Why Peterson will be a Texan...

tulexan said:
Because DeAngelo Williams didn't have any looming law suits and scandals and didn't have a difficult agent.

oh please, excuses excuses. why did he wait untill the second day to pickup a rb then. The rb class was so deep last year, if he was really concerned about getting D Williams why not pick up one in the 2nd or 3rd rds. dont seem like the Saints were worried about looming law suits, now there contending for a super bowl. Do u hear anything about Reggie B scandals. Have u even heard of it all season?:secret:

No you don't, the Texans overreacted and overestimated the effect that these lawsuits/scandals would have on his image and career. There is also a story that McNair personally asked Reggie about these stories and Reggie lied to him, so McNair didn't think he could trust him to be the face of the franchise. The reason why I think they waited so long to pick a running back is that they were shocked DeMeco was still available in the second round, thought that Spencer and Winston were better linemen than the running backs that were available were running backs, and Charlie Casserly pleaded with them and convinced them to pick Owen Daniels. They didn't have a 5th round pick, and picked Lundy with the 6th.

Well, i havent heard anything about Reggie B scandals since before the season even started, and it seems like it's died down, and makes the Texans look even more silly, if they were that serious about drafting a rb, like u say. So expect the same type of drafing this year, meaning no rb in the 1st rd buddy.

Well, you all did it.. you made me laugh.

You talk to me about how much need we have a RB even though we already have decent backs at RB along with DD/DW coming back. That didnt convince you. Then i talked about Kub trait of Denver where they dont believe in taking a RB in the first round. You discounted that as well. I, also, tried to convince you that he wont make to us anyways... and you still wear visors.

Folks.. You are setting yourselves up for disappointment AGAIN. We are not getting Peterson. You are trying to tell me that we will discount every other need that we have for Peterson, but other teams wont discount thier needed positions. They will draft not BPA, but on need only until he falls to us. Then Kub will go against his philosphey of the past and go with him with a stocked RB backfield when we have Major need in other positions.

I really not trying to be a booboo head here.. but you all really need to think about this seriously and understand it aint going to happen. I have NEVER played the Sig game, but I will put my Sig on the line because I am that confident it wont happen.

i guess you didn't hear the rick smith interview. if we were to pass on adrian peterson with the 8th pick, i'd be more angry than i was the night before the '06 draft when we signed mario. peterson is nothing less than electrifying.

This makes no sense. They tried to draft a RB in the first round last year, but were outbid by the Bills in the trade up. If DeMeco was picked in the first round and Addai was available when we picked we might have picked him, but he wasn't and DeMeco was so we took the best player. If Maurice Drew was available in the third round, we might have taken him instead of Eric Winston. He wasn't, so we picked the best player. We waited to the sixth round because we felt that we weren't reaching for a player and there were better players available. It was not because Denver doesn't draft running backs high in the draft.

i see reasons either way how peterson could go early or could fall to us--they all seem valid.
cant agree with you on being set at RB. davis-williams isnt coming back. taylor and lundy have proved zero. dayne had a good four-five games. if AP is there, he will be the BPA, he should be the pick.

if he isnt, i am fine with a trade down. but to say there is no chance he couldnt drop, i think it might a bit inaccurate.

I have to disagree that FO will be making picks based on sexiness. I hope they select the player who they feel can contribute and have the most impact with the team.

For instance in analyzing AP contribution to the team, the Texans rushed an average of 26.9 times a game for a total of 431 rushes for an average of 3.9 ypc and 1687 yds last year.

With the addition of a healthy AP playing 16 full games a yr and putting the ball in AP's hands 20 times a game, 320 times a year and using the productivity of the last years Oline play, projecting an aggressive 4.2 ypc for AP is 84 yds per game/1344 yds per yr.

Based on last years numbers, the other backs would get 7 rushing attemps per game or 111 yds a yr at 3.9 ypc is 28 yds per game/433 yds per year. AP's 1344 total yds and the other backs 433 yds comes to 1777 yds per yr.

AP would have given you 5 or 6 yds more per game or 90 additional yds for the year.

Now if you going to say the Oline will be better, which I hope it is, it will also be better for the other backs. If you going to say AP will get better ypc than 4.2, keep in mind that Larry Johnson, Steven Jackson, Deuce McCallister and Tatum Bell all avg 4.4 yds per carry. If you to project 4.8 ypc for AP, thats 1536 yds per year or additional 282 yds to last years total or 17-18 ypg.

I don't know if I call that sexy and can understand why Kubiak shys away from RBs in the 1st RD. Now if the FO finds a premier pass rushing DE who combined with Mario will limit opposing QB 3 seconds or less to pass, the DE would be a better contribution and impact for the team.

Great post! But what about touchdowns?
 
Yeah, but in the beginning of the season we would be lucky to get 30 yards rushing out of our team. I would take a guaranteed 80-90 yards of rushing out of one player any day.
