What Larry Johnson did in that season was more impressive than what Adrian Peterson has done this season IMO.

You are absolutely 100% correct, but the hypebeast fans and media are so quick to proclaim AD "the Best RB in the game today"
or better even a "sure fire future hall of famer"
AD had 2 out of this world games and the rest, we haveall seen before from alot of RBs to pass thru this league.
PS. LJs 2006 yr was more sicker.

LJ's third year in the L compared to AD's rookie season? Ok...
I'm not one to hype AD as the best back in football or a sure fire HOFer, but what AD is doing as a rookie in an offense with far and away the league'sworst QB and group of receivers is extremely impressive.

Is AD the best complete back in the game? no. But i do think he is the best pure runner in the league and i dont think its that close. with that being said.LJ's 2005 was ******ed. Looking back on portis's 02 i think the system had alot to do with it. So i think it goes like this LJ's05>>>AD's07> Portis's 02
Edit: Gunna do you really think that if AD stays healthy he isnt a sure fire hall of famer? and i understand its a big if.

Co-sgin. i remember one game in his 2nd or 3rd season when he put up 260 and 5 TDs aganst KC. him behind Denvers line was just amazing
on top of that, I don't think he got his first carries as the full-time starting RB until week 4 or 5....
AD is nice, but a lot of people went WAY overboard in anointing him the GOAT before week 6....until Minnesota gets a QB, he will consistently see 8 in the boxfrom here on out....

u think AD is the only RB to ever have to face 8 & 9 men consistantly in the box? that subject only fits when you want it to,
most RBs face 8 man fronts (minus the Patriots, Packers, Cowbouys and Colts) thats how they break most of their long runs. as a RB u r coached to make thatextra man miss, U are to account for him because one on one an extra DB shouldnt bring u down every play. and thats exactly what AD did in the game he brokethe record.
8 men lined up within 5 yards of the LOS = alotta big run opportunities

If you saw LJ's offensive line the last couple of years you will understand how amazing his numbers have been the last couple of years. Not to mention thefact he has zero help from anyone not named Tony G.

Can someone please explain to me why he is referred to as AD rather than AP? Am I the only one who wonders this? Or am I missing something here. I know ADrianbut we dont call Larry Johnson LA.
