You guys continue to talk past each other. Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - knows AP is a beast. That he runs for almost 100 yds on any Sunday on any team is not surprising. Not even a little. It also has nothing to do with Washington moving on from him. They did it to go younger, to give players who might actually be part of a long-term future the chance to play. And they did it because they feel the other RBs fit Turner's offense better.
It doesn't have to be 'either/or'. AP can be a great RB, and moving on from him may be the best thing for both AP and Washington. It really can work out that way. After one week we have determined that a team can win without AP (Peyton Barber doesn't suck btw) and a team can lose with AP balling out. That's just the way of the NFL. The RB can make a difference, but rarely are they franchise altering.
Bottom line. He's gone. He's not coming back. Every Washington fan alive is appreciative for what he gave while in B&G and wishes him well. I'm not sure what else there is to say about it.
