Brad Childress.
Wrong.
Portis is certainly making a case for number one.
+1, he is a hack! ADP could have had decent outings against NO & Det. if it weren't for his terrible offensive playbook & playcalling. Minnesota should sent him packing and give Lane Kiffin a call pronto! Childress has been given more talent every year and the Vikings have gotten worse, the ref's have basically given him 2 wins the past two weeks.
Peterson could have had a great game today if he didn't fumble twice! The guy is #3 in the NFL in rushing, how is that disappointing?
Yeah but with Felix being injured now Marion has got to be #1
Where are the TDs? Where is the defining monster game? In redraft I'd take Barber for him in a heartbeat.
Whoopee! 11.1 points w/o the fumbles. He's tearing it up.
Just think he is a more complete RB.why?
Cut it out. There's no place for that sort of reasoning here. Ricky Bobby Logic © or nothing. "If you're not first, you're last."PS Yeah, the Trademark thingy would have looked cooler, but I don't know how to do that one.
people are/were expecting the rookie that ran for 200 yards a couple times last year and took the league by storm, not a Julius Jones type performance. He didn't have a bad day but the worst RB's in the league avg. 4.4 ypc against the Lions. In fact, the Lions avg. 4.9 ypc against for the season so ADP had a below average day against the 2nd worst run defense behind the best line.
Hey, I went to school in Austin....Drop that OU helmet down to your side...and salute the longhorn baby!!
Not if you have bonus points for a hundred yard game....12.1....deal with it.
#5 is a good point. They should get him some touches (screens, etc) in the open field. For heaven's sake childress, get a clue!!
I dont remember ADP winning anyone a championship last year, he has a ways to go before he should be considered heads and tails above other elite RBs. I do think MINN was missing their LT for the first 4 games though, right; B.Mckinney?
it amazes me that AP had just a few huge RUNS that skewed a few games and everyone was ready to crown him king. I dont understand why all bad games last season were so ignored.
I know what people were expecting...just like they are expecting the 14 budweisers and 20 chicken wings won't affect their weight. 100+ yards WITH Childress's horrible play calling....not too shabby.
How is his situation any different from last year?
a disappointment.
very very true..drafted him figuring the same as all..run all day..problem is what day.
Let's put this to rest people. Since it's obvious that most of you didn't watch the game....Detroit sold out to stop Peterson. They gave up 131 yards receiving to Berrian, 71 to Wade, and even 40 to Kleinsasser.If one NFL team really wants to contain one player..it can be done (see Santana Moss last week). Maybe AP should be congratulated for rushing for 100+ against a defense designed to stop him.
I would think every team would plan to stop Peterson. Teams have been trying to stop LT for years. How has that worked out?
Ding Ding...Thats exactly how it's playing out, esp. the last two games. Look, two very sub-par defenses made him look mortal, and all because they stacked the box and said---beat us through the air. Well, Frerotte did at N.O., not so much vs Detroit but still---when (if) defenses see him on the field when its third down and long, and realize he can pick up the blitz and block, and can also make the first down with a grab via the pass--Mr. Peterson will have a very different landscape facing him---from that point forward. And, go from being a very good RB, to perhaps a great one.
omg. that was funny.seriously, though, what RBs in the NFL are better than him right now? barber? ok. jackson? ok. westbrook? ok. gore? ok. what do those 4 do that peterson doesn't right now? catch the ball out of th ebackfield. hell, correll buckhalter looked like marshall faulk today because the eagles used him on screens. it doesn't take much to do it. but perhaps there's a lack of confidence in his hands. peterson may end up leading the nfl in rushing yards this year, but fantasywise, he's a step behind, particularly in PPR leagues.
and this was my main issue with him coming into the season...
That's why I don't even draft RB's at all. I can't find one that will get that. I started a QB only league.
it's this kind of rare vision that has allowed me to win 11 Fantasy titles in a row
Don't get cocky, your sister drafted a REALLY good team this year.
