Let's talk: Rod Woodsons ACL vs. Adrian Peterson's ACL/MCL

[MegaTronBomb!]

AD is having the GOAT rushing season by all means.... but is that more epic than Barry Sanders making Rod's ACL burst into flames in the preseason, and him coming back to play in the Super Bowl?


obviously they didn't have the medical technology or know how in 95-96 to compare to 2012... but still, who has the better regenerative skills?

Where is Rod these days anyway? He was an OG NFL Network host.

No doubt Rod Woodsons same year comeback was remarkable. But Adrian Peterson is havin an unbelievable comback season! There has never been a player to tear his acl/mcl to come back the very next season to put up the type of rushing numbers AP has and be on the brink of breaking season single records.

Adrian Peterson is a genetic freak and his work ethic is phenomenal. You have to take in to account the ferocity in which he runs. He not only runs violently, but he is a homerun type of runner also. AP came back and didn't miss a beat.

is that what they call HGH or steroids now?

 

[Lakers Offseason]

Were they using HGH back when Woodson was playing?

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Were they using HGH back when Woodson was playing?

Thats been a sports drug since the 60's

I remember Rod coming back for the SB that year. Early on he made a play on Irvin then pointed at his knee like

Adrian Peterson's ACL/MCL tear/redemption season this year>Gale Sayers ACL/MCL tear/redemption season in 1969>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jerry Rice tearing his ACL/MCL in the 1997 season opener and coming back to play with 2 games left and catching a TD (before breaking his knee cap)>>>>>>>>>> Rod Woodson tearing his ACL in the season opener in 1995 and coming back to play in the Super Bowl

it's just like talking about Tommy John surgery..take that fakkit shyt to another thread.

if you think that medical knowledge and treatment to repair torn knee ligaments hasn't improved in nearly 20 years...you're dumb as fukk.

I thought we lost him


Easily AD. AD's put on an all time great SEASON regardless of the injury backdrop; how memorable would Rod's performance be without the injury?
