The "accolades" above are opinion. Jim's and my opinion. And they're based solely on this year. We thought AD would look worse than he has and, therefore, he's surprised us. Personally, given the severity of his injury, I didn't think he'd be able to do any power running this soon. Thankfully, I was wrong.CalVike wrote: While these accolades have strong basis in fact, Craig and Jim, they are solely based on past years. His performance this year has been merely pedestrian, and truly something far less than his standards. It may well be borne out over the 16-game season that he came back far too soon. That said, the team has come out much stronger than expected on offense so perhaps they can keep the pitch count down for the whole season, with the offense still successful.

All that Peterson hasn't done so far this season is break some big runs open. He's always been a guy who loses a few yards, gets some small gains, and then pops an amazing run open for big yardage. I think the big runs are coming, which will help pad his stats to a level that you like.
