Sounds like the old Ted is interested in trying to sign AP. I say this is a bad idea. Convince me I'm wrong. AP is old, hurt a lot, fumbles too much and has too many zero yard carries. Sure you get a home run every now and then but it sure makes it hard to sustain drives when its always 2nd and 10 when you ran the ball. I'd much rather have a E. Elliot type runner than gets 5 yards every carry and is always falling forward. Thoughts? |

I see no reason to pick up AP, other than the "Favre" effect anyway. AP isn't a receiving threat (3rd down) and I doubt his ability to carry the load as the team's number 1 running back. To say you'd rather have Zeke...well no shit  Problem is, there aren't many Zeke Elliots out there. |

There is little upside to AP and I doubt he could be the full time running back at his age. I don't think he can take the pounding.
AP made a ton of money in MN, considering all his children I wonder if he has any left.

If you don't pay an arm and a leg, why not? He doesn't have to be a full time back w/ Montgomery back there. Montgomery can be the guy to catch passes, etc. AP is more of a homerun threat than Lacy. PA w/ AP and Rodgers could work. Sign him to a 1 year deal. If it doesn't work, oh well. I'd try and draft someone that can contribute too although they need more help on the other side of the ball.

I think AP could have a good season if he has a good offensive line and splits carries with another back. Personally I think he will go to warmer weather. I do not see any downside to having him on the team, if they do not overpay for him. He would look awful studly in a Packer uniform, but I hope that doesn't happen.
New England would really be a nice fit for him, in my opinion.

Having a running back would be nice.
