In an incredible comeback from a major knee injury, Adrian Peterson is 294 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson's single season NFL rushing record.
Does Getbig think he will break the rushing record or not?
I say he will break the record.
(Bodybuilding related because all Getbig members are built like Peterson)
-
maybe
-
No will fall way short of it
-
Not sure if he will break it, but I think he will beat Jamal Lewis's total.
-
No will fall way short of it
If he's only 294 yards away, how will he fall "way" short?
Even if he gets 2,106 yards I'm not sure that is better than O.J.'s 2,003 in 14 games.

1 yard is close
2 yard is kinda close
3 yard is nice try
4 yards is way short
-
Two games left? Depends on how good the opposing defenses are at stopping the run.

I gave your Mom four yards of hard.
(Sorry, I had too ;D)
-
No, that's almost 150 per game. He'll fall short.

She thinks 4 hard yards is way short too ;D

he ran for 212 today,,, 8)...

they'll design the offense for him to get the record. He'll get 50 carries a game if that's what it takes.

I have no idea what he is breaking, but Great Great Grandpa broke many just like him and if they didn`t listen, he would just sell and buy a new one.
-
Vikings last 2 games are against the Texans and the Packers.....wont b easy for him thats for sure
they'll design the offense for him to get the record. He'll get 50 carries a game if that's what it takes.
only if they can still win the game. That will be first priority
-
What is amazing about Mr. Peterson is that other teams game plan to stop him. They know that Minnesota does not have a quarterback, yet he is still putting up amazing numbers and has his team in playoff contention.
There is no better combination of speed and power.
-

but other team know this and build defenses to stop it.
-
Holy fuck! Where the hell have I been at to miss any back... especially AP to accumulate that many yards this season? The Vikings must be trying to prove a point by running him that much. With so many teams splitting the workload between two running backs nowadays, we may not see anyone get this close to the season record anytime soon...

They've got 2 really tough games left, including having to travel to Houston, but even if they win out, they're not guaranteed to make the playoffs.

Imagine what plantation owners could do with today's reproductive technologies.
Oh, wait...
-
In a pass happy league it is unusual , but Vikings have Christian Ponder who is still learning his way around the NFL! A.P. is a freak hope he breaks the rushing record!
-

My prediction is they learn right before the last game that they're mathemtically out of the playoffs, so AP goes out and ends the year with a 300 yard rushing game to destroy the record :)
-
might be regarded as one of the greatest backs of all time when it's said and done.hall of fame ..

i threw him in as a running in the "best runningbacks of all time" thread where i think only one other guy mentioned AP
people love to romanticize the old
-
No, not against the two teams he still has to play against.

or jim brown's 1863 yards on 291 carries 6.4yds per carry for the whole year. by the way calvin johnson only 182 yards away from jerry rice's rec yard record of 1848 yds for a year.
-
there always going to compare 14/16 game seasopn,how many carries,avg yards per carry,,,bottom line is yards are yards in the end...brown,sayers,campbell,harris,payton,riggins,oj,dorsett,marcus allen,to name a few have there place ,e smith,sanders,dickerson,bettis,c martin,t davis,have there claim.
-
Nope
-
calvin johnson already set his record with one game to go not looking so great for peterson though.
-
when did/does Peterson play today? results?

today got about 86 yards only.1812 and 86=1898yds with one more game to go needs 2105 for record not looking good.

no heart. I could run 1898 years without spilling my diet mt dew. it's like he's not even trying these days.
-
No he won't do it "close but no cigar".
-
Won't do it. Not even a cinch to hit 2000 yards, but I still think he'll hit the 2K mark.
-
Needs 208 yards against Green Bay next week to break the record. He ran for 210 yds the first time the two teams faced off including an 82 yard TD run. Won't be easy, but I think he can do it.
-
Tough to get 208 on GB next week
-
He will do it.

