All Day said that he will be passing Emmitt Smith's rushing record on the 16th week of 2017. To do so, he will have to average just over 1,900 yards a season for the next 5 seasons. Does he do it? If anyone can, it's gonna be this guy. Absolute freak

I love AP. I have always loved AP. But...I dont think he will be able to keep up that pace for 5 seasons. He is an extremely violent and powerful runner. With that being said, he has been bitten hard by the injury bug sometimes and I fear that will continue. When healthy, there is no better back in the league!

When he starts to lose a step (in 5 years he will lose a couple) they will start to platoon him. His production will go down and his carries will go down eg LT. I love the guy but it isn't going to happen.

Totally agree. LT was one of my all-time favorite players and the same thing happened to him. The career of an NFL running back is short lived, unfortunately!

I do agree if there is anyone to do it, it would be him. Dude comes back off a catastrophic injury and has a phenomenal year. I kinda hope he can maintain because I like him more than Emmit (coming from a 'Skins fan). Regardless, of how unlikely.

If he doesn't do it in five years, I think it is safe to say that he will eventually do it at some point (Given that he remains healthy)

Honestly, it is really hard to not like Peterson. If he stays healthy, I do believe he will break the record. I just dont think it will be in the time frame he stated.

I would gladly say that he wont break the record in 5 seasons. It just wont happen. He is too injury prone to break it that soon. However, if he does stay healthy, I can easilly see him breaking it, just not in 5 seasons.

I wouldnt say he's injury prone. Missed four games due to a torn acl, but prior to that only missed one game due to injury in his career. Seems to be doing fine off that acl injury by the way

LOL Peterson will be lucky to be play again. He deserves to get so close and to watch legendary status slip on bye. Brought down by himself rather than an injury or age. Another waste of talent. I just hope someone smacks the stupid out of this worthless POS now.
