I think Peterson may end up having the best year of his career this season. If others feel he will drop off that's fine but I have yet to see one legitimate reason cited.The OP cites the loss of Hutchison who, unless I missed something, is still on the roster. McNabb should be no worse than the QB play ADP has had all of his career with the exception of 2009. Plus, he's playing for a big pay day.And to all those who say they have watched this guy play and don't see a "transcendent talent" or even that they have "never been impressed" with the guy's ability then thank you for letting me know that I should NEVER really listen to your advice or opinion on football talent.
Hutch is no where near the player he once was. McNabb was worse than Favre just last year. Adrian could very well hold out. He's a good back. He's not as good as Johnson nor is he LT2 in his prime or Barry. He's very good. He's a professional and he stays in great shape. However this is the worst team he's ever been a part of. He's going too high in drafts. He just is.
First of all, you said "make up for the loss of Hutch" implying that he was no longer there. Just because the guy underperformed last year does not mean he is done as a lineman. And either way, it's a misleading statement.Secondly, McNabb was NOT worse than Favre last season based on any metrics, reasonable observation, or common sense. Thirdly, saying he is not as good as Chris Johnson, LT2 is his prime, or Barry Sanders, is not exactly a knock OR anything close to a valid argument to knock his FF value this year. And he is a different type of back than those 3 but arguably just as good and definitely in the convo.Fourth, it's subjective, speculative, and likely wrong IMO to say this is the worst team he's been a part of. Lastly, ADP has stated he will not hold out and it would make ZERO sense for him to do so at this point after particiapting in all of camp so far. So again, there is NOTHING to base this on other than your gut feeling. Hey, maybe your gut is right but you have offered zero in credible arguments to support your gut. As others have said this is either a fishing trip to lower ADP's value or a baseless opinion supported by misguided arguments.
