Gore has a better shot.I do not see Gore or Peterson catching Emmitt.
He is #5 in rushing yards since 2015. Pretty crazy. He is 2,355 yards behind Emmitt.

Based on his career averages, Gore would break said record some point late in the 2022 season.Gore has a better shot.

AP's a total lock for the HOF.Hell if he even comes close he will be in the Hall of Fame - then again he probably will go into the Hall just for trucking that Steelers player.
I think you'd need to use his recent averages though vs career numbers. Right?Based on his career averages, Gore would break said record some point late in the 2022 season.

Adrian Peterson still hopes to catch Emmitt Smith's rushing record - ProFootballTalk
He turns 36 next month. And he's not yet ready to surrender his quest to catch Emmitt Smith for the NFL's career rushing record. Adrian Peterson reiterated his longstanding desire to (1) win a Super Bowl and (2) catch Smith's record in recent remarks to TMZ.com. "I'm going to keep playing, trying to chase the [more]

If there's anyone I wouldn't doubt to do it, it's him. I don't like him but he is an amazing RB and in the conversation for best ever. His comeback from that injury is still marveled at by other RB's.
When he was coming out of high school, he mentioned challenging the rule about how players entered the NFL and if there ever was a guy that could have played in the NFL at 18, he was the one.
Wasn't there an old Raider from back in the day who skipped college and came right to the NFL but I think he did like a year or two in the army first? Maybe it was the AFL from back in the day. I recall Coach Madden talking about him on the radio after he died.. I will look it up later when I have some time. But on the topic of AP getting to Emmitt's record? Nobody beats Father Time. We've seen that Father Time has robbed Peterson of his trademark explosion and without that he's just a big strong slow dude who takes too long to recover from hits owing to his age. It's a miracle he has lasted as long as he has with his running style which is a testament to his talent.. but I'm afraid he is pretty done..
Otis Sistrunk....it was said of him he went to The University of Mars.
Can you imagine Frank Gore being the all time leading rusher. Just think about that. He ran for over 1300 yards in a season once.Gore has a better shot.

Longevity is an underrated trait in the NFL.Can you imagine Frank Gore being the all time leading rusher. Just think about that. He ran for over 1300 yards in a season once.
Sorry @CouchCoach - but AP isn't close to pulling it off. He is a year younger than Frank Gore, while AP has 14,820 yards and Frank Gore has 16,000 yards.If there's anyone I wouldn't doubt to do it, it's him. I don't like him but he is an amazing RB and in the conversation for best ever. His comeback from that injury is still marveled at by other RB's.

If Jerome Bettis and Curtis Martin can be in the HOF, then Gore should be in.AP's a total lock for the HOF.
Gore's in the conversation but more workhorse than spectacular, obviously.
But catching Emmitt? nahhh
At their current pace, Gore would need 4 more 600 yard years (which is his current pace) and Peterson would need another 6 years.
Not impossible, but highly improbable
