Will Adrian Peterson break Eric Dickerson 2,105 rushing record

[Goat Milk]

I'll take Faulk in 99. Capped it off w/ a ring too

Faulk '99: 1381 yards, 5.5 ypc, 7 tds, 87 catches, 1048 yards, 5 tds.

Tomlinson 2006: 1815 yards, 5.2 ypc, 28 tds, 56 catches, 508 yards, 3 tds, 2 passing tds.


not even close imo. faulk always had the better football team around him

[Goat Milk]

Goat Milk you think your opinion matters so much around here and people care what you say but they don't....people see you as a guy who's posted more losers than anyone through-out the last 2.5 years.....sure you may know a "little" about the NBA but the only thing you're really qualified to speak on around here is which jock-strap fits Lebron the best...oh that and how to stack 3,894,342 hours of NBA film in a closet....

God Bless.

you're a ghost.

thanks.

[GamblerSpirit]

Kkoz no way is emmith smith the best..and goaty, i think most ppl will agree that AD is better than ladainian tomlinson.

If you're playing fantasy football you take LT, if you want to win a championship you take Faulk. He was the leader of that team

Tomlinson had 31 touchdowns in a season. Let me know when Peterson gets that. Peterson certainly has the potential to be better, but if he retired today, he wouldn't be. LT is a guaranteed first ballot hall of famer

[smitch124]

Top 5 running backs all time

1. Jim Brown
2. Barry Sanders
3. Marshall Faulk
4. Dickerson
5. Terrell Davis

Wow a top 5 without Walter Payton?

Brown and Payton are 1a and 1b then discuss from there.

One season with 31, after that next highest was 20

[frostno98]

it's all about the O Lines...even the backs themselves will admit that and T Davis and E Smith had two of the best Lines of all time throughout their glory years.

Emmit Smith had a line that would open the Red Sea for him. Terrell Davis and the Broncos O-Line both complimented each other. Davis still hold the record that probably never be Broken for having 7 consecutive 100 yards rushing games in the playoffs.

yeah and so many guys in the nfl today score 20 tds in a season. get lost.

[KKoz9]

KKOZer!!!!! He's possibly the best ever, ADMIT IT!!!!


By the way, shots on me next time pal!

He could be some day! Definitely has the talent...plus he's from here in Texas!

Looking forward to many more shots at the bash next summer my friend!

[Br0nxer]

Beast mode

[KKoz9]

not just my opinion. emmitt is not top 3.

Not your opinion, OK what is based on?


My point is not that Emmitt maybe had the best skill necessarily, but that all this debating about anything other than stats is purely
bullshit opinion (a subjective position - based upon subjective feelings or intuition, not upon observation or reasoning, which can be influenced by preconception)...one is no more important than the other, whether someone says, Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, Terrell Davis (really!? ) or DUCE STALEY, THERE'S NOTHING TO SUBTANTIATE IT.


You know the saying about opinions right?

Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one! (or is it Every a$$hole has an opinion! yeah, that's more like it)


"Well, a lot of players could've made that many yards with Dallas' line"

'Could've' DON'T MEAN SHIT!! Emmitt did it.


By stats, which are the only objective standard (meaning having due regard for the known evidence), Emmitt's the best ever...period.

So put your opinions in one hand and a pile of shit in the other and see which get you farther.

[Frisco]

It's all subjective when analyzing different running backs, on diff teams, and sometimes playing in different decades. Still think Barry Sanders is a better back than Emmit and would have put up #'s on that team that would never be touched

[p19101]

Dickerson never got the respect he deserved, easily to #3 to me.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

plus he's from here in Texas!

i hate discussing sports with texas homers.

i'd rather have a debate with a rock.

[detroitlionsfan]

yes ....

[MexicanStallion]

Very doubtful. Don't see him breaking the record. He has had a great season though.

[wantitall4moi]

he wont get 2000. hell he might not break 1800.

Can't handle using facts in a conversation...I understand

[ramones951]

[wantitall4moi]

1446 at 12, extrapolated out thats 1807.5. I still say he doesnt make 1800.

Actually it's 1928. But either way, what he's doing is remarkable

dude I'm like that guy from the song and the lights. But if lights dont work here I dont dick around I just go buy more. I am pretty cheap but when it comes to that I just dont mess around. I donate them or give them to people and tell them theyre a year old or whatever but one light is out somewhere so the whole string wont work.

[frostno98]

If AP breaks the record and the Vikings get in the playoffs, he should get in MVP. I think AP a lock for come back player of the year now.

[Speedy88]

AP should win MVP no matter what if he breaks the rushing record. Even if he comes up short, I think they should give it to him. What he is doing this year is unique. Peyton and Brady are having great seasons, but we see great QB's all the time.

I say anything over 2k and it should be his considering he's playing on a team w/ a below avg QB and no WR's.

Below average - You are giving Ponder too much credit

[msutter]

After today I think he gets there.
