26CornerBlitz Posted March 4, 2016 Author Posted March 4, 2016 That was the knock on Adrian Peterson coming out of Oklahoma. First Dickerson and now Peterson. Okay now! Again there's a difference in talent with speed, vision, and the ability to make quick jump cuts.
snamsnoops Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 NOt so much as saying he is Dickerson, just the his running style is something to compare to. He isn't Dickerson,not even close, but i think he can be pretty good with a little more experience as a RB. He is young and doesn't have that much time as a RB! He could be real good....We will have to wait n see. Hopefully the concussions dont happen!
CommonCents Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Hello I'm Karlos Peterson Dickerson Hello I'm Commonsense, we should get to know each other.
Saxum Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Hello I'm Karlos Peterson Dickerson Hello I'm Nonsense, we should get to know each other. Corrected.
K D Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Highly overrated. He's has some big plays because he hits the whole hard and doesn't mess around or dance but he's not an every down back and he hasn't shown he can stay healthy. I hope he has a big year...so they can trade him. Too bad RB don't have much trade value but every now and then you find a team that's desperate (like we were)

Dorkington Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Hopefully he stays healthy, primarily because if he continues on this path he's gonna have a hard life... but also it'll be good for the team.
MDH Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Eric Dickerson did alright. That's an outlier. In the history of the league there have been a handful of guys who have run upright and had any kind longevity in their careers. Eddie George is another example, but those guys aren't the norm.
machine gun kelly Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Didn't he have concussion issues in college as well? Scott, he had one from a car accident at FSU. As far as my comparison to Dickerson, I just meant his straight up style which is what I think the other post on Peterson in college was saying. KW is a long way from the either of these HOF or future HOF players. I didn't mean to say he was as good as that is premature and silly. I like him as a second RB and will compliment Shady.
Marty McFly Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 He did, but come on man! Karlos is a nice back, but ED was an all time great with electrifying speed and rare talent. Karlos still takes false steps with his change of direction. Hopefully he'll learn to make quicker cuts. Hes good but I think a good change of pace back might be the best the Bills will ever get out of him.
billsfan89 Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 He might not get the amount of carries needed to be a top fantasy numbers guy if Shady stays healthy but 7-9 TD's with 700ish yards along with 30 receptions seems like a good estimate. Health is a concern as always.

vincec Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 I'm more worried about fumbles than injuries with an upright running style. The injury concern comes from guys who try to run people over instead of avoid them. Backs who last always seem to avoid getting hit square. Guys who consistently try to plow over DLs an LBs don't usually last.

Guys who consistently try to plow over DLs an LBs don't usually last. Well last year in 104 touches between rushing and receiving, with a total of 613 yards, 7 touchdowns, 25 first downs, and an avg of 5.6 yards per rush had one fumble. That's an acceptable number as it is unrealistic to think a RB can't ever fumble.
NewEra Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Already is better then him TBH. Lol. Homerism at its finest. You are blinded by the uniform. I love Karlos, but gurley is superior

That's an acceptable number as it is unrealistic to think a RB can't ever fumble. Actually 2 fumbles, with 1 lost. But either way it's about average for a RB. I think the NFL average is somewhere around 1 fumble per 100 carries (unless you're NE of course). Key will be to see what happens when his work load increases. Edited March 5, 2016 by vincec
Kemp Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Best rookie RB of 2015, Gurley wished he could be what Karlos will become. I hope you're not saying you'd prefer him to Gurley going forward. After reading more of your posts,wow. Edited March 5, 2016 by Kemp
