As long as you hit the mute button every time it's Sterling Sharpe's turn to talk.
I think if you look at the QB's Minnesota has trotted out recently, blocking isn't really an issue (Ball isn't getting anywhere either way) and the odds of him needing to catch a pass farther than 2-3 yards away is low. So with those two requirements safely removed thanks to Minny's current starters, he's the best running back in the game.
Sims was a great back and that injury was really a freak occurrence. Peterson will be off the charts good if he can stay healthy but he has collarbone issues which will likely effect him later.
Why would this affect him later if it hasn't already? The injury was quite some time ago.
He's broken it twice, the last time in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl (Don't know if that's some time ago to you or not). He was supposed to get surgery to have a metal plate inserted to help it in the future but he decided against it. HTH.Why would this affect him later if it hasn't already?

Only broken once as far as I know. I didn't realize he rebroke it in the Fiesta Bowl?He played with a bruished shoulder in his freshman year that he got in the Texas game.He's broken it twice, the last time in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl (Don't know if that's some time ago to you or not).

But RAIDERNATION left out throwing. I believe LT has the highest passer rating in the league this season, and it's pretty insane for his entire career as well.I think if you look at the QB's Minnesota has trotted out recently, blocking isn't really an issue (Ball isn't getting anywhere either way) and the odds of him needing to catch a pass farther than 2-3 yards away is low.

Broke it last year vs ISU but re-injured it in the Fiesta Bowl. Likely didn't have enough time to fully let it set so it is one injury which occurred twice. Also have to remember the high ankle sprain in 2005. Injuries are a concern with this guy but I hope it's never an issue. I'm an OU homer also btw.Only broken once as far as I know.

Uhk. He wasn't supposed to have surgery. They considered surgery but decided against it. I'm pretty sure that if this was serious enough, they would have gone through with the surgery.Also, he broke his collarbone 12 months ago and re-aggravated it 10 months ago. That is a VERY long time for a collarbone injury.He's broken it twice, the last time in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl (Don't know if that's some time ago to you or not).

You're confused by the truth? I don't follow. I'm a big fan, and don't own him in any leagues.Uhk. He wasn't supposed to have surgery. They considered surgery but decided against it.

He participated in off-season workouts, preseason, and he has had 96 carries + kickoff duties through 5 games. Does that sound like anyone is concerned about his injuries? The answer is no.
I hope you're trying to set up a trade for him in your league by attempting to lower his value here; otherwise I'm pretty
K. You're saying the truth is that it will "likely effect him later." Please explain. How long do collarbone injuries take to heal? Chance of it bothering him again? There is nothing to support your truth here. That's great that you don't own him and you are a big fan, it doesn't mean at all that you're not going to put out false information/conjecture.You're confused by the truth? I don't follow.

That's not the main issue though most of us Vikes' fans have with the sharing. In the situations in which Taylor is put in there over AD. For some reason Taylor is in there in the pivotal points, or when the D seems softened, or for a long duration after AD has had a great series of runs. Ideally I'd like a 70-30 splits but wouldn't have a single gripe on a 55-45 split if it was done so wisely.
What call?
Wow man, you are really getting excited about this. Here is a link on shoulder injuries and rates of recurrence. Considering Peterson plays professional football I would imagine the chances of him re-injuring compared with say a computer guy who fell hiking, is much higher wouldn't you agree. Why would I want to spread false information anyway? Whatever, here is the LinkK. You're saying the truth is that it will "likely effect him later." Please explain.

ah, yeah it was. I still say LT, but that's certainly no knock on AD.
Just when I thought the hype couldn't get any greater for this guy, Baldy makes a ridiculous statement like this.How can people crown this guy after 5 games? It's way too soon to be comparing him to the upper tier of RBs.Baldinger said that before A-Pete tore up the Bears today. He stated it during his NFC Playbook show a few days ago on the NFL Network. I thought the statement was premature, if not a little absurd (Tomlinson, anyone?)... but the guy may be right.
LT must have watched the show. He has 3 TDs himself so far....Just when I thought the hype couldn't get any greater for this guy, Baldy makes a ridiculous statement like this.How can people crown this guy after 5 games?

Interesting. I couldn't find that anywhere in the things I've been looking through. You wouldn't happen to know where I may read up on such a thing would you? Seriously, I broke mine a few years ago.
He did it after 4 games, and that was his conclusion from watching a lot of game tape, NOT including this amazing game. He wasn't a fan of his before he came to the NFL, as he said he first noticed him when he had his long TD catch in the first game. He's not saying he's had the best NFL career -- he's just saying he's the best at his position.Not sure I'd agree with that yet as far as the all-around aspects of the position are concerned, but he's certainly one of the best talents at the position.Just when I thought the hype couldn't get any greater for this guy, Baldy makes a ridiculous statement like this.How can people crown this guy after 5 games?

nope... no reference. This is what i was told by my orthopedist when i broke my clavicle about 10 years ago. My stepfather, who was a medic of somekind in the armed forces for awhile, said the same.
The fact that the Vikes can win games tells me he knows what he's doing. They ran the ball 42 times today and I don't think any AP owner wants him getting all those carries. 20 carries a game is great for keeping him healthy and explosive.He's not even the best RB on his team. Surely Childress is smart enough to give his best back the majority of the carries, right?
That's not the gripe here man. The gripe is the timing and situations those carries are divided up. It just doesn't make football sense to put the inferior back in when the "right" call is to run to maintain a lead. They blew the GB doing that and almost lost this game because of it. It's mind-boggling.The fact that the Vikes can win games tells me he knows what he's doing.
