Can The Cardinals Catch Up On Offense?

Related Topics: Adrian Peterson, Steve Keim

Who would have ever thought that through seven weeks that Adrian Peterson of the Redskins would be outrushing David Johnson?

Peterson—-101/438/4.3/3 TD/0 Fumbles

Johnson—-106/335/3.2/5 TD/2 Fumbles

Of course, if the Cardinals had decided to keep Peterson at $3M this season, they could have made it easier to play David Johnson more as a receiver. After all, Steve Keim gave up 2 6th rounders to acquire Peterson (1 6th rounder in the trade with the Saints and 1 6th rounder comp pick they lost in the process). As it turned out, having Peterson on their side might have given the Cardinals a better chance to beat the Redskins in Week 1.
