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."

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
