Adrain Peterson - continues to go nuts

[Patler]

I'm sort of surprised we haven't heard more about AP for MVP. His injury recovery is irrelevant to that award, in my opinion. MVP should be a measure of his overall importance to his team's success. That's why QB's win it so often.

The Vikings without AP literally have no offense. He should receive strong consideration for MVP, as should Brady, Rodgers and a few others.

[Patler]

AP is just padding his stats like AR.

Since AP has come right out and said he wants the season rushing record, I guess that makes him nothing more than a "stats whore" as discussed in a thread about Rodgers, doesn't it?

The entire Vikings season is going down Adrain

of course! As someone who has botched a thread title, and been unable to fix it, I empathize!

Yards equal production and field position. Yardage and field position are the next best victory indicators after turnovers,

There are over a dozen more productive players in the league than some tailback in Minnesota.

Running backs are low paid in this free market era because they do not produce that many yards.

Obviously Randall Cobb is more productive and more valuable than some purple slimer.

This is the NFL, not the NCAA where teams like Wisconsin can win games by running the ball 100 times a game with godawful qbs like Brooks Bollinger at the helm.

Hey, hey, HEY!

You be careful trashing the toughest option QB under 6 foot ever!

Troll away, but leave Brooks out of it.

That Ohio State comeback win was a piece of genius. Still gives me the warm fuzzies.

He's Purple Jesus.

That would be Christmas.

[RashanGary]

Purple Jesus is just as bad as AR day

Fans are fans, whatever color they wear.

I'm from the UP. We had the Monday off school on the opening weekend of deer season. It's part of the culture. The Packers are a huge part of GB culture. Holmgren way, Lombardi Avenue, Brett Favre Pass. . . . . And now an Aaron Rodgers day.

The most storied franchise in the NFL in the only small town left gives GB something to be proud of. The way the people kept the franchise alive is something we hold dear in these parts. You can't take it too seriously. It's not AR's fault. GB loves it's Packers.

Why would WI have a day to honor a Viking? Minnesota can do that if they are so inclined. Besides, WI seems to reserve that for the great Packer QBs:

Bart Starr Day - 10/18/70 (declared by the Packers, I think)
Brett Favre Day - 5/17/2009 (declared by Jim Doyle)
Aaron Rodgers day - 12/12/12 (declared by joint resolution of the WI legislature)

That will do pig, that'll do.

Randall Cobb:

964 KOR yards
892 Receiving yards
253 PR yards
132 Rushing yards

2241 total yards 8 TD's.

So why is ESPN lobbying for some purple slimer for MVP?

The purple slimer has 1812 yards rushing and 211 yards receiving.
That's only 2023 yards; 10% less than Cobb.

Aaron Rodgers leads the league in QB rating and currently 2nd in TD passes with 32. He has 3588 passing yards and 248 rushing for 3836 total yards. He has 90% more yards than that purple slimer.

Why would ESPN lobby for some unproductive purple slimer nobody who can't get his team above an 8 win .500 season?

Ever try 'opening your mind'?
