You can put me on that list also! I dont see him playing a full season in his NFL career. I have a feeling he will be on the injury report every other week as doubtful to probable!

I hope the Bills don't draft AP.

Its a concern, sure.. but when you look at the type of injuries he's had and how they happened, its not as bad as it seems. Its not like he's had one nagging problem, or knee / back problems. The guy is NOT run of the mill back, a lot of people think he's one of the best to come out in a while, so teams may be willing to overlook the injuries because his potential is so great.

That said, I don't know if I like the idea of trading up for him. Getting Turner, and then a LB with our 1st rounder (Willis if he's there, or hopefully trading down maybe 8-10 spots if he's not), makes the most sense to me.

I don't care for the guy either so no you aren't the only one.

Me neither. I'd much rather have Lynch than Peterson. MUCH.

Not just the past injuries, but just watching the guy run upright I can see Rodney Harrison pop him square in the chest and BAM, broken ribs and out of the season.

You are wise

I wouldn't mind AP for the right price but I think what we'd have to pay to get him is far more than he's worth.

I have a nagging suspicion that he's one of these guys who will light up the league for 2 years then more or less disappear.

Kind of like Cadillac Williams?

I don't like him. Except for the possible "baggage" I like Lynch a lot better! Having said that I still wouldn't draft an RB in the first round!

Concidering how many carries he had the injuries aren't that bad. He was that teams offense and teams knew it. There QB stunk and he was the only viable option and he still put up numbers.

As much as I like Lynch, thats just silly.. (assuming you mean if they were both there at 12, you'd take Lynch)

Wasn't convicted, charges were dropped, he didn't do it.

Absolutely. I'd rather have Lynch.
