He's proven he can go 10-6 with Adrian Peterson and a slightly above average defense and not screw it up too bad. Add Zimmer's D and you could probably even win a playoff game against the Redskins.

"... with Adrian Peterson and a slightly above average defense" isn't much different than what they had last year, except they got less from Peterson than in 2012 and more from a definitely above average defense.
It's the same story on repeat.

DP thought you would like this.
Willie Beavers, who has primarily worked at OG, was working at LT today. #Vikings needed more bodies at the position with Kalil out.

I really thought Ponder was going to make it. I was really pulling for him because he's a nice guy and that's all that matters in NFL football. But with this QBR of 5.6 last night I've had to face the reality that it probably is never going to happen for Christian.

One note from this morning on @gmfb: The #KCChiefs have made teams aware that QB Aaron Murray is available via trade. A low-cost option.

I'm told the #Chargers have released QB Zach Mettenberger.

I seen that. I have't really followed him this year. Would he be an improvement over what we have?dead_poet wrote:
Probably another question is will we go with 3 QB's this year?
