I think Peterson is. He ran for 296 yards and 3 touchdowns yesterday! Opinions?

So far he is. Ron Dayne and Aadai are also good. So is Rodney Harrison.

This year it's definitely Peterson. Though I still think LaDanian is right up there. Either way, they are both very entertaining to watch. We'll see how Peterson does in the years to come, if he can sustain this level. Then he will easily become the best back in the NFL. The Vikes are a pretty crappy team. So if he can make great runs with a bad team, like Barry Sanders was able to do with the horrible Lions, then his future is bright.
Barry Sanders is my all time favorite player to watch. He would have easily shattered the all time rushing record had he played with an even decent team or played as many years as Emmitt Smith, whom had one of the best offensive lines in his day.

Currently it's LT. The day Peterson had was a major outlier with regard to his mean and median performance.
In history I would take Jim Brown or Earl Campbell.

Well the best running back this season has been Joseph Addai. But I will give you Adrian Peterson as the hottest running back right now. No one can stop him but that will change. Reggie Bush and the Saints had a great year last year but when defenses adjusted they slowed them down.

Adrian Peterson -- Broke an all time NFL record yesterday. And he's only a rookie!

Peterson is off to an impressive start, but he has yet to show the consistency year-in and year-out that Tomlinson has.
All-time, I'd take Barry Sanders.

peterson is carrying that team and may get so many yards that he gets the mvp. He has rookie of the year already they just have to put his name on the trophy and send it to him.

for the season westbrook he does everything run and catch then id say a close second is addai but peterson is def a strong runner and i think as the talent of the team rises he will to then he will become an elite like LT and the names above and a few others
