Adrian Peterson is the BEST NFL player I've ever seen.

[yseJ]

Mike Vick that season was damn near unstoppable, the guy was shredding defenses in the air and ground. On top of that he had very memorable games.

Lead 59 points on Washington (42 of which were involving him directly).
Lead the comback vs the Giants.
Destroyed defenses from in and out the pocket.
Finished with a 100.2 QB rating for the season (21 TD's 6 INT's)
Running all on defenses in Mike Vick fashion to get 9 TD's.
Etc.

It got to the point little rich kids were sporting Vick jerseys their parents bought them.

Dude was a movement.

I thought we were talking about the run game...and ADs >>> Mike's

Only mentioned Mike Vick since people were throwing around Calvin Johnson, Deion, Randy Moss, etc.

I meant as far as a player, Vick's impact that season slightly > anyhing I've seen from AD. Which is really tough (and maybe impossible) to say because that team has been on AD's back since he was drafted.

Fumble all day the goat he a beast but nah


Plus the rb position is not that improtant anymore and can easily be schemed agianst in the playoffs

has 4 fumbles in his last 37 games

come again ?

 

[Ohene]

He is my man crush

fukk Reggie Bush, AP is that nikka man. He just looks like hed be the coolest guy ever too.

 

[Ashyneezz]

Emmitt is not even top 5, possibly not top 10.

Not even top 10

barry sanders is the michael jordan of rb's breh. i feel sorry for your loss

man this is who I remember growing up in the 90's. as a fan of the bears, I remember him routinely shytting on our entire defense. dude is the only RB I remember who could run backwards and still turn shyt plays into long gains. it was amazing.

 

[L&HH]

Not even top 10

straddles around the 9-12 area. Fringe top 10 would probably be a better phrasing.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Fran is the one guy I can never accuse of having ageism.

You and @jadillac are very biased when it comes to AP of course.....











































but AP is that nikka. Carry on.

 

[Smokin Rider]

Nah....its not even close...as a runner anyway.

The fukk is this guy talking about? Mcfadden's career got derailed by injuries but last year and the year before he was looking like the top RB and he's the only RB to run for 174 all over a Rex Ryan defense

Peterson is better but come on, WAY better? fukk outta here

As far as him being the greatest, HELL NO! LT is still has a way better career at the moment and I hate that coward LT

He's still not the up the gut, tough runner AD is.

 

[Smokin Rider]

He's still not the up the gut, tough runner AD is.

No he is not but to say it's not close is blasphemy. Mcfadden is a much better blocker, reciever and I would say he is just as ferocious but less vision.

It's a shame, McFadden I don't think will bounce back becuase he's more injury prone and AD has the gene's of a god but DMC played behind way worse O-lines, it's not even close there.

I know if DMC started on the Vikings and AD was on the Raiders their careers would look totally different

 

[Joe Sixpack]

A lot nikkas in here don't know shyt about RBs.

Smoking Rider for one obviously doesn't know shyt about football.

No doubt, DMC is a better receiver. Not as ferocious or better runner though.

AD could run behind the Raiders like. He just needs linemen to get in the way....his RB iq will do the rest.

Nah, AD woulda changed the complexion of the Raiders franchise itself. He's that special a player. McFadden is great in his own right but he ain't Peterson.

As Viking fans we have been blessed to see two of the greatest players at their positions



Randy Moss is the reason why I started watching football I always used to be a bball head but one rainy afternoon they had the football game on and it was the Vikings vs the Packers and I watched Randy do things on the field I did not think was possible and I have been a viking fan ever since

Now on to AP aka Purple Jesus aka All Day

You guys need to understand something disregard the injury because that is nothing short of a miracle but do all realize that this dude is LEADING THE LEAGUE in rushing after 2 knee surgeries?Do you know how fukking ridiculous that is?

Lets not act like he plays behind some fantastic line or with a great quarterback hell he had a good quarterback for one year and you see what happened Favre had the greatest season of his career and th eVikes made it to the "Bounty Bowl" where they were cheatedout of their championship.

For most of Purple Jesus career he has played with shyt quarterbacks(Gus Ferotte,Tavaris Jackson,Brad Johnson,Joe Webb) and he STILL wrecked nyggas

Thats why I have no problem saying he is already the best back of his generation(Ladanian is nice but imagine Purple Jesus with a prime Philip Rivers,Antonio Gates and that charger defense in that weak ass afc west conference if you dont think they would have won at least 2 championships you dont know shyt about football)when everything is all said and done AP will go down as the greatest back of all time


The best part about Purple Jesus right now is this nygga is leading the league and HE AINT EVEN 100% YET!!!!!!

Imagine if the AZ Cardinals would've drafted AD in '07.



They would've had Warner, Fitzgerald, and a prime Anquan Boldin...with AD coming out the backfield


They would've beat the Steelers if they had AD in the Superbowl
