[QUOTE="DLateral"]Lol at Adrian Peterson being 4 he is at least #2 if not #1 he is in a whole another leage above Westbrook and Jackson...wallymartin
Adrian Peterson is...
Injury Prone: Practically his entire college career was plagued by injury, and he did get banged up as a rookie. Until he proves otherwise, you cannot trust him to stay healthy.
In his second year. He's played one season. He's got a possible sophomore slump to deal with and has to prove that season 1 wasn't a fluke(not saying it was, but it's possible).
Inconsistant. He went over 100 yards 6 times in 2007, but had 70 or fewer yards 7 times, including 4 times where he went for under 50 yards and a monstrous 3 yard effort against the 49ers.
------------
Bottom line: Peterson has enough physical talent for me rank him 4th, but too many questions to be any higher.
Lol Sophore Slumps arent real, and oh yea do Jackson and Westbrook have the single game rushing record? No? Yea I believe Mr. Peterson does.. he has the power to plow over defenses and the speed to outrun pretty much any defender in the league can Westbrook do that can Jackson do that? No Westbrook is too small and Jackson is injury prone also and cannot outrun alot of DB's and so what if he had a few bad games some teams outlined their whole defensive strategy on stopping him and he still had some huge games on teams who were bent on stopping him and next year he will be less injury prone and he will be even bigger then he was before and he also impacts his team more then anyone in the league does, the Vikings have some slack Division 2 QB who cant hit the broadside of a barn while both the Eagles and Rams at least have decent QB's (Bulger and McNabb) and why is Jackson even in the top 5 he barely got 1000 yards rushing last year? And Westbrook got almost 370 touches last year and if Peterson had gotten even near that many touches do you realize how many all purpose yards he would have had? For the games he was healthy Peterson carried that offense and next year he will have even more of an impact and play in more games the last year and as for him being better then Tomlinson I'd like to think so as Tomlinson got injured last year also and it could be dabatable that Peterson is more athleticaly gifted (Power and Speedwise) then Tomlinson and dont forget that the Chargers have way more offensive weapons outside of Tomlinson as the Vikiings and Peterson was still as dominant as Tomlinson was on days when he was doing average and I am sorry this post is so unbearably long just trying to get my opinion out:)
