I agree...I hope we retain him. What it’s important is to let him know his role as a backup to Guice. Will he accept that role? If he can, then I’m all for it.
There is no way in hell satisfied with rob fucking Kelly or Perine in that role. If it’s not AP, we need to go out and get someone else.
I think guice would be the backup to Peterson and I’m perfectly fine with that.
AP has proven he can still carry a heavy workload and excel at it. Guice can get a few series a game and gradually get experience over time.
AP and guice have actually spoken about it, and are excited about the possibility. Having them both in the game means the team would never be taking a “play off” and would be going full throttle 100% of the time. I think they could be a great tandem like in New Orleans with kamara and Ingram from last year.

Since Guice is coming back from injury and AP is old rotate them like NE does with their backs. Just let AP know his role before resigning him.Devils advocate here.
After his performance this season, why would AP be the back up?
He was awesome this year.
We don't know what DG will be.

Because Guice is the future and its smart to limit an aging RB carries. Also, Guice ability to catch the ball was heralded the short time he was here. The ability for a RB to pass catch out the back field has become a weapon that elevate offense. AP can do it, but it’s not as natural.
I fully believe we can use both in an offense that is versatile as well as balance.
Plus look at our WR....yes pass catching options are needed.
AP knows full well he would be looking at splitting carries with the young buck in the building.

Yeah and I think he knows Guice would deserve more of the carries. I'm extremely high on Guice, there's plenty of reason to believe he's very close to the talent that is Saquon Barkley. We'd have to see how he bounces back from the knee but I'd honestly be surprised if Peterson beats him out. Remember, Guice is a much more impressive receiver out of the backfield so in today's NFL he's got that versatility you really need.

I don't really care who starts but it would be fun to watch them combine for 25 or so carries per game. Get Scherff back, draft a stud LG, and keep feeding those 2 all season. Teams wouldn't like playing us.

I'm hoping the best news comes after Sunday's game, saying Bruce Allen was canned. This would make my season.
Yes! That would be greatly positive. Freshen up the place. Get the stench out.

Guice was a 2nd rounder starting his second year and is the future RB. I’m sure things will playout at training xamp.

Let rookies (Guice) prove they should start. Dont give away something that someone should earn.
AP played hard for us with a painful shoulder injury. Never complained or used it as an excuse.
Guice was a great college player. He has not proven it in NFL yet. I hope he becomes a star.
It's not as if Guice is a mystery, he was here all last offseason and through a good part of camp and he was definitely looking the part. The coaches have a good idea of what he can do.
