Most Likely to Break Emmitt's Rushing Record? (1 Viewer)

[nb009]

After this season (6 full years), Adrian Peterson will be almost halfway there. Give or take a couple hundred yards.I think he has a real shot.

Peterson is a beast! But do you really think he will hold up long enough? I'd bet he'll get within a few thousand yards and fade into the sunset.

He's not human. I absolutely give him a better than 50/50 shot.

You're right, he's superhuman. He also runs violently. I could see him fallin off the cliff suddenly one day. But again, not being human.....

Guess we'll find out in about six years. I'll bump this thread then so cobalt can have another good cry.

I already voted. How can I change my answer from 6 years ago?
