He was considered by ever...I still go with CJ too. He was considered by everyone-literally everyone- to be a once in a generation talent. And he's shown flashes of it, but isn't getting enough chances to grow. But hell, even Rice had a rough rookie season at times.<BR/><BR/>As for Peterson, I seem to recall there being a concern with his injury history. Wasn't there once a question of whether he'd even be able to play this year? The Vikings got lucky when he dropped to them. Which is odd for a back that is considered to be the next Dickerson, no?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I also recall reading that his style of running was considered to be dangerous-too upright, and thus too likely to get hurt.<BR/><BR/>All of which made him a risky choice for number 2 in the draft. Especially if you have a (theoretically) pretty good running back already.<BR/><BR/>Finally, remember that our hero Dwew "Sharp as a marble" called CJ a bust, and announced that the Puddys should've drafted AP. That would be the day that AP got hurt.<BR/><BR/>Anybody want to go on record agreeing with that idiot?

I don't think Peterson was really ever in the equation. I think he surprised people with his talent, frankly. <BR/><BR/>The Lions have to start thinking like a midwest team. Not that Millen ever will.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639100291880626067noreply@blogger.com
