Interesting Running Back Stat

Running backs who rush for more than 370 carries in a season will either have a significant decline or get hurt the following season. Only one running back, Eric Dickerson, has been able to beat the curse.

*In 2008 Peterson ran the ball 363 times.

Thoughts?

Thoughts? WTF does this have to do with the Packers?

But since your brain cell deficient self asked. Dickerson was special and sadly so is peterson.

My thought is don't take Turner #1 overall. He's gonna regress this year.

Oh, such strong words. I better run and hide at the sportsbubbler for a few months like you did.

You experts already said Favre is gonna throw 5 picks each game so it doesnt matter if peterson runs for 500yds each game.

I really wish you wouldn't pimp other sites. Joe paid good money for this place.

The article is a bit limited in it's analysis. Runners who rush 370 times are most likely good backs having a good season. The following season, the opponents are more likely to do what they can to stop the 1 guy for the other team and so production dips and attempts go down. Other cases were injury situations, which workload could be part of the equation, but it could be just a case where there is a chance of injury on any give attempt, and the more attempts, the more chances of getting hurt regardless of previous workload.

In AP's case, he just needs to stay healthy and hope that Favre presence will cause more 7-man fronts than 8-man fronts. That will help his production. The 363 attempts from last year is unlikely to mean much this season.

Really this is vikings board talk: But peterson is youthful, and can still handle loads like that. Peterson is just that special sort of player.

I think the vikings hope is that load can be lessened now with a decent QB.

Lighten up Madtown. Everybody is happy to have you back, and I think we should all bust your balls to make you feel welcome.

Alright then, fine. No. I am very naughty.

Happy now? Lets talk football.

Well, he came up 7 carries short. So he'll be healthy, I guess.
