While Vikings RB Adrian Peterson believes he can start the 2012 opener, some suggest he open on PUP list. By doing so, the team would effectively be protecting Peterson from himself. By all accounts, AP is a freak of nature, and he's ahead of schedule in his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered late last year. He's such a fierce competitor, it wouldn't shock anyone to see him suit up in Week 1. But what if he's not fully healed? ... It's a sticky situation, for the sole reason that doing what's best for the organization in the long haul (i.e. giving Peterson a mandatory 6-game vacation at the beginning of the season) would be an admission that the team doesn't have realistic intentions of fielding a competitive team in 2012.
