Adrian Peterson is not Overrated, statistical comparison CTaylor - AP

[Leaky Eye]

Some of these anti-ADP points are just plain wrong. ADP is NOT a boom or bust runner. He has 158 carries so far this year and 10 of them are greater than 20 yards. Even if you pretend those ten carries never happened he would still have 3.84 yards per carry! There is your hypothetical 4 yds 100% of the time guy. Only he also busts huge runs.

The reason he has some low totals is the rest of the offense can't do anything. One of those games cited in this thread was the Dallas game. MN completed SIX PASSES in that game. Yet ADP still had 5.3 ypc. He only got 16 carries because MN couldn't hold the ball due to the rest of the offense.

ADP is having the best season in the NFL by far right now. He is the only thing a defense has to stop and they still can't. I honestly can't believe a running back can have an impact like that.
