Chris Johnson was unanimous selection which you will get no argument from me about. My argument is for the 2nd RB. Adrian Peterson is a great running back hands down. But i think more deserving of this 2nd slot is Ray Rice in Baltimore. This is why:
ReplyDelete-Ray Rice averaged 5.3 yards per carry to Adrian Petersons 4.4
-Ray Rice combined for 2041 yards from scrimmage. Peterson only had 1819.
-Peterson had 7 fumbles to Ray Rices 3
-Ray Rice was the reason the Ravens made the Playoffs. Favre is the reason the Vikings did.
-Ray Rice averaged 6.8 yards a carry on third downs to Petersons 3.3
-Rice in big games like Pittsburgh totaled 310 yards from scrimmage. He also had 194 yards from scrimmage against Minnesota, including 2 touchdowns. Peterson had 166 with no touchdowns
The Vikings collectively scored 53 touchdowns this season to the Ravens 43. So when Ray Rice is in a less productive offense and putting up better numbers in all categories except touchdowns, it isn't so much the player as it is the team.
They both are fantastic, and had great years. But I'm going with my guns here saying Ray Rice was snubbed from the AP All-Pro team
