If the line performs the same as it has for Frank Gore, Peterson would do no better.
oh son, you had to go there didn't you?
Peterson >>> Gore, and I LOVE Frank.
To begin with AP has the ability to run both inside and outside unlike Gore who's only really effective between the tackles. AP's field vision is also significantly better, he's able to see the hole's better and makes better decisions with direction as a result. Granted, his running highlights look great because the Vikings' line opens some nice gaps, but Gore wouldn't have AP's numbers if he played in Minny.
So let's not get carried away. Please.
Gore is
arguably a top-10 back in this league.
Peterson is one of the top-3 backs in the NFL.
