 times a game.

Meh, doesn't scare me anymore - not even an upgrade over Ingram. 

Nope. We had issues against Ingram containing him

They don't want to throw 40 times a game. They've mentioned many times trying switch to a balanced or even run-based game. Who knows how much he has in the tank. I give him the benefit of the doubt because he is a freak. I think the change in offensive scheme will help him out tremendously, not to mention playing with a future HOF QB. I've said this in other threads but watching their offense the last few years has been unbearable. He is another victim of the read-option and shotgun runs.

Objectively that would be a good addition to an offense that was already hard to stop. In Minnesota teams just loaded the box and you can't do that against Brees. On a positive side they essentially traded Cooks for Ginn so I would take that download in a heartbeat.

I agree NFC south is going to one  of the better division by end of the season 

But I still believe panthers will reclaim the throne 

[Carolina Cajun]

Are the saints gonna dramatically change their offense?  Because if they don't, AP will suck.  Remember when the vikings went spread for Bridgewater and all the sudden AP turned into trash and he made them go back to a more pro style that he felt comfortable with?  This will be yet another saints big name signing that sucks for them because loomis loves to square peg a round hole.  FWIW, as much as Gettleman can piss us off, he does tend to do a good job of finding guys that fit our system and not just the big names that we all drool over.

[Riverboat Ron]

Don't really understand this, you already have Ingram so you add a guy who receives even worse out of the backfield to share carries.

This reminds me of when the Saints signed CJ Spiller and everyone handed the Saints the preseason title.

[Fournettecation]

He's 32 years old

[R0CKnR0LLA]

every single damn year the saints sign some big name offense player, media talking heads say they're a lock to win the division, their defense ends up being straight garbage and they finish 7-9

every. damn. year.

[rodeo]

says he wants to go to a contender, goes to a team that hasn't had a winning season in 4 years. clearly decision making is AP's strong suit.

[rodeo]

anyway the Panthers defense will continue whipping him like a child's testicle. Peterson has never had anything for us.
