Quote:I think he wants to go to a contender but a contender doesnt want to pay him what he is asking for. I'm not opposed to signing him short term for the right price if he wants to come here. He's Adrian fricking Peterson. I don't know how many times his career has been written off as over and he keeps proving everyone wrong. I don't think he is a 400 carry back but could you honestly say that you wouldn't take a Fournette/AP backfield over an Ivory/Yeldon one? What a mentoring experience that would be... the player LF is always compared to splitting carries with him. 

As has been pointed out ubiquitously, AD (and LF) both suck out of the shotgun. Blake has only ever played out of the shotgun. 

 

It could be argued that Ivory/Yeldon would work better than trying to force either AD/LF or Bortles to play in schemes they aren't fits for. 

 

Especially when you consider the opportunity cost of having to try to force that round hole square peg fit is missing out on Thomas, Howard, Lattimore, Hooker, etc.
