Adrian peterson career rushing record?

[SPTO]

He'll be in the top 5 for sure. Missing basically 2 seasons has put it out of reach IMO.

Yeah like you said physical freak and loves to prove people wrong like you said. Not only did he have the kind of season after the ACL but he was also back like 2 months faster then most people. He also had to over come a big injury coming from collage to the NFL with the collar bone.

I agree about how the league is more of a passing league and that makes things even more impressive but I have yet to see any thing that makes me think he is past his prim and like I said he missed most of last season but not because of injury so he should be a little more fresh. I think we will have a much better idea 2 years after this season because by then he may only be 4000 yards behind and will be old enough that we should have a good idea of if he is declining and how fast.
