Quote:Lol what? This is a stretch, even for you. No one is calling him superhuman. We are simply saying that Peterson is a generational talent, so his trajectory should be compared to other generational talents at the position. It isn't rocket science.

 

It's not a stretch.  History supports my premise.  It doesn't back yours up at all.  As far as this new "generational talent" thing goes, pump the brakes.  Being a "generational talent" doesn't make him immune to anything.  Talent can't overcome physical limitations as the body starts to fail, and Peterson is due. 

 

Quote:Also, FBT, you never answered my question. Over/Under 3,000 yards for AP the next three season? I'll take the over, you name the wager.

 

Message board bets?  What are you?  12?  I'll go with the over just to spoil your bet.  That doesn't make him a must have for this team, especially if we're giving up a draft pick or multiple picks to land an aging $15 million veteran.  With the improvements on our offensive line and the scheme itself, if we secure one of the better backs in the draft, we could see equal production for what?  1/3 or less of the cost?
