Best of luck to him. AP could play for my team any day.

[X-Terminator]

He'll probably get it next week. He's been that damn good.

I think about Adrian Peterson and the amazing things he is doing, less than a year after an ACL tear, the hard work, the dedication he puts into every game week in week out, the yards he puts up with an average QB, and I cry. I cry because if the Steelers had 2% the heart and dedication that Adrian Peterson has, they would be 12-2

It's gonna be tough...he's got the Texans and Packers remaining...

It's gonna be tough...he's got the Titans and Packers remaining...

Texans not titans

[ALLD]

AP is the best RB in the NFL right now. I say he gets in the second half of the last game.

Texans not titans

Whoops...typo...lol.

I'm rooting for AD. Its something special to see a guy run the ball the way he does in this day and age of the NFL.

[Shoes]

He'll probably get it next week. He's been that damn good.

....and I hope he does it. Amazing after coming off an ACL surgery....the kid is a hard worker and deserves it.

I hope he breaks Dickerson's record. I always thought Dickerson was a prima donna. I was disappointed when Terrell Davis and Barry Sanders both fell a little short of it back in the late '90s.

So, who here thinks that Adrian Peterson used HGH to heal that ACL?


I do, and to be honest, I really don't care if he did. If HGH can bring our star players back sooner, then I'm all for it. After all, its their bodies.

I don't and I'll explain why. For a normal person to recover from a torn acl, it takes ten to twelve months. For an athlete of his caliber, it takes eight to nine months. He healed right on schedule.

What you weren't disappointed when the Coke Dealer fell short? LOL I agree Dickerson has always seemed Prima Donna

[st33lersguy]

I hope he gets the record, he deserves it, he is a true proffessional

In the last eight games, Peterson has rushed for 1,313 yards, a stunning yardage total that no NFL player has ever matched over an eight-game stretch of a season.
