You are correct....AD should thank us for not ruining his bright future.

Watching Peterson run today after seeing Levi sitting on the sidelines just drove home why the Cardinals have been a marginal franchise for the last 20 years.

You can't draft for need, you must draft talent. I said it before the draft, I'll say it again. AP is the next Eric Dickerson and Levi Brown will be an average OT in the NFL.

What a shame that once again our front office elected to fill a hole instead of drafting the best player available.

Well for Minnesota's sake I hope he's not the next ED. Great back who spent time with the rams, colts, and falcons and never won a ring.

Love AD but hate i told you so threads that don't show their ugly heads when the player in question stumbles or has an average day as was the case against philly and dallas.

Tiz.....You are always on spot with most of what you say. However two games does not make a season my brother....1 STAT needs to be considered....740 RUSHING YARDS!!!!! That LEADS the NFL.....Take into account that he is playing in MInny and that everyone and their mother know the Vikings are going to run the ball, that is INCREDIBLE....Oh and he is a rookie!!

Peterson is the first rookie in history to have two games rushing over 200 yards, and leads the entire NFL for the season in rushing. At what point is someone supposed to step up and say this is a great player that the Cards should have gotten?

he's actually over 1k in 8 games. And i'm fully aware of him being #1 going into this year just like i was about Edge being #5 despite not enjoying a player like Hutch on the OL.

Not taken anything away from AD's wonderful season but remember AD's having a great year with an OL that helped Taylor have a great year last year. Edge was top 5 with a newly forged OL

Which brings me to my initial point in all this. AZ was not in a position where they could enjoy the luxury of drafting Peterson and needed to try and do something to block for Edge and protect for Matt and Kurt. Despite the great win today both Minn and AZ are 3-5

But RBs like Peterson are a dime a dozen. They come along all the time ;)
