AP is sick!

[The MVPlaya]

AP is just straight up sick...

[Killericon]

Best RB in the league this season.

[FantomForce]

Can you say Offensive Rookie of the year

[ro_50]

AP is just straight up sick...

When I first saw this, I thought you meant The "Associated Press." :>

[spdirty]

got me 40 points today in a week where about half my team was on a bye. !Booya!

[OrangeShadow]

thats why i drafted him

[55CrushEm]

Damn, I started him.....I thought he was healthy. Is it the flu?

Ohhhhhh.....my bad.....ebonics.

[MileHighMagic]

AP is just straight up sick...

Yeah, AD is too. :approve:

[The MVPlaya]

Whose AD?

[MileHighMagic]

Whose AD?

Adrian "All Day" Peterson

[Sassy]

Damn, I started him.....I thought he was healthy. Is it the flu?

Ohhhhhh.....my bad.....ebonics.

Hilarious!

[bpc]

He's fun to watch. I'm just wondering when the injury prone AP from college will show up.

He is good... this just goes to show how bad the rest of OU must have been compared to him when he was on the field.

[Arkansas Bronco]

With his injury probs AD should be kicked out. But he is very impressive and if the hornheads had a decent qb would be a good team.

What do you mean by this?

[Arkansas Bronco]

"AD" "All day" cause he isnt when he is hurt just speaking of nick names.

[JJJ]

The guy is a stud. But lets see if he can stay healthy for a full season.

LT puts up 200 today with 4 TDs though just to remind him who he has to unseat to become the best.

[Requiem]

170 of his 220 yards were on three carries, he needs to do a lot better job full-time, but he can bring it in relief though. He'll be great.

[Bronco Billy]

3 carries or 20 carries, it's still 220 (or 170)yards! Barry Sanders would be bottled up all day, then break out a couple 50 yarders. (Not trying to compare the two - just giving an example)

[gunns]

Oh yeah, 361 total yards. Those of us that have him in one of our leagues are doing the happy dance. :egbgb:

[Sassy]

I had to play against one of those teams! :(

[Sassy]

I need the Seahawks score to end in 7 and the Saints score to end in 6 for "$50!

[Jens1893]

Wonder whats gonna happen when the Oklahoma trolls see this thread ...

[400HZ]

He had sick returns too.

[lazarus4444]

Adrian "AD" Peterson is a major stud. He reminds me of a slightly smaller Bo Jackson, this should be a LOT of fun to watch him the next few years. I pray he stays healthy.

Accept for week 17...he should take a breather and get ready for the Pro Bowl ;D

The guy is a freak.

3 long distance runs in the same game by a guy who is reknown for making long distance runs should come as no surprise to anyone who has seen a few minutes of Oklahoma football over the last few years.

He's doing exactly what he was able to do in college.

He's the best pure runner in the NFL.

[epicSocialism4tw]

AD is one of those guys who makes everyone else look a few steps too slow. Especially coming out of the backfield. The guy hits the LOS at the speed of light. If he gets through the LOS, the defense has trouble tracking him down because he can lower his shoulder and knock your teeth out, he can juke you out of your cleats, and he can run around you.

As a rook, he just went into Soldier Field and basically put the Vikes on his back and won the game for them.


Move over Tomlinson...your reign was short and now there's a true transcendent back in the league who stacks up with the greats.

Peterson is fun to watch and he looks like he's gonna be a good one but let's not get carried away yet.

When he hits a hundred TDs, we'll talk. :)

In a Fantasy Football era, I guess that TD's are what are most important to the casual fan. LT can rack up the TD's. When I look at LT on the field over the course of a game, I dont see a player in the class of Jim Brown or Barry Sanders. When I look at AD, I see a player that has the potential to belong with that all-time greats.

Not a knock on Tomlinson, who I saw here down the road in North Texas for a few years and have followed in the pros, but AD is transcendent. If he stays healthy, he'll have a highlight reel as long and as awe-striking as either Sanders or Brown.

Well, I guess every football analyist on the planet is wrong about LT then.

LT can do it all. Run, catch, pass, block. He's the most complete back there has been in a long, long time.

I'm not knocking Peterson either. I think he's gonna be awesome. But putting him above LT after six games in the NFL? Give me a break.

