<p style="color:rgb(34,34,33);font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;">"I had the skill set to be a starter from the onset, but I was playing behind one of the best in the game," Gerhart recently said of Adrian Peterson, per The Florida Times-Union. "I've gotten comfortable with the speed of the game, but don't have the wear and tear on my body of someone carrying it 250 times a year.

<p style="color:rgb(34,34,33);font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;">"I think I'm in a unique situation. Even though it's my fifth year in the league, I can come in and be a dominant guy. I'm ready for my shot now."

I like where his head is at, but honestly I kind of feel bad for him.  He is finally getting his chance to prove himself as the work horse for an NFL team behind one of the worst NFL offenses.  We dont even have a center anymore.  Our only famous respected WR is banned from the NFL Blackmon, our QB is Henne a guy that no team wanted as a starter and most didnt even want as a backup.  He's got a lot going against him thats for sure.  If he can remain his 4.7 avg that would be very impressive!
