Right, because the same squad that couldn't get the job done last year can be expected to do a better job this year. When was the last year we had a no-name RB have a big year for us again?



Right, because fumbles were the reason he was let go from the Saints (two stud RB's) and Cardinals (crappy o-line) last year.

The comment about Snyder and Bruce was a joke. But as I've said there will be guys cut pretty soon that could help us and I've already given the Collins example. Also when CP got hurt I do remember Ledell Betts having a career year and Duckett was pretty much a non factor.

To counter that, we gave up a 2nd round pick for Duckett, only paying 1 million for Peterson, Alex Collins doesnt happen every year, and whose to say we cant add someone else. In my opinion and you can call be a dumbass or whatever, your level of disgust/anger is much too high for the actual situation.

Not at all. If AP was totally clean and had no transgressions I'd feel the same way. If you go back and look to see whenever we've signed old guys I'm never in favor of it.

But the way you are talking if no one knew the deal, you make it seem like we gave him 4 years at 45 million with 25 million guaranteed.

It is a vet minimum deal.

Signing AP doesn't preclude the organization from continuing their attempts to improve the team. If someone better is made available down the road who they think can make the team better, I'm sure they will due their due diligence.
