[QUOTE="porky88, post: 141104, member: 489"] Peterson is bigger and faster. Peterson stands at about 6’1’ 218 and he ran the 40 yard dash in 4.38 seconds. Lynch is 5’11” 215 and runs a 4.45 40 yard dash. That is a very big difference in the 40. So Peterson is quicker and bigger than Lynch. That’s a definite plus for him. Obviously shown by these numbers he has tremendous breakaway speed. Peterson runs harder than Lynch. He‘s much more powerful. His combination of size and speed matches that of any prospect to possibly come out this decade. At least that I can think of off the top of my head. Peterson really isn’t injury prone as most think. He‘s not say Fred Taylor. It’s his style that gets him hurt. If you watch him play or look at the way he got hurt, you’ll see that he just uses his combination of speed and power against defenders. He really puts himself out there because of that and he does run high so he’ll take a few hits too. With that said I wouldn’t count that as big negative. Some of his critics put to much emphasis on that in my opinion but it’s certainly something that is worth noting. Peterson shows better patience. He’ll wait for the hole to open up if he has to and he has a quick burst when he hit’s the hole. His one drawback was his receiving and at the Oklahoma pro day he looked as good as any receiver out there. He has good hands which is important. So he could be a very dangerous weapon in the flats as well. Based on all of this Peterson has a lot of upside and more than Lynch in a lot of people’s minds including mine. As for Lynch. He is a better receiver that Peterson. While Peterson is a good receiver, Lynch is a great receiver. He runs good routes. He has soft hands and he’s quick after he makes the catch. One thing Lynch has over Peterson is intangibles. That’s something that you can’t really teach. That’s what A.J. Hawk was praised for a year ago. I think both can be Pro Bowl level players but I probably wouldn’t put Lynch in the class that I’d put Peterson in. I think you can put Peterson in the class or a Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams when they came out. Both top 5 picks. Where as Lynch would probably fit more into the class of Laurence Maroney and DeAngelo Williams when they came out. Both mid to late 1st round picks. [/QUOTE]
