With AP in the backfield, he won't need to. The DB wouldn't be able to catch him. And even if he did, he'd get run over.
Seriously, though, this is a move the Vikes needed to make. They needed to add a playmaker who can stretch the field. A couple years ago, that was supposed to be Berrian, but who knows what the hell happened to him. It gives them a legitimately strong receiving core, especially when Rice comes back. Given the fact that they have one of the top 2 backs in the league, it makes the offense EXTREMELY dangerous. Load up to stop one, and you still have to deal with the other. Great move for the Vikes, and the fanbase here still loves him and is very glad he's back "home".
As for his issues, well, he has less baggage than a lot of other players out there. He hasn't been arrested and spent time in jail, no DUIs, is not in the league substance abuse program, and generally keeps to himself in the offseason (from what I've read and heard) and isn't out there hitting the clubs and doing things like shooting himself in the leg. Given the skills he brings to the table and what the Vikings needed, I'll deal with his baggage and overlook a lot of it. From everything I can recall, his tantrums have not directly lost a game for any of the teams he's played for.