Well, after seeing both of their college careers extensively and seeing how each one of their games has translated into the NFL, I can say that Peterson's transition has been more impressive.

Where Tomlinson takes what is given, Peterson forces you to give up.

The great ones take the game from you. They bowl you over on the way to victory. Peterson will be a better back in the NFL just as he was in college.

Peterson will be the Jim Brown or Earl Campbell to Tomlinson's Emmitt Smith.

That analogy should make sense to anyone who has watched football for a long time.

Tomlinson is one of those players that you watch and are somewhat impressed by, but not awe-stricken by. He's the type of player that looks better in the box score.

Peterson's the type of player that gains 150 yards and you think, "Was that all?"

No knock on Tomlinson. He is what he is.

It's all good. Everyone has their own opinion. I've seen LT play in person many times and I was in awe at the things he could do on the field.

[Pat Bowlen]

Ebonics?

[MVPlaya]

Yeah, these LT to AP/AD comparisons need to stop.

I don't see how you can possibly write a couple posts in which AP is better than LT in anyway.

You're trippin hardcore, LT has played years, AP has played how many games? Being healthy is key to being anything in the NFL to begin with. This was AP's first break out game to...

Let's not overlook LT's 4 TDs today.

One reason LT is not as "awe-striking" is because he's been doing it for years and years. He's a straight up football player.

Your posts consist of points of just "running" the football. Do you ever consider blocking and catching?

LT takes what he's given? What about the sorry oline he had a couple years back? Not to mention he had 100 receptions.

You're rediculous with these AP > LT posts...

You're on some good piff with this one...

We can compare once AP takes a good beating for a couple years...but for now pass that ****!

[OrangeShadow]

needless to say i won in my league i have AP and LT bwahahaha

You'll find that the players I do PR for here on the site are all historically important players at their given position in their respective sports.

You can follow my Peterson promotion all the way back to his freshman year at OU. Vince Young from his sophomore year. Dirk from the beginning. Elway as well. Champ Bailey.

Angryllama players are always great. ;D

Guy's got fabulous talent. I hope he has a long career.

Man, and can run back kicks too.

[lod01]

Explosive. However, the second TD run should never have been a TD. If you saw the game, the typical Bears move of trying to strip the ball cost them a TD and quite possibly the game. They may have scored anyway but that type of crap got the bears wins last year but now it just gets them losses. The defender, instead of pushing Peterson out around the 7, tried to grab the ball and yank it out. Peterson kept going as the momentum of the Bear defender sent him out of bounds and out of the play. When will they learn?

[Beantown Bronco]

IMO.....AP = Portis. Great for a few home runs, but gets stopped at the line or behind the line too much to keep drives going and keep your defense off the field.

I'd rather have LT. Proven to be a long-term producer and is extremely durable.

I don't know man, a lot of those open field cut backs and ankle breakers looked a lot like TD.

Portis and AD are nothing alike. Outside of the fact that Portis is fast, their style of play is not similar at all.

AD is an excellent cut-back runner. OU employs some pieces of the Denver offense.

Dang ... wish AD was the third Bronco on that list.

I watched him yesterday, and he is maybe the best combination of speed and brute force I've seen since Walter Payton. He doesn't weave like Barry Sanders or Gale Sayers did, but he appears to have their effortless broad field of vision ...

You have to put 9 in the box to stop Peterson short of a yard.

That just isnt going to happen too much in the NFL.

It's too funny to hear people take stabs at shortchanging this or that about Peterson. His only problem is playing TOO HARD on most plays and leaving himself succeptible to injury.

Everything else is gravy with this kid.

He's literally the most dynamic and powerful back to hit the scene in a long, long time.

This is why I thought he would be taken first in the draft, and I think that every team that passed him up will regret it.

There isnt a linebacker in the NFL who can take Peterson on one v. one. The only safety that could get a lick in would be Polamalu.

It happened to him SEVEN times yesterday. And two of those times were from the shotgun formation, with three or more wide receivers and less than "9 in the box."

he'll be hurt in three years...you can't run like that and expect to play 10 years...

it might have worked for Dickerson, but that was then...players are faster and bigger now...

Bob Sanders(safety) would be the perfect Peterson defender. No RB can have a clue as to what speed Sanders will shoot like a rocket out of no where and have them on the ground.
