How quickly people forget the injury history after 2 great games and half a season.
I love stupid comments like these. Yes, this was definitive proof that ADP is injury prone. Most other running backs would have just popped right up from a direct shot to the knee. All owners, move him to the waiver wire, he isn't worth the roster spot.
a: I didnt say any of that.
b: Calm down mr. Defensive. Hopefully he will be fine.
c: Frank Gore has a less injury-riddled past. Look how that turned out.
Crippler, your comment did leave you open to a shot. Yes, ADP has had injuries in the past but the guy was leading the league in rushing. It's not "2 great games and half a season". In fact, if anything, I think we all should be amazed at how he put up those yards with so few touches.This is per Rotoworld:
Adrian Peterson left Sunday's game in the third quarter with a knee injury and did not return.
Peterson made a nice gain on a screen pass, but took a hit to the leg at the end of the play and stayed down for several minutes. He eventually limped off the field with the help of trainers and, after being looked at by the training staff, began jogging on the sidelines. Peterson looked capable of potentially returning to the game, but it was a non-issue with the Vikings getting blown out. He rushed for 45 yards on 11 carries before leaving.
Thanks for getting this back on track. And coyote is gone for a while. We're not going to be calling people's comments out as stupid. Especially when it's something like Peterson's injury history which is a huge concern. There's a reason he slid has far as he did in the draft.On the upside, fingers crossed in a big way the injury isn't serious.

Well, in Coyote's defense it is irritating when someone who missed out on a player like ADP comes in and starts crowing when the guy goes down. He'll deny it, but it's exactly what he was doing. And of course, no, nobody has forgotten that ADP has had injuries.
#1. That's why we don't bring personal teams into the Shark Pool.#2. I didn't see any "crowing" whatsoever. I saw a post that said,

His statement was 100% accurate. I have been amazed at the people this week appointing him the greatest RB of all time when
he's yet to show he can stay healthy consistently. Whether his supporters will admit it or not (and I LOVE this kid) this is HUGE concern for Adrian Peterson.

Seriously Joe how is it HIS fault? Al Harris made the most pansy tackle I've seen in a while...not that I blame him...I wouldn't want to tackle ADP normally either.Shoulder his freshman year and he played through it....NOT his fault.
High Ankle sprain Sophmore year...NOT his fault.
Victory dive in the endzone his Junior year and he broke his collarbone...THAT was his fault, but what a fluke injury.
"Sprained Knee" today...NOT his fault.
These are all common injuries to ANY RB at ANY level yet the concensus is ADP is injury prone. These same things could happen to ANY player at ANY level.
I can tell you that ADP would have come back into today's game if it was up to him despite it being a blowout. He also would have played with that high ankle sprain as he said in numerous interviews during his Sophmore season, he played in the bowl game his Junior Year even though he didn't have to, and he played through injury his freshman year as well. My gut tells me that barring a Ronnie Brown type MRI result he'll be suiting up next week even if he is not 100% AND he'll still produce at a RB1 level. He would have posted nice stats today in slop time if the Minny coaches didn't hold him out with the injury.
He didn't break his leg like Micheal Bush.
He doesn't have rebuit knees like Gore.
He's simply had bad luck with minor injuries that any other RB has the same risk of getting. The shoulder injury was the only one that can be attributed to his upright/punishing running style and even then he played though it.
Let's just all wait and see how this pans out tomorrow with the MRI and afterwards we can label him Adrian "Dainty" Peterson if need be.
