Successful production from C.Taylor means what for ADP (1 Viewer)

[g5jamz]

Do you think they'll let the knee repair itself? Really not much of a chance of making the playoffs despite recent victories.

 

[DMXATF23]

I'm fortunate enough to have both players, while I'd prefer ADP be back for the playoffs I can't emphasize enough a return to the RBBC would be atrocious. Keep in mind Taylor just torched one of the NFL's worst run D's.

If he is healthy he plays.. end of discussion.

When he does return we will be back to rbbc. 60/40 split..

 

[Slider]

The more Taylor plays, the more valuable he becomes. Makes no sense to rush AD back.

So you are telling me that if Peterson comes back fully healthy, they are going to limit the best back in the game to 60% of the carries?

Maybe so...but Minny is a team with QB issues. Being able to run when teams KNOW you're gonna run is impressive...regardless of what NFL team plays.

I still think if he comes back before week 15, then it will be a very limited roll the first few weeks. If he comes back before week 15:First game back.. 80/20 Chester.2nd game back, if 100%, 60/40.. Chester. and see how things are.If they wait until week 15, than 60/40 Chester that game, if no set backs 60/40 week16 ADP with maybe a 70/30 week 17.

Yup.

 

[smcindoe]

Based on all the wise feedback from previous Vikings threads, I assume that now they'll also shut down Taylor for the season. After all, he's a good player and they're not going to win the Super Bowl, so why risk it by having him take the field at all?

Yup.

Makes sense. Why don't they limit LT to 60% as well? I mean, it worked so well for the Vikings early in the season to limit Peterson. Maybe it will help San Diego turn things around if they limit LT.

Look, I'm sorry Childress doesn't care about your fantasy football team.

This has nothing to do with my fantasy team. You are making an assumption that Peterson will be limited to 60% of the carries when fully healthy. Chidlress has never made a comment like that.

They only reason for Peterson to come back is due to contract incentives...

Here is the solution...

Peterson's agent should negotiate a deal (project stats) so that they don't hurt this kids or the organizations future. Pay the kid but sit him down...

What say you?

What incentive would Minnesota have for such a deal?

They lower their risk of losing their rookie franchise back...I have read he and his agent feel pressured to bring him back due to incentives. Peterson gets paid, at least partially, and the Vikes let their franchise RB heal up. This would have to be perceived as good business by the other players as well.

I cannot very easily imagine a scenario in which a team gives in to pressure by an agent to renegotiate a deal mid-season that would have the team paying a player more money to not play.

I like the idea, but I don't think it will happen because from mgmt point of view it sets a precedent that will be brought up to them again in the future by lessor stature players.

Yes...maybe...Just a little out of the box type thinking...

 

[Nugget]

If there are any questions about ADP and his knee, let him rest. Showcase Taylor and trade him in the offseason for a higher pick. Hopefully the Peterson owners handcuffed Taylor and you'll have know RBBC for the playoffs.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

It means they don't rush him back. It means that Minnesota is a good rushing football team and it's not just all ADP because Taylor made that look very easy.

It means there might be more of a split carry thing between ADP and Taylor until ADP gets completely healthy, sort of like R. Johnson and Watson in Cinci.

 

[crimsonrebel]

Why shop Taylor in the offseason? Every team needs two good RB's, just like every team needs an experienced backup qb. Id only shop him if it was for a good WR

 

[Colin Dowling]

If they have a shot at the playoffs, as crazy as it sounds, they'll get ADP back on the field.

Why..Chet looked as good or better today.

Because they can't get to / win in the playoffs with Jackson passing the ball and Taylor as their only effective weapon.

Because you can find a serviceable #2 RB in the draft, FA, etc.. Finding a good Qb is not so easy. Derek Anderson could be available. If the offer was Derek for Chester straight up I think the Vikes could do worse.

Why wouldn't the Vikings simply sign Anderson as an RFA?

Anyone one think Taylor's performance hurts ADP's chances for ROY?

Not nearly as much as Marshaun Lynch continuing to play at a high level while Peterson is injured.

Because the Browns will tender him at the highest value, meaning the Vikings would have to give up a first and a third round drafts picks for him? There is no way this happens and if it does, the Vikings are stupid. The Vikes are more than just a quarterback away from getting to the big dance and they need their draft picks.

What? ADP would have had a 25/300/3 performance today!

 

[thayman]

Taylor looks very good behind that O-Line. Peterson looks awesome behind that O-Line. If the Vikings could get a halfway decent QB the proper mix of Peterson/Taylor will be incredible.

I know what you're saying but Taylor looked about as good as you could have wanted anyone to look today. ADP has been awesome but let me say this, ADP has had to look this good because I've been a Chester Taylor fan since he was backing up Jamal Lewis in Baltimore.I always thought he had a ton of talent and just needed the chance to show it, I knew he was better than Musa Smith when some thought he was the backup to Jamal a few years back.I thought Chester would do very well in Minnesota not really knowing for sure if ADP was the real deal. Thinking that if he didn't turn out to be, he'd be what we saw today.With as good as day as Chester had, when ADP is ready for the starting job, he'll get it back. Think of it as if LT2 ever went down for a couple weeks and Turner came in and had a big game or two. As talented as Turner is, he will be going back to his role when his time's up.

Absolutely. I like Chester Taylor, I felt bad for him when Peterson got drafted to MIN, because if healthy I know Peterson is so much more talented. If the Vikings can hold onto both of them and manage to figure out the right mix of a 1, 2 punch of Peterson and Taylor their rushing attack would be the best in the NFL IMO. OF course they need to find a QB that can back of the defense a bit.

Dude let it go. There's no way CT looked better than ADP today. If he ran for 250 then maybe, but still no.

TODAY he looked alot better than Purple Jesus.

 

[Smizzy]

You would be a fool to think BC would give ADP as much PT as he's been getting. His workload will be a lot smaller and after todays game Chester will be the feature back untill he is 100%

ADP puts butts in the seats. It is that simple. When he's ready, he's back in no matter the record.

You mean he looked better than ADP had ADP run Sunday with one wheel? Chester is observably slower than Peterson, and offers little that Peterson does not bring to the table.
