AP is great, but look where Minny is at with him now. He might miss part of the season, and even when he is back, how effective will he be? He has been the best RB in the game, yet minnesota has had 2 losing seasons in a row with him now.
Also might have something to do with the fact that Minny hasn't had a good QB since Favre went off in 2009. AP had almost 1400 yards and 18 TD's in that timeframe. The quality QB was the reason for their success.
For those that are rooting for Lil Colt to prosper and make it as a QB, you'd better HOPE that Richardson is the first pick and they grab a quality TE with either 22 or 37 because THOSE two things along with a RT, NOT Blackmon are what will help make him successful, which I'm still certain WON'T happen. With as much as he checks down/ throws short, those two type players will be his safety valves/life savers, NOT Blackmon.
And believe me, this is coming from someone who thinks you can be successful running by committee.
