Hockey, I've known ya for about 8 years and I still don't know what the 4242 stands for? Big Jackie Robinson fan???

Rules say 5yrs on the team it doesn't say 5yr with stats. So yes that player is eligible.

Rusty? He's been playing football for more than 20 of his 30 years of life...Come on! Grab the ball run people over and run away from them isn't something you can get rusty at.


AP is a beast and he cameback even stronger after his injury. But if someone sat out of football for a year they might not be in football shape. Not saying that's AP at all but doesn't mean he can't be a little rusty after not playing last year. But he will prolly get all that out the way turning training camp and with some preseason.

The thing that's about to catch AP is age. There are a handful of backs that had great seasons after turning 30, but the drop in production once they hit that point is pretty shocking as a whole, and I am talking about the top 20 backs of all time. He might have one 1400-1500 yard season left in the tank, but I wouldn't count on more than that

Yeah when a RB hits 30 they start falling apart. But I think AP is special and I think he could still be rushing for over 1,200 yards in his 30s. Frank Gore is 32 and he ran for 1,100 yards the last 2 years. If Gore was on a running team I think he could have another 1,000 yard season in him but since he is on a passing team I see Gore rushing for about 800-900 yards with the Colts. I think AP could still be a productive RB when he is 34.

It's possible. If you go down the top 25 all timers, there are 4-5 who had good years in their early 30's, 9-10 that had majordropoffs, and 7-8 that were out of the league . I think he is still good this year, maybe next

Ngata isn't Suh but the guy is still a beast. Lions might not be as good on D but they still have a great O. I expect Ebron to step up this year and I was a fan of Abdullah in college.

Lions don't have a great O. They have great talent but last year they were far from great. They won mostly on defense. Stafford holds them back with his inconsistencies

AP has really showed he is nothing short of a dumbass as a person. Like legit stupid.

But in terms of production on the field. I know what history says and it's completely reasonable to bring it up. But people really should not doubt the man. Nos prediction for him this year might be generous.

The guy very well could go on a rampage.

Needs to be knocked down a peg or too though. Can't believe he thought his leverage was that he could just retire and go join the Olympics lol.

I'm here, gimme a few. I don't know if age is the magic number it might also be carries... Some guys just cant g much over 2,000 before they lose a step... AD is not the average back and I could see him having 3 more years of good production.

What's up, guys?

So Nos thinks Ahmad Rashad is better than Tim Brown......I always knew there wasn't something quite right about that guy.

Anybody that thinks AP isn't going to be productive doesn't know much about football imo.

They might not of been great last year but with players lost on D I think the O will step up. Mega had a down year with 1,000 yards and 8 TDs. I think Mega should be more around 1,500 yards 12 TDs. Stafford might be inconsistent at times but he is still a good QB. I have Stafford in the tier with Rivers, Romo and Matty Ice.
