Yea I think A-Rod should just win everything …. Talk about poor sports haha …anyone with a shred of honesty knows AP worked his tail off to be where he is up to week 7 and that’s definitely more the Rodgers did in that 10mth span

We’ll see what he can do tomorrow against the top rated run defense in the NFL.

3.1 yards per carry allowed.

Cam Newton, RG3, Jamaal Charles, DeMarco Murray, Alfred Morris…AP?
—————————

Settle down now, Tonto…..

Demarco Murray? The stud of the #24 Dallas rushing attack? Seattle and Chicago did the same thing to him.

Alfred Morris gained 5.4/carry on his way to 113 yds against the Bucs. You might not want to draw attention to that one…. And there were 2 rushing TDs allowed in that loss.

Don’t forget that Andre Brown picked up 5.5/carry against your Bucs. he scored in that Bucs loss, too.

Speaking of TDs, do you know how many teams have given up fewer rushing TDs than the Bucs? I do. 14. and 6 more share that #15 rank with the Bucs.

And are you seriously bragging about shutting down the running of QBs? Yeah….next you’ll be touting your offensive line for not allowing CBs to get sacks.

When the Bucs average 3.1/carry and less than 9 TDs/yr over 3 SEASONS like the Vikes did from ’06-’08, then you can come brag to us. Until then, take it elsewhere.

Undeserved. A-Rod should have won it. Adrian Peterson is overrated.

Rodgers did that against a terrible defense, Peterson did that against a top 5 defense. Great game by both though.

———————

Your right, the Rams are terrible on D. They were 4th in points and 10th in yards heading into the game against Rodgers.

If you’re going to talk smack, at least have a clue what your talking about

Idiot

Having seen Rodgers first hand, i am stunned he didn’t win it.

Hey, Vikings fans, if I were you, I would seriously worry after the Cardinals game. You will run into some teams that can stop your RB, and then all you will have left is your QB. He didn’t look like an offensive machine to anybody.

Now he won’t score for another 7 or 8 weeks.

If that’s the case then don’t let anyone ever say you don’t have anything in common with Adrian Peterson.

Good job Adrian!!

In 2007 vs. #7 ranked rush defense, he put up 296 and 3td’s. He seems to shine vs. stingy rush defenses.

They’re both great players, and not many people will remember who won in a couple of weeks anyway, so…

As a Packer fan, I will tell you we are ok with AP getting the PoW award. Great game by him.

Rodgers did that against the 10th ranked team in total defense so what you said doesnt carry any weight

“Warrior in every sense of the word”

I don’t think that word means what you think it does.

I agree with you, though…AD looks as good as ever.

They’ll continue to need super human performances to offset the horrific play of their QB.

Not a Vikings or Packers fan but there isn’t a question in my mind. QB’s wear skirts and RB’s carry a lunch bucket to work. That’s why baseball has the Cy Young for pitchers and MVP for players, there should be a distinction like this in football too.

The voters are more than likely taking into account AP just came off of ACL repair 10 months ago. He is proving doubters wrong he is just as good as before. If Adrian doesn’t win comeback player of the year no one deserves it.

Keep on trucking, AP!

Now watch CJ2k go for 29 yards on 17 carries against a real defense this weekend….Bills don’t count!!!

Top 5 defense…as Buffalo ran for 165 yards the week before against AZ defense…

There will always be 4-5 top players each week. One has to win. This week, its AP. I hardly doubt these guys go around bragging about “player of the week” awards.

Good for your Adrian!

Also, its Week 8. It would be nice if the in-game commentators stopped making a big issue out of Adrians knee. He should have hushed already during Week 1.

The guy from The Cure used to be a RB for the Vikings? cool! he looks kinda sissy.
