Am I missing something...I thought Danz has been super positive about Favre since week 3 or 4 or whatever. No? (I personally am a long-time Favre fan, followed him for 8 yrs with Pack then suffered thru the Jets year, then Minn.) Funny thing about Danz is he had a pretty big audience during the late summer when he was a Favre Hater and he lost alot of people (including me). I think that was a real shame because Danz is a very entertaining (and perceptive writer). And funny. And give him credit for making that turnaround on Favre.

His running style is to carry the ball like a loaf of bread - sure, Walter Payton did it, but AD is no Walter Payton. Not likely AD re-learns how to carry the ball with 2 hands and is still the running back some think he has potential to be.

He obviously can't be trusted with a pass. But Peterson is the best decoy in the NFL often drawing 8 and even 9 in the box. The Vikings need him to take the pressure off Favre. But they must disguise run versus pass better than they did against the Cards and Panthers. Peterson just needs schooling to carry the ball with two hands and go down if in the grasp.
