One thing I'm wondering is if he gets so close to Dickerson's record, they'll probably have him run it every down. We're gonna be out of playoff contention soon anyway so why not.

yeah i switched it back after i googled the record. I seriously think ap is better than jamal lewis who got to that though.

2,004 and assuming he accomplishes this feat, the MVP to boot.

I gotta say I always loved AP, and I'd love to see it. I'll stick with my 1850 because its a tight race right now and I think teams will be gunning bigtime to shut him down and not be in a trivia question twenty years from now.

I can't believe Chris Johnson got over 2,000. That guy goes down when he gets touched. So many system backs nowadays. AP just keeps going no matter what his blocking is like or how many guys he sees in the box.

I honestly hope christian ponder does awful enough that we are forced to put in webb. I know bill musgrave will never do it, but some redskins inspired gimmick offense with webb, harvin(who would be healthy miraculously again)and AP would be awesome.

AP has more average yards per carry than ponder does passing.

I can't believe how he free falled the following year. Hes not even a poor mans Barry Sanders so it is perplexing.

Chris Johnson has a lot of runs for long amounts of yards at a time. He reminds me more of a Barry Sanders type back and A.P. more of a Walter Petting.
