It's hard to believe it, and I really hope this is nothing major for him. Excellent competitor and excellent player.

2 terrible threads from the op today... I know its christmas but get your head out of your presents

Sad to say it... but the best rb crown has now been placed on the head of Mr. McCoy. Ya had a good run AP

I had Mccoy in both of my fantasy teams, but it's still Arian Foster. I do admit that LeSean Mccoy is becoming an elite RB. As a Giants' fan, I'm jealous.

I love Foster too... and though I think he is great, I think he is partially a product of that system.. Steve Slaton ran for 1200+ yards and since can barely find a team.. That tells me a lot

[dlunc3]

love ray rice too

[antifoil]

tebow is best running back because sometime they let him pass the ball too.

[beg154860]

AP tears his entire knee up and a play later Ponder gets concussed. Injuries are obviously just a part of the game, but sometimes football seems like such a pointless fukking sport when so many great athletes have their bodies destroyed. This could end him.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Gold, u clueless fuk.

Peterson easily one of the 3 most talented RB to enter league in L20 years.

Injury is too bad.

Speed, agility, vision, power...The guy is a great back...

[ijenpo]

Glad the Vikings didn't offer him some huge contract before the year began

Prior to the season, Peterson signed a seven-year, $100 million contract extension. The deal included $36 million guaranteed.

[QuantumLeap]

He'll just get some Tommy John surgery and he'll be back.

[Wrecktangle]

I hate to hear crap like this...

Case solved!

guaranteed.

JJ posts the opposite of the obvious answer to induce people to say he's an idiot thereby driving traffic. old routine surprisingly still effective.

ex: it is raining outside today
jj: nice bright sunny day today
people who respond: jj you smoking crack dont you see the rain???

I don't think he purposely does that to get a reaction out of people. I think his IQ is truly Under 70 - Definite feeble-mindedness ...

[thechaoz]

Gore baby!!!!! Sucks bad for Peterson though.

[MMAchicka]

It doesn't look good :-( well MN doesn't look good either this year.

hell be back

its a shame

[McBa1n]

Ugh, saw the injury. As much as I hate the Vikings, you never want to see that. The first guy I thought of when it happened was Edgerrian James, but realistically, Edge never really got it all going as good after his just ACL injury.
When MN selected Peterson, the first thing I thought of is that he was going to have a short career. He's a very high runner that is so violent/physical with his running, sooner or later, he's gonna get bopped on his knee. Al Harris got him his rookie year for a minor injury, but I'm really surprised it took this long.

MN is going to miss him a TON, I don't see how any back in the NFL today even compares to the guy. He's a freak of nature and was really putting himself into that conversation as one of the best of all time. Sad to see every year more and more RBs go down, but AP is different, he's one of the top players in the league. Hope he has a good recovery, but as far as 'AP being AP'? You can give him some long odds to return to form. It just doesn't happen.

NFL Backs are NOT MISSED

Remember when you would play Tecmo Superbowl and hand the ball off to someone like Craig Heyward up the middle and defenders would just bounce off of him? He'd run it for 40 yards and eat up about half the quarter in doing so? That's what its like watching Toby Gerhart run.

[d2bets]

I guess this is why it's not a good idea to give 7 year 100 million contracts to running backs.

One of your sharper posts. You build NFL teams these days around QB's not RB's.

[LT Profits]

Peterson is the best running back in the NFL by a mile and its not even close.

Guaranteed he's back next year and just as good as he is every year.

Nope 2013 at the earliest and he will more than likely never be the same.

[paranoyd androyd]

he's done its official now very unlucky

[DwightShrute]

I will be surprised if he plays again. Very sad news

[gimpy]

There was no reason for him to play against the skins. He'll recover, but won't be the same ever again. What a terrible way to go out.

[Duke Fan]

Hello Trent Richardson. Take a seat Toby!

[gimpy]

It's hard to believe it, and I really hope this is nothing major for him. Excellent competitor and excellent player.

Both of my knees were blown out. I've had surgery but I've never had complete confidence in my legs since. While l can't say that the Vikings medical staff won't help him during his rehabilitation, I will add that his condlfidence will definitely come into question should he decide to return to football.

Also, Bo Jackson required a hip replacement, which is entirely different than a knee injury.

[Serbone]

We need big changes in the NFL.
It is a joke.
1/2 the games, who wants to watch?
How many starting QB's are out? (Manning, Cassel, Cutler, Campbell, Schaub, Henne, Vick 50%, Bradford 50%, McCoy, Big Ben...)
Star RB's? WR's?
Overall, how many teams have 8-9 starters (of 22) out each game?
Plenty!
How many are on IR for the yr now compared to 10 ys ago? 20 yrs ago? 30 yrs ago?
And dont blame it on the lockout, guys are in shape now and they are carting them off the field every game, week 16!
They are too big and strong and fast, pretty much are mutants, out there killing each other.
PED's aside, they would still gorge on creatine and pump weights, bench press 450, etc.
This will go the way of boxing, soon.
Did you see the special on Earl Campbell? He's about 57, played 25+ yrs ago, the poor guy is a wreck, and linemen weighed about 40 lbs less back then, and weight lifting techniques had not maximized to today's high tech approach.
There are all kinds of punchy, crippled players walking around that played 25-45 yrs ago and are in their mid-late 50's & 60's, their lives are in ruins, early dementia, artificial hips, knees, etc, a lot of things do not work anymore.
These days, concussions galore, poor Austin Collie... what a warrior... will be playing checkers in the park with 80 yr olds in 10 years. And losing.
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS: WEIGHT LIMITS.
AND BAN ARTIFICIAL TURF! DOMED STADIUMS, TOO, BRING IT IN FROM THE OUTSIDE FOR EACH GAME, PAY THE MONEY.
Lineman 270, LB's 220, something like that... weigh ins each Weds, or they sit, each player gets 2 lb mulligan 3 times a year. Maybe some kind of average with a line on the field. Plenty of rules but it is in the interest of the game.
To boot, who TF will let their kids play high school FB? 300 lb linemen there already, all over the place.
WEIGHT LIMITS. You heard it hear first.
Save time, ask SerbOne.
