I'd take grant in a heart beat over peterson. Wont get as many broken tackles or "spectacular plays" but he's consistent, runs hard and doesnt fumble. Thats more important than 6 or 7 amazing highlights per year and 30 fumbles.

Wait I thought Grant sucked and tackled himself every play? ;)

Simply put.. he isn't a overly elusive back.. but consistent and keeps the football off the ground for the most part... I think since 07 is 4th in rushing yards in the NFC..

Isn't it ironic that once the oline settled in with Tauscher and a semi healthy Clifton (for him anyway), and we started the same guys from more than a week the running game started to click... maybe Grant ate his wheaties..

It hasn't changed.. football is won and lost in the trenches.. hasn't and will not change.

Peterson's yearly fumble average of 6.6 is greater than Grant's career stat of 6 fumbles. Funny stuff.

One of the reasons the pack has done so well this year is because the lack of turnovers on our part and the amount of turnovers we have caused.

I think we have like the 2nd highest differential. Behind the saints.

I think that this has as much to do with the QB as the RBs. Grant and Peterson both really aren't such good receivers, but Peterson is getting a lot more dump-offs and makes a lot more happen. He's an open field monster. Grant is not.

Makes me wonder how many screens we've attempted with Grant, though. I'm a huge fan of the screen pass, but we seem to run it very little when anyone but Jackson is on the field. Makes it a little one-dimensional.

Im pretty dissappointed we didnt use jackson more this year - he looks like a much better runner then grant. I dont remember if he was injured earlier this year or what ... I liked his cutback in the seattle game that got him the TD. (noone was there to take him).

Factor in some negative yardage for all the fumbles, and consinder the garbage time stats Peterson racks up, and I am no longer jealous of the Vikings running back situation. Also, I don't think Peterson is an overly intelligent ball player. Last night he should have just run out of bounds after getting the first down. I think Percy Harvin's football intelligence is very high.

GB's running backs are performing at a high level for their role in this reciever dominated offense.
