I hate to say I told you so……but I did.

The Vikings were complete idiots to give an injury prone RB a massive contract. They should have traded him for multiple picks and come to their senses that this is a passing league. They are so far from sniffing a divisional title with Rodgers, Cutler and Stafford working against them. And it is pretty clear that Ponder was a mistake.

If the Vikes were smart, they would draft RG3 and hope that he is their savior. Hell….Ponder is getting thoroughly outplayed by JOE WEBB.

I almost feel bad for the Vikes…..with this sad state of affairs……almost. Actually….not really at all.

This is horrible news for the Vikings. AP is the majority of their offense. He is a hard worker and will return, but he will never be the same back he was early in his career. Why the Vikings were using him so much in meaningless games is beyond me.

With No AP next year will PFT debate all year if the Vikings will try to play barfly for Barkley?

Even when AP goes down with an ACL tear, he’s still a better RB than CJ2K.

As a Packers fan, I am sad to hear this, he is/was the best back in the league for some time now, hope he has a full recovery. To all the Idiot vikings fans that keep referring to him as AP, its AD, always has been always will be AD, as in ALL DAY. It never was AP.

This is why the Titans didn’t want to break the bank on Chris Johnson. It’s far too easy for running backs to have too short a career.

With the Vikings playing for nothing (not even Andrew Luck) if I were him and the team, I’d get any surgery done before the ball drops, if at all possible.

dtrb10… Come on dude, don’t wish this on another player. Don’t lower yourself to the ranks of SOME of the packer fans. And i do stress SOME! Not all packer fans wish this type of thing upon other players. But some do laugh about it.

I can’t believe some of you clowns are saying when he gets healthy trade him or some of u saying he will never be the same!! You are all WRONG, the man is a special human being & a great football player & with his mind set being what it is he will be back on top by next year!! He proved ALL you haters wrong coming out of college when you haters were saying he is injury prone & then came in & tore the NFL up!! This is his first serious injury & it will take some time to heal, but the dude is a speical person & will shut ALL you haters up again!!

AP is a class act unlike the Viking fans. Hopefully you can rehab and find yourself in LA

Watching the video it was obvious that the ACL was torn at a minimum. At this point this is almost good news to know the PCL and LCL are presumably intact. Guys can come back from ACL’s and MCL’s but rarely ever do they come back well from the triple ligament injury.

But either way this will hamper his abilities. Terrible season.

I’m starting to wonder if some of these packer fans here really know anything about football at all. gb4mn0 sounds like the most intelligent douche ever. As much as i don’t like your agenda, i could never bring myself to trash your team or qb the way you trash the vikings and AP, or wish injury on one of your best players. Your a true douche that probably doesn’t even know what position Aaron Rodgers plays. And i’m starting to wonder if you even know who he is.. But maybe for your sake, (so you have more fodder to trash the vikings) you should probably think about complaining about the helmet to helmet hits, and leading with the helmet now before some cheap shot player pulls a stunt like that on Rodgers, and he has another concussion. Because I, unlike you, would never want to see a rival teams best player go out from a possible career threatening injury. As much as i don’t like losing to the packers, i can give them props. They have one of the best GM’s in the league. And McCarthy, as smug as he can be at times (in my opinion, based off the way he handled favre and rodgers at the time, and the last two years he had to start his starters against our starters, which he could have beat us with their practice squad) He is one of the best coaches in the league, and his record backs it up.
Some of the Packer faithful are classy fans. But you gb4mn0, i wouldn’t piss in your mouth if you were dying of thirst.

With his work ethic and his physical ability he will be ready to go for 2012. He’s not Dante.

Mr. Peterson, you are the type of player people come to watch play. I wish you a speedy recovery..

I’ve always respected and enjoyed watching the guy. I hope he heals soon and plays in 2012.

No matter who your team is this sucks for the NFL in general. Peterson is one of the league’s most exciting players and also a solid guy you don’t worry about getting into trouble off the field. Hopefully he recovers and can keep entertaining us “all day.”

Hey frank…even if he recovers, I say shut him down for a couple more years, just to be safe.I’m sure he’d be ok with that. DUMB.

Hope he fully recovers and is out there next year
You want to play against the best
And he’s one of them

9 months to recover which will be plenty for him with his great work ethic. I dont think this will change the way he plays.

there was no way he was going to let them sit him out for the rest of the season. Yes nothing to gain by playing but this is a game he loves and his profession. If he hit 1000 yards he would of hit some of the escalators in his contract as well. 30 yards short.

ACLs are typically a 5-6 month rehab time injury, the MCL involvement complicates it a little. Very fortunate to hear (the rumor) that nothing else is involved!

Rumor also has it that AP wasn’t listed on the injury report this past week, which means he was deemed 100% healthy by the medical staff. Can’t really keep a player who is 100% healthy off the field. Ergo, can’t blame Frazier for playing him.

@frankgarret…. Are you really happy one of the all time greats that we were all lucky enough to get to see may be done playing just because it proves you right? Wow, pathetic ……..

This is really to bad. I am sure he won’t do it but I really hope AP stays out next year as well and comes back 100% for 2013. He’s only 26 and would only be arround 28 when he comes back and still mostly young because he would have a full season off. I just dont want to see happen to ap what happened caddy Williams. The guy came back to early and blew the knee out again, once again came back to quick and blew the other one out as well and is now just a shell of what he was.

I also hate to say this but it was a bad year for running backs. The whole idea of long term deals for running backs may be over now. With the injury to ap and the bad play of Chris Johnson and high production of a ton of cheAper younger players. I think the running backs in the nfl may start getting much shorter contracts.
