Will someone please remind Adrian Peterson that he is only a rookie. Rookies aren’t supposed to lead the NFL in rushing. Rookies aren’t supposed to set NFL single game rushing records. Rookies aren’t supposed to average 6.6 yards per carry or be on pace for 2000 yards rushing. Some please tell Peterson that.

Yesterday Adrian Peterson put on another show for us against the San Diego Chargers, rushing for 296 yards on 30 carries, setting an NFL record for most rushing yards in a single game. ADP (All Day Peterson) is a man amongst boys. He is making the NFL look easy. There’s a reason the Vikings took him 5th overall, but damn… I don’t think they were expecting this.

You’ve got to imagine that playing on astroturf for half his games is contributing to his numbers. ADP can just shread on the turf. He ran a 4.3 40 on grass, I can’t imagine what he is running it in the dome.

If Brady weren’t going completely nuts this year, Peterson would be an MVP candidate as a rookie. Well that and plus the Vikings have only 3 wins and not many MVPs are on losing teams. But anyways, ADP is having a season for the ages. This is once in a lifetime type stuff we’re witnessing. He has two games now with over 200 yards rushing and there’s still 8 games left to play!
