Adrian Peterson is NOT better than Deangelo or J-Stew

He may have more natural talent than both of them, but he is not better! Both Panthers backs run harder and have to split carries between two of the best backs in the league. I'm tired of the media riding his jock.

By the way: My first thread ever.

williams was the best playing RB in 08 no doubt. And peterson has a severe problem with fumbles that he really needs to get control of. But AP is better than both, he's more talented and produces more. I bet williams or stewart could put up his numbers but we won't know that unless they split up.

Don't you think they fact that stewart and williams run so hard might have to do with the fact that they split carries? You talk about splitting carries like it's a disadvantage. Yeah it lowers their numbers but they are also much fresher. Peterson gets around 75% of the carries and deserves credit for that.

Good players become media darlings, happens all the time. I don't know why your so upset. John Gruden has a mancrush on D-will, he never shuts up about him. It's what happens when you play well.

haha John Gruden was a coach in the NFC south and the Panthers running game blew up Tampa on Monday night football last year, its not surprising that he likes D-will. Dont try to act like Adrian Peterson gets so much more credit than he deserves.

Credit for what? the fact that he gets more carries and doesn't produce on the same level as them?

The only RB that is truly on a different level above DWill/Gore/MJD/etc is Chris Johnson.

The way I see it, it's like:

1) Chris Johnson

2a) DWill

2b)AD

2c)MJD

2d etc etc etc etc

I would personally rather have DWill and J-Stewart as a tandem than any other back in the league.

He is hitting his holes too hard...No patience in his runs..

this year he is reminding me of exactly why Cedric Benson flopped in Chicago. When in Chicago, there was no one in the league that hit and attacked a defense as hard as Benson did evey snap....he would hit defenses hard and violently......but he had no patience for letting blocks develop or vision....and did relatively nothing.

This is kind of a moot argument anyway... you can compare them all you want and everyone has an opinion, but the way I look at it is look at the number of high quality backs in the NFL right now. Excellent football going on. There used to be only a few stars, now there are 7 or 8 guys that you can throw in this discussion of "best RB playing."

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