I hope you being sarcastic.....you can't be this stupid

240 one of the best posters here knows his stuff.
-

If 240 says he can do it, I believe it.
I once saw him nurse a baby chimp back to health with his own tears. And he never cries.
That chimp later became the first primate to be launched into space by NASA. Our country owes him a debt.
-
Green bay will play balls out against their division Rivals Minnesota , they will not let Peterson get those 200+ yards just so they wont be in a Highlight reel for the next 20years

Minnesota doesn't help him either. They could have easily given him 10 more carries yesterday but didn't. Almost like the coach doesn't give him the carries to do so but when he breaks 70 and 80 yard runs the coach can't stop that.

plus the Vikings made the playoffs so they will try and rest him a little for the playoffs ,no way they will give him that many carries to break the record

I like your fan spirit. But it's a bit early to know if the Vikings made the playoffs just yet. Bit of a logjam for those wildcard spots in the NFC right now.

They have already clinched a playoff game

They don't have a playoff berth locked up just yet. If they beat Green Bay sunday, they're in. If they lose they still can make it, but The Chicago Bears would have to lose to the Detroit Lions
-The New York Giants would have to lose to the Philadelphia Eagles
-The Dallas Cowboys would have to lose to the Washington Redskins.

you do know you have 11 guys on the other team trying to dismantle you as you run the 1898 yards, don't you?????? guys like this only some bigger and meaner.

I really hope Adrian breaks the record. I guy like him, loves the fucking game and had to sit for a good amount of last season with the torn ACL. You see when you love a game so much, the way AP does, just sitting on the sidelines watching and not being able to participate hurts, it just grinds a mental hole in him not being able to be out there.
After sitting for that period of time and being forced to watch and not play, he is just going all out and giving it all he's got and them some. You see most RBs after a game and they look all beat up from being hit so much. Not him - you see him in an interview post game and he just has a smile from ear to ear.
1 more week. Good luck Adrian -

Tough to get 208 on GB next week
i can post 208 posts in one day on GB. he can get 208 if he tries.

He'd be lucky to get 20 carries for 90 yards against GB

If I remember correctly, today is one year ago to the day that Peterson injured his knee.
-

I wouldn't say that. As I said earlier, it was just three weeks ago that AP gashed the GB defence for 210 yards on 21 carries. Not saying he's going to repeat that performance, but 208 yards is very doable for him againt a GB run defence that gives up an average of 111.9yds per game. The Vikes will give him every oppritunity to get it & his o-line will be very determined to see that he gets it.

Yup.

That's correct. I didn't realize it happened that late last season - I had to look it up. That makes this accomplishment all that much more impressive. The guy is a damn beast!!

He is a beast...and talk about epitome of EPIC gene selection. Father was a collegiate level basketball player, and mother was a top collegiate level sprinter. That shouldn't be allowed in the rules of fair play lol.
Here's some of his recovery:

Yeah, I wasn't correcting you, I was just pointing out that his recovery timeline has been astounding.
I don't think he will break Dickerson's record this season, but I'd like to see him get 2,000.

I was praying they missed the FG so he could get it in OT.

won't happen. The NFL set unreal expectations for him and promoted the record so much that if he didn't break it he would lose the lustre to be the MVP. They pump up Peyton but fuck him. Why is he the MVP? he went to a team that already was in the playoffs and that won a playoff game. Denver lost 3 games to 3 great teams and Denver then runs through a bunch of scrub teams. But the NFL loves, LOVES white MVPs. just look back at the last 20 years. Almost all WHITE MVPs. When Barry Sanders was hands down the best in the NFL he had to share his MVP with Favre. Complete bullshit.

Andrew LUCK should be MVP
Took that shitty team to the playoffs with a backup Head Coach, and they look to be a decent team in the playoffs too

Yes, for some reason Drew Brees is getting a free pass for this season because his coach was suspended but Luck isn't getting any love when he didn't have his coach either.

Would have loved to see both get 2,000
AP AND CJ
