You'll see in time...Peterson will not have the success Bush will have.EMMITTnROY said:see thats the thing, I think that even Longhorns fans can admit to Peterson being the real deal.. for the guy that went on about Bush.. do you really honestly think that Peterson isnt the full package? he is a big strong back with exceptional speed.. a home run threat every time but he can also run linebackers over.. he spins, jukes, has speed, power, moves.. and has proven to be an every down back, unlike Bush..

This is like arguing Emmitt versus Barry...you can't win either side....I'll just say wait and see on both. I believe Reggie Bush is going to be another Marshall Faulk. I believe Peterson is a big strong kid who had a great year on a team that ran the ball down people's throats...last year, even when not injured, he struggled with his team. I think he runs too tall and will be tagged all the time in the NFL.
Maybe they'll both be great, but I'm leaning towards Peterson being one of those guys who has nothing else, who will be run into the ground this year.
