he was having a strong year too

Re: Adrian Peterson out for the season
 

Yea, OU has had some tough luck. Without him they are [censored]...they went from an above average team--10-2/9-3, to possibly a 8-4/7-5 team. Not good.

Re: Adrian Peterson out for the season
 

Really unfortunate for him. Didn't even look like he fell that hard. Total fluke.

Re: Adrian Peterson out for the season
 

The one positive for Peterson is that this won't seriously hurt his NFL prospects.

Sucks for the guy. He's getting injured a lot, it seems.

well if he put up a 1800yd 20td season like he was on pace for, I think he prob jumps after the season, Im not sure he goes pro now

if he would have stayed healthy and played all 4 years, he would be the career rushing leader

Re: Adrian Peterson out for the season
 

I know this isn't really exactly what happened here, but it made me think of all those guys that do this, and what if they hurt themselves.

I'm thinking of the guys who are running 40 yards untouched and dive from the 2 yard line with no one around them cause they are [censored], then land on their shoulder and break it.

Sucks for AP, as a Lions fan, I was looking forward to him in the Honolulu blue and silver.

LOL, what a [censored]. One less Heisman contender for Troy Smith to deal with.

...followed by Chris Leak's anti-good performance today. If Ohio St. makes it past Michigan, it's gotta be Troy's. Steve Slaton could make a push, but the Heisman seems increasingly geared towards quarterbacks recently (Reggie fuckiing Bush aside).

Looked to me as if he has no one to blame but himself. Appeared he was showboating and dived into the end zone when it was completely unnecessary. Guess he must have inherited those good judgment genes.

It must suck to be an Oklahoma fan right now. First Bomar, then the Oregon fiasco, then getting whipped by Texas, then talk of sanctions against OU for Bomar and now this. Wow.

ZOMG The Next Charles Rogers!

I agree. What else is there in college for him? He most likely would have won the Heisman this year if he continued on that pace. He was in the NC game. He's going to be a great back in the pro's I don't see any reason why he should not come out.

You need to get your eyes checked. He was tripped up by a defender. This wasn't a showboat dive.

I may schedule my eye exam right after Stoops' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

"Just diving into the end zone and when he landed, he landed wrong," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.

Peterson was touched by the defender, but he probably could have maintained his balance. There is no question he could have simply fallen into the end zone for a TD. Perhaps being tripped affected his intended trajectory and resulted in the injury. There appears to be no question to me or Stoops that he dove into the end zone.

He broke his collarbone diving you are right but to say that he shoudlnt of dove is not right. If the defender was near him and it looked like the defender might be able to keep him out of the endzone he has to dive. Plus he is running full speed when a defender come near him he doesnt have time to reason that he can probably just fall into the endzone instead of dive. He saw the defender, knew he wasnt in the end zone yet and dove in just like he is probably coached to do.

Show me where Stoops said Peterson was showboating, which was obviously the part of your statement I was debating.
