That's Peterson. Not bad.
Jonathan Taylor blows this garbage out of the water.
339 carries his FR year, for a 5.7 avg.
AD (not AP) is a good example of what I always harp on about rating players.
Peterson was a MAN at 18/19 years old. He could have gone straight to the NFL physically. He came in like gangbusters and ran all over everyone. He had some injuries. All of it. We know, we all saw.
But his stats, while really good, aren't super amazing. His ability and physical gifts were special, but what he actually DID was merely great, not all-time special.
Conversely, Taylor seems pretty ho-hum compared to Peterson. But he DID a lot more. More everything, better per attempt, all of it.
Yet almost no one would rank Taylor over Peterson, outside of Madison. I don't get it. It's weird.
