Adrian Peterson Joins the Redskins
How the mighty have fallen. Adrian Peterson signed a vet minimum contract with the Skins, who must be desperate after losing Derrius Guice Guice Baby.
He might not even make the final roster. It’s hard to believe Peterson has much left. He surprised us once when he came back from the ACL tear to light the league on fire. I have no doubt Peterson has the drive. But his body can’t have much left. His ACL comeback was in 2012. That was 6 years ago. Man that’s weird to think about. Anyway AD is washed up now.
He’d have you believe something different. He’d have you believe he’s the same weirdo who beat up his kid’s balls with gusto and rode a camel on his birthday. But he joined the Saints last season and was absolute trash, then once he left the Saints became one of the best rushing teams in the league. Peterson’s entire skill set is rushing the ball. He can’t catch. When he’s in the game, he’s either going to block or he’s running it. His very presence limits what offenses can get away with planning. It used to not matter because Peterson was such a force that even when teams knew he was coming he could blow it up. He doesn’t have that anymore so he’s just a liability.
Now he’s going into an offense with Alex Smith. Alex Smith. The guy who never saw a 5 yard dumpoff to the flat he didn’t want to marry and grow old with. Peterson can’t catch. Do we really expect him to work in this offense? Smith needs his dumpoffs. If he doesn’t have a dumpoff who knows what happens. He probably explodes.
I look forward to Peterson sucking butt and crying about it because he hasn’t accepted the time has come for him yet.
it’s sad to see that AP is so bad now
You either retire on top or stay in a year too long and break down. Sadly, it happened to a lot of guys in a lot of sports. Unitas, Deion, Ewing, Kobe, even Jordan
Meanwhile LeBron and Brady.
*cough*defensive rule changes*cough*
Man being a Vikings fan i always loved watching AP but now he’s washed up and can t even get more than 50 yards a game. Here’s to hoping he makes the HOF
People still give the guy a chance. When I see him play it’s clear he still has vision and power, but he has no speed left. If he breaks into the secondary someone just catches him from behind. Those used to be touchdowns.
I still think he can be decent in our offense and he’s better than the alternative (Fat Rob). Plus we have Chris Thompson for Smith’s dumpoffs.
People forget Alex Smith got some wheels on him smh
Won’t be surprised if he has a half decent year (900 yrds 6tds) if only because the Redskins have a little bit of talent. Bro can still run fast, but isn’t as explosive.
It’s either Fit Rob or Washed up AP. I rather have washed up AP than Fit Rob running the ball
Plot twist, he actually can’t block either
Oh yeah… pretty sure that’s why the Saints shipped him more than anything.
Also – everyone remembers the Brett Farve INT at the end of the Saints/Vikings NFC Championship game, but I swear AP had like 5 fumbles, a few that were sure thing points.
This comic didn’t age well lol
