Folks still calling for Peterson to rotate need to check the stats.  The king will not be spelled by him.
Not rotate but throw him in once in a while as a change of pace/fresh legs.

Does Rankin play a whole game, every game?

Been there didn't do that.  Adding Peterson to the AR was a waste as he wasn't used.  Each club has a different circumstance.  In our case the additional player that is available by not dressing Peterson is a better option imo.

We can give Demski and MCI a few touches.  Screen to Daniels, sweep to a speed guy.  These are options we already are not doing and I would mix in long before I start Peterson. 

Full disclosure I like Peterson and he will get his shot eventually.

It would still be a great idea to use another RB with a different skill set along with Brady.

Brady had one very obvious weakness and there's a way to get around it but we refuse.

Brady is the best Canadian we have on either side of the ball. Sure replace hin.

Sure you can win without a no-edge RB, Toronto and BC win with very use of the run game. We use Wilson, Demski and White on jet sweeps and shallow drag routes across the middle when the linebackers drop

Brady is our best NAT and contributes significantly to our offense. Neufeld has been decent on the O line, whiles Demski's contributions have dropped off this year. Same with Kramdi. Lawson has been serviceable at DT but hardly a force to be reckoned with, and Kelly, I can't see him starting for any other team than ours.

So rather than bring in an IMP RB to give us the 'edge' run, I'd like to see us significantly upgrade our NAT talent, its the fundamental building block of any roster. We need a dominant NAT O lineman like Chung and Desjarlais used to be for us

We gave up a league worst number of sacks this year, and upgrading that unit has got to be priority #1 with a bullet!!
