ok, no more GOAT talk for ...

Adrian peterson. 3 fumbles in the NFC Championship game would get most running backs a spot on the bench, practice squad or cut. But since everyone is so enamoured with his big play ability he probably wont get any of those things. big play ability is great, but you need to have the ball in your habds for all of the 65 yards for it to count.

Fumblitis is treatable. Not sure if a cure has been developed, though.

they cured tiki, but he was coachable...

Yes, while Adrian Peterson has a long history of being a lockeroom cancer who refuses to listen to coaches and is a media whore throwing everyone around him under the bus.

wait... that sounds like Tiki.

they had the running backs coach and AP on nfl films this year and he is always telling AP to get that ball high anf tight... and yet here we are.

The high-cradle did work well for him.

I doubt it's Peterson refusing to take his advice rather Peterson in the heat of the moment reverting to how he's probably held the ball since he was 8 years old.

Look how long it took Holmgren to fully tame Favre - to fully rework the most fundamental part of your game takes more then 6 months, especially for a running back where how you hold the ball is something you do sub-conciously without thinking.

When the fuck was there GOAT talk for Peterson? GORN maybe, but GOAT?

this is what i was thinking.



never knew he was GOAT after 2 years

[steeljake]

plenty of people were on teh GOAT talk for AP, including the interception machine known as brett favre.

[bringbackjimmy]

e have all seen how the players feel about Childress...After how brett has talked down to him during games I think it will be hard for him to get the respect of the players to actually listen to him going forward esp if brett stays...

[bringbackjimmy]

going down the list at a fast pace thats for sure...

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

FYI hes lost as many fumbles in 3 years as Emmitt or Barry did there first 6.

Hes eerily similar to Dickerson. Has put up some gaudy numbers but dissapears when hes asked to do alot and fumbles at a ridiculous rate.

Most RBs cut there fumbles down after there rookie year. Peterson somehow seems worse.


At the end of the day this thread is weird because noones called hom GOAT .....at all.

[krulmichael]

We all know Barry is the GOAT.

See how I just changed the subject of the thread...hehe :D

[steeljake]

i have jim brown as the alltime greatest, but i wouldnt agrue against barry for #2 or 3.
