Quote:What if the Vikings drafted Peyton Manning? Then he would have been the only quarterback Adrian Peterson ever played with. Would you say Peterson was just a beneficiary of Manning?

 

That is what I am getting at. People are acting like just because a running back plays with Manning he sucks. Using your logic, you would have said Peterson sucks too.

 

No, you're using a severe hyperbole to skew the point. People think that Moreno is not as good as Edgerrin James or even Adrian Peterson. They are saying that because when he was without Manning, he was not producing at a high level, and he was often injured. Also, he was benched I believe at some point in his career for lack of production. It's not that he sucks, it's that I -we- believe this increased performance that he has seen this year is due to the fact of a rare, once-in-a-lifetime talent playing Quarterback for the team that he plays for.

 

Adrian Peterson produced a 2,000 yard career without Manning; The best Moreno has done wasn't even 1,000 yards without Manning.

 

Also, don't you dare insinuate that I am illiterate. I can read very well, and I worked very hard to develop that ability.
