He rushed for 79 yards total not 129 and 40 of that was on the first drive, after that 39 yards the rest of the day. That looked pretty good huh?

——————————————————

129 yards = 79 rushing and 50 receiving…so yeah it was just fine.

Once he got the big contract Peterson gets injured twice in the last 8 games. He is an over the hill back breaking down with declining production.

A waste of a career on a team that hasn’t won consecutive playoff games in over 25 years.
A shame that potential was wasted on the vikings.

Absolutely no shot at the HOF with his numbers without a ring. He doesn’t even have Herchel Walker numbers.

—————————

Even if all of that is true, at least we got one contract out of him unlike “Crisco” Raji who didn’t want to come to Green Bay in the first place nor has he ever been able to stay on the field….

Actually, he was on the field for the Packers most recent Super Bowl win.

Good for him…

So was Ben Roethlisberger…

Were any of the current Vikings on the teal during their last Super Bowl victory?

______

In his first six seasons, Walker had 5,652 yards rushing and one 1,000-yard season. He had 57 total touchdowns. AD in his first 5+ seasons has 7,251 yards rushing and 69 total touchdowns. He’s still going strong and he plays for a team on the rise. Now go back to hoping Alex Greene can break a 5-yard run.

Bobnelsonjr

Waste? When healthy he has been the most consistently feared running back in the league since Barry sanders.

True, he is getting hurt more. But he has already left his mark on the game because of his style of running. That’s the nature of the career of a running back: careers are short, but their impact is measured by their unique skill. Peterson has the unique wow factor few running backs have ever had.

Do you just sit around and think if ways to hate on anything Minnesota? Herschel walker? Are you kidding me?

I can’t believe no one other than Deangelo Hall has called him out for a COMPLETE LIE. Watch the tape, Hall never slaps him. Peterson wears the color of sour grapes and Divas

@schmitty2

I agree with you, I think Min. missed Peterson a lot last week. They need him for thier best chance to win.

If he makes it worse though, he may miss more than one game. They got a tough schedule after thier bye and they are going to need him around if they are making the playoffs.

The guy’s a terror. The Vikes should give him 35-40 carries the next three weeks. Let him rest up against Detroit ; )

I’d like to see a few more carries from Gerhart so we can rest AD a little more. He shouldn’t need to take all the carries to beat Arizona and Tampa Bay.

In this league you take nothing for granted-the Cards won in New England with no one gave them a chance. The point being-if your best player can play then he plays!

I’d like to see more carries for Gerhart too, but without the fumbles.
