OT Peterson breaks the rushing record

[NickZepp]

How 6 teams passed on this guy is amazing. And people we're drooling over Calvin Johnson? A guy who touches the ball 6-8 times a game vs. a guy who touches the ball 25-35 times a game? Anyone who saw him play a down in college knew he was special. It's the 2nd most important position on the team, and the Arizona Cardinals reached for a right tackle over him? Incredible. I guess that's what makes them the Cardinals.


Marshawn Lynch is having a very good rookie year too, but he's getting completely overshadowed by Peterson.

I can understand some of those teams going for another need. But Detroit has a stud WR in Williams and they have 2 or 3 other good ones with him. They didn't need a WR. They don't really have a great run game.

Arizona needed a RB because James is just not the same back without Manning. He never has been. Yes most of that is because of health. But they went after an OT and they now have the 25th ranked run game in the NFL. Go with an AD that average is probably up 100 yards a game if not more.

Cleveland is also a team that could use a running back.

Minn may have gotten one of the best steals ever in the draft. This guy will be the best running back in the league for a long time.

But the guy never looked half this good at OU.

I watched him in his first game as a true freshman, and I thought he could have been a Top 5 draft pick if he came out that day.

Maybe if Stoops wouldn't have ran him into the ground as a freshman with 300+ carries, he would have stayed healthy.

He was always running into blockers and didn't follow holes that well. He was really good at OU and is one of the 10 best backs ever at OU. And he had an amazing freshman year but he never showed the top level speed he's shown in the NFL so far. He was a physical back with some speed but not this type of speed.

McFadden is really slow compared to the Peterson in the NFL so is Barry Sanders, Greg Pruitt, or any other big time speed type back you can put in there.
