Who Is The Best Running Back So Far In The NFL?

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

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.
I totally agree! Adrian Peterson ALL THE WAY! :)
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
in the NFL right now its LT and a suprisingly close second is AP

but all time my list goes

#1 barry sanders

#2 jim brown

#3 earl campbell

#4 walter payton

#5 LT/marshall faulk
I wouldn't call a rookie the best RB in the NFL...but I think he has Rookie of the Year wrapped up...
Agree he's the one ?
ADRIAN PETERSON

hes got the rookie of the year locked up
You are freaking nuts. there is no way you can call a rookie the best ever. When he comes close to Barry Sanders in, let's say, TEN YEARS from now you, then, will be allowed to ask that question.
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.
i think so too.
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.
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.
Adrian Peterson -- Broke an all time NFL record yesterday. And he's only a rookie!
Brian Westbrook. The man is carrying the Eagles.
I would say that he is CURRENTLY the best in the NFL.

Let's see what he does down the road aways before you start shining up the bust for Canton!
