Sure, I'll take Pats over the spread at 35-24.
AP is great and I try to draft him every year in Fantasy Football but he is NOT and NEVER WILL BE Barry Sanders. The moves Barry had never existed before he came into the NFL and will likely never be seen again in our lifetime. Even if AP racks up more yards will he be another Emmit Smith who everyone says he should thank Barry for retiring before he set all the records?
I can't count how many times I remember Sanders being hit in the back field a split second after the ball was handed to him and still managed to pull positive runs out of his ass and even once had a TD run after being met by two defenders immediately after getting the ball, the man was fucking houdini or however you spell it.
It'll be very impressive if Seattle and SF lose out considering they still have to play each other.
Is what I was referring to. 2 different types of runners. I think AP is a more rare breed at this point in time though. And what he is doing with the lack of QB play he is getting... super impressive..
The Lions had a QB???? Rodney Peete, Andre Ware and Eric Kramer? I think Favre might have put up better numbers in his 2 years with AP then all 3 of those QB's did in Sanders career combined.
That comment reminds me of my uncle and having to explain to him how the "Redskins, Cowboys and Giants all winning out" isn't possible considering we play the skins in the last game of the year.
I know you didn't just leave out the QB that he played his final season with. The immortalCharles Q. Batchingsworth III.
I think he had Mitchell as well who was one of those QB's who looked good after an Injury propelled them into starting, played well for a game or two and then went off and made millions and never played worth a fuck again.
That was just a statement in regards to his year. He is performing and carrying a team like Sanders did. I'm not trying to make the argument that's he's done as much for the position as Barry Sanders did. That would be silly. We are mainly talking stats.
