i mean no disrespect for the young “shutdown corner” but arent you the same #21 that was with the cardinals that got “TRUCKED” by #28 in purple not once – not twice but three times in the very first quarter sunday october 9th 2011 … i am a big LSU fan and i am sure that was you young mr peterson … i was really sure it was you when adrian carried you for seven yards into the endzone on the 3rd td … “shutdown corners” also gotta tackle … have no doubt young mr patrick peterson will be an amazing nfl player for a long time and i am a fan of his for a long time … i wish him nothing but good luck in his career … http://youtu.be/k7UTYUd31g0 … “shutdown corner” maybe not yet! … respectfully submitted and gramatically challenged … MGR4FUN

That team only scored 3 more points that entire game. Besides that horrible 1st quarter where your average field position was on our 15, we shut you down. Your scored 28 points on the easiest field position ever given to an opponent. If was just 4 field goals it would have been a different game, but you got lucky on field position. After that 3 quarters and just 3 points. LOOK IT UP

He had a short off season and a new defensive scheme so he wasnt really allowed any room for error because no one else would be there to help. Our defense got better as the year progressed and if he knows he needs to improve, as well as his teammates, this defense and special teams could rival the leagues best right now. Just sayin, our defense was in the top 10 and top 5 categories the last half of last season, I know it sounds odd but it actually happens to be true.

You guys are bashing Peterson for his performance as ROOKIE. He had a great first year with some bumps in the road, but he’s quickly improving.

I don’t think rite now but this guy has the speed, size, and athleticism to be a shut down corner.. I think maybe not this year but next year he’ll start opening some eyes on defense

Well, he’s certainly not a tackler. His jock is still in the Metrodome turf where Adrian Peterson planted it.

Much respect to Patrick Peterson for acknowledging his downfalls. Most young athletes have a sense of entitlement that would disallow such growth as a player, and man. Imagine if Devin Heater had this train of thought! Good luck young man!

Don’t these jabs at Peterson seem a little much right now? He had a great rookie year as far as special teams, but that’s not enough. He is literally acknowledging that fact in these quotes, yet people are still taking shots at him? He has an objective and accurate view of his personal performance, which can be rare coming from football players.

I think some of you guys looked at the misleading title first and didn’t read his actual quotes.

He has his head in the right place and hopefully, for the Cardinals, the work he’s putting in pays off.

Shutdown corners get paid. Highlight reel punt returners, not so much…

Maybe he doesn’t know what “shutdown” means.

yeah Steve Smith had a torched him and the giants squeezed by on a ragged call. he did well against some other good receivers. those two mentioned know all the tricks, pat peterson was new and fresh, he will be elite this year. lets see what tom brady does against him this year. steelers suck.

As a Ram’s fan I can say painfully he is one heck of a punt returner

He’s definitely a great special teams guy, but that’s not why the Cardinals spent a high 1st on him- good to know he has that clear in his mind!
