Will the Vikings be different after the Bye? (1 Viewer)

In week 4, 12 touches in the first half and over 100 yrds, but only 2 touches in the 2nd half.

ADP is not only the most dynamic player on that offense, he is the only guy who puts fans in the seats, as well.

Childress has stubbornly maintained so far that Taylor is the starter, but you would think he would want to keep his job, right?

So Peterson's GOT to be featured more, right?

Please, Brad, I'm hoping you read this....

No.

Why?

He's not a stupid man, whatever you might think. Of course he wants to keep Taylor fresh, and I can't blame him. But after week 4, Peterson should be featured more than he's been. At least I hope so.

The 1st half is really AP's best chance for points as they are likely to be behind more in the 2nd half and be forced to pass. AP would be more valuable if MIN started getting good QB production in the 1st half and were able to score 14-17 points by then. The supporting cast is just not good enough for AP to get 20-25 touches every week, IMO.

figure they think why mortgage the franchises future on a season that was written off before it started.

Even when they're behind, if Peterson is as special as he seems, wouldn't you want him out there to catch those passes? Besides being their best RB, he appears to be their best WR, as well! He should be used the same way that San Diego uses LT, with the same amount of touches.

Man I have ADP and have quickly fell in love with him. I thought for sure Taylor would take a back seat when he came back from injury and ADP would rule the roost. I think they will continue to split time. I have a feeling Taylor is going to see more time. Same ole story... rookie, young, blocking.. bla bla bla.... ADP is a MAN and needs the ball!!!!

Jackson will be back at QB...they will be worse.

The Vikings are competing w/ Atlanta, Miami, and St Louis for the services of Brian Brohm or Andre Woodson. An elite QB is the only thing that will save this franchise. ADP will still split carries w/ Taylor all season, IMO. For some reason, they're stuck on getting both their share of action. Maybe so they can get a higher draft pick? :blackhelicopter:
