AP makes a terrific veteran backup to Guice, and takes some of the pressure off. Doesn’t automatically point to anything about Guice’s recovery. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FoosballFan 14 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 2 year $8 million deal but the second year is an option. Base salary is $2.5 million the first year. Sounds like an insurance policy until Guice is 100% 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrianM 1,294 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 My immediate take: Peterson's not just sitting the bench here, especially early in the season. But I think by the end of the year, at some point, Guice takes the reigns if he's in the lineup. Could be a Hyde/Chubb thing. I wouldn't totally shy away from Guice, but I also wouldn't want to have to spend a ton and need immediate results. He's on my early list of guys to buy low on in early season trades. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t imagine his phone is ringing off the hook with teams begging to sign him. His choice was probably re-sign with Washington or not play in the NFL. AP was probably told “as long as you’re more productive than Guice you’re the “starter”, and Guice is being told you need to take it from AP. Makes perfect sense for Washington.

dontclapGonorrhea 374 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 just going to be a RBBC. Best chance is to learn from a elite running back at one time. Thompson can teach him with pass duties. Guice may not have a huge season this year, but he has people around him to learn from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Odam 925 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 if (when Guice) proves fully healthy, he will be impossible to keep off the field. His talent/explosion is light years ahead of AP at 34 yo. How quickly we forget Guice was talked about in the same circle as Barkley leading up to last year's draft talent wise.

Gil Brandt ranked them 1 & 2 immediately following the draft as well. There were multiple sources that actually preferred Guice to Saquon. The dude is an instant pro bowl talent. He's not going to hold AP's jock on the sidelines. AP will be the one giving Guice a blow when needed. The market for AP was minimal, therefor he re-signed. They drafted Guice to be THE guy and they lost out on an entire season of it. That won't happen again if he's 100.

"He’s just one of those guys, he’s a freak. He’s a freak of nature. I honestly think he’s going to have a recovery process like AP did." "We’re planning on him being the guy this year," Thompson said of Guice. https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/redskins/chris-thompson-told-derrius-guice-take-it-easy-working-his-way-back-knee-injury Edited March 15, 2019 by Lamont Sanford Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bhawks489 3,678 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Could the knee be a lingering problem? It stems back to his college days in 2017 with a hyperextended knee that he didnt get surgery for. Ends up being the same one he went down with for the ACL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
