Grant and Peterson Compared

[HarveyWallbangers]

I knew that about Herrera, but type the wrong name. Must be because both of their names start with an "H".


From what I've seen, he's okay. He's been there a few years.

You seriously crack me up. Go back and read this thread once. You obviously completely misundersood it. I'd say you might learn something from the many great contributions to it, but I've unfortunately come to know better.

Never once did I or anyone else suggest that Grant is "light years" better or more talented than Peterson, as you have with Cutler and Rodgers. In fact, I said Adrian Peterson could become the greatest back of all-time. He's that talented. That's obvious to everyone, and has been since he's played in high school.

IMO, you are the poster child for overrating the obvious (physical "talent") when there are so many additional more subtle and complex personal characteristics and team dynamics - the combination of which completely overshadow individual talent in their contribution to production and winning.

[Tarlam!]

Vince, that's kinda harsh. I find difficulty faulting any of your arguments, though.

Partial, take it from a friend, take some long deep breaths before picking these types of fights. You've provided enough evidence over the years to convincingly lose evry one of 'em. I say that with all due respect.

[vince]

Yeah OK Tar. I just think it's appropriate to interact with people using the same standards that they use for themselves.

[Tarlam!]

And you're absolutely right to do so, IMHO, Vince. I wasn't critizing in any way, just observing. Partial has that tone coming if he chooses to use that tone on others. I just wish he'd learn it, at last. Most definately, the hypocracy is what stands out to me most. He's actually not a bad kid, once you get to know him. Pretty passionate.

There's an old German saying "As you cry into the forest, the cry will come back to you". Doesn't say anything, Partial, you'll note, about having a different opinion.

Peterson is by FAR better then Grant. Peterson is the best back in the league. Any GM in the league would take Peterson over their current starter. Could you say the same about Grant. Ummm...no. I like Grant, I do. But come on, Peterson is a special talent. As much as that pains me to say.

[vince]

Nobody, at least in this thread, said he isn't. Bad thread title I guess.

hehe

Turnabout is fair play. I know I have been very high on Grant since the 07 season, and he hasn't lived up to lofty expectations.

[RashanGary]

I think Grant is going to have a monster year. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1500 yards out of Grant and a 4.4 YPC average.

I didn't read the thread. I was looking for an old thread about trading for Peterson and came across some good thread titles. Bumped three up as they were comical.

What's comical about this thread or its title?

The very thought of Grant, a pedestrian player, to an all-time special talent like AD.

[Zool]

Peterson is much better than Grant, but Grant is solid. Peterson is to Eric Dickerson what Grant is to Dorsey Levens. I was one of the first on the Grant bandwagon.

This is actually about right. I wouldn't call Grant pedestrian as Partial does. But then I guess there's 3-4 elite guys at each position in the NFL and then everyone else is average right?

He's an above average back when healthy and motivated but he ain't no effing Peterson.
