Adrian Peterson: 296 Yards and a New NFL Record

Transplanted Caper · 11-05-2007, 08:18 AM

Wow. What a game. Peterson has been fantastic all year long.

drafted him in the second round of my fantasy team and loving every minute of it... i have never seen a TB in a very long time press the hole as AP does, his vison and acceleration our in a class by himself...he is a stud, point blank!!!!!!

AP is the best RB in the nfl. Hands down. I hope LT took some notes yesterday.

Just sooooo surprising when a rookie already has 1000+ yards rushing after only 8 games, AND he's splitting time. FIRE Chester Taylor, and just put Adrian Peterson in there, he's on pace for 2000 yards this season.

All I can say is "HOLY TOLEDO BATMAN"

Blaze_1UP · 11-05-2007, 12:13 PM

As long as he stays healthy, AP is the second coming.

Here is a sad story, i was watching the Vikings-Chargers game (a.k.a the AP Show) and i fell asleep when it was 14-14 and didnt even get to see the record breaking run!

LOL, that's nothing ... on another board I saw him cracking an all time top 10 list.

He's the best pure runner in the league, not the best overall back....yet.

He's got the cutback ability of Sayers, the explosiveness of O.J. Simpson etc. He's gonna be great.

NFL Replay on NFL Network Tuesday night. You can see it again.

NFL_WIZARD · 11-06-2007, 07:19 AM

Good job on that, he got all his yards after half-time!
Whoever has him in fantasy is all set for like 6 years....when the Viking s get a qb, they are a playoff team, easily.

LooseChange25 · 11-06-2007, 02:18 PM

I was somewhat sarcastic when I said that. But not much. AP hits the hole like no back before. And when he gets through the hole and past the first line, there isn't too many players in the NFL that will stop him. When he is in the opem field, he turns it on and has like a 7th gear. Its crazy. I realize its only 8 games into his career. But a rookie on pace for 2,000 yards? I think its safe to say he is the BEST RB IN THE NFL TODAY. Name one thats having a better season. Addai is the only back I can think of, because he is doing both rushing and receiving. So no I'm not going to relax, because I have been a vikings fan through the good times (not too many) and the bad. This is something all Vikings fans should cherish

Oh and as for firing chester. NO. He isn't complaining about lack of carries. He gives AP a breather when he needs one, and its not just a #2 back going in there and taking a carry. Its a #1 back taking the #2 spot. Its becoming more and more evident in todays game that you NEED two solid RB's, and thats what we have.

And we found our QB in Brooks. (Sarcasim) I just have to say it because I live an hour away, and played the high school he went to (Grand Forks Central Knights). I also believe the vikings are only a QB away from a Dallas caliber team.

jBuds · 11-06-2007, 02:18 PM

He's amazing. Flat out joy to watch.

Too bad he's having the year he is, though, because he's severely overshadowing the great year that Marshawn Lynch is having in Buffalo

I understand what you're getting at but to say "the best running back in the NFL today" is different from saying "he's having the best year out of all running backs" because no matter how you try to word it ... Adrian Peterson is not on LT's level (yet).
