Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Are they stupid or am I? Lynch vs Peterson

Ok, so I took a poll on nfl.com that asked who will get more rushing yards in 2007, Lynch or Peterson. I answered my answer as Marshawn Lynch and thought it was an obvious pick, but to my surprise, about 60% of the fans said Peterson would get more yards. This angered me and I started to think how stupid these people are. My reasons for Lynch getting more yards is simple, he is playing in a run first offense with an improved o-line, and he is without a doubt the featured back. Peterson has those features as well, but he is splitting carries with Chester Taylor, who had over 1200 yards last season.
