[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 613449, member: 9033"] Vikings are better on the Dline, linebacker, DBs, RB (sorry, Lacy is REALLY good but c'mon, he's not Peterson!) and TE. Packers are better at QB, WR and Oline. Luckily, QB is the most important position so that's the biggest difference. Trading a player isn't the way to determine who's better. Of course the Packers wouldn't trade for a $12m/yr, 30-year old RB. That would be stupid on a team that's driven by the passing game. But the last time Peterson played a full season he averaged 4.5 yards per carry when the entire point of the defense was to stop Peterson. Lacy averaged 4.6 yards per carry last season when defenses were geared to stop Rodgers. Lacy is really good and I don't want anyone to think I'm trying to say Lacy isn't a very good running back. But Peterson is one of the best runners of all time and I'm not willing to say a third year RB has passed him until I actually see Peterson start to fall apart on the field. Yes, 30 years old tends to be an age where running backs begin to decline but it's not like they forget to run. People have blown this 30 year old age limit thing completely out of proportion. You don't give huge contracts to 30 year old running backs but they can still run really well.[B] Frank Gore was 31 [/B]last season and he averaged 4.3 yards per carry for 1,106 yards on a TERRIBLE team last season. Do people think Peterson is worse than Gore? [/QUOTE]
