Adrian Peterson finishes 9 yards shy of the all time rushing record

[FLWolvesFan]

For a back to rush for nearly 2100 yards in this pass happy age is astonishing, particularly when he blew out his ACL and MCL one year ago. Plus he has had no help from the passing game for the most part. It's hard to compare the greats but it's quite apparent he's one of them, if not at the top of the list when it's all said and done.

Rodgers has better numbers than manning. Peterson should win it by a longshot, but if the NFL gives it to a Quarterback which we all know they love doing it has to be Rodgers without question..he did more with less than Manning

He did more with less? How so, Rodgers has Nelson, Cobb, Jones, Finley, and Jennings for part of the season? Now all of a sudden DT and Decker are something bigger than that bunch?

Go see how often jennings and nelson were in the lineup. Add injuries to the O-line,Runningbacks and the entire defense and hopefully you get the picture. This broncos team made the playoffs with Tim Tebow as their quarterback!! the packers would be a 3-4 win team without Rodgers.

Not to mention comparing Denver's top 5 D to the Packer's average D

Still a phenomenal season and I think he deserves props from every fan regardless of team affiliation.

Congratulations AP! Second all time in rushing, and you singlehandedly carried the Vikings into the playoffs on the 1-year anniversary of your ACL tear.

he did good but im glad ED gets to keep his record

[Cracka2HI!]

What a season! He may be the best of all-time! This was probably the best season of all-time by a RB!!

[Vincent33]

Peterson should get the MVP. He is all that team has for offense and defenses still can't stop him let alone contain him. Peyton leads Denver to 5 more wins than Tebow...big ****ing whoop.

Plus, its not like Peyton set himself sooo far ahead of the other QBs in the league this year. It could be argued that he wasn't the best QB this year with Rodgers, Brady, Ryan, Romo even the 3 rookies. Peterson by far was the best RB in the league, cannot be argued. No argument can be made for another RB being better than Peterson. I said good day sir!

You have to consider that Eric Dickerson had roughly 30 more rushing attempts. Had Peterson had the same amount of carries as Dickerson had, he would have got the record. And would have beat it by about 300 yards.

So in my opinion, AP's season beats Dickerson's season.

[I am Smart]

Proud of Peterson, and the rest of the team. Excited to be a Vikings fan right now!

[kingkenny01]

I think AP deserves, But i think rodgers had a better season than peyton manning especially since the packers had no run game and if it has to go a qb it better be rodgers

[popo85]

One of great performances in recent history.

Dang
If they had just fed him a few more times!

[Green_Monster]

Nothing but respect for Peterson...he's a ****ing beast.
Rodgers deserves MVP though.

Come on, man.

[j11430]

In all seriousness, this may be one of the best individual seasons in sports history considering the circumstances.

This might be going a LITTLE far
