It's pretty indisputable that AP is the best RB in the NFL and has been since he entered the league. He plays on a team with a subpar O-Line and a mediocre QB and still leads them to victory. He isn't in the same ballpark as Barry Sanders yet, but if he keeps doing what he has been doing for the next 3 or 4 years, he will probably make sure that there is an argument for him being the greatest of all time.

I think you guys are drinking a bit too much kool-aid. I like Adam Taylor a lot, but comparing him to Adrian Peterson, the guy who may become the best running back history, is crazy. Taylor has neither the power, speed, or agility of AP. Not even close. He looks like a great player, but he's no Peterson.

the high school program I played at, we ran out of the maryland I 90% of the time. We maybe threw it (or tried) 5 times a game. Our line good size for C-1. We just pounded on people. We had a tremendous athlete at QB and all-stater at G. We did a lot of things that got that qb out in space behind that G. Now over that last couple year, the coach there has really modernized the offense. Spread concepts, lots of shotgun, but still predicated to the run.

I think this advancement is critical for the training of possible future Huskers. Under Osborne, what kind of offense were mostly used in high school? Run/option offenses. Our high school programs need to get on the same page as our College program, and vice versa, our college program has to continue to engrain the connection to the high schools. Benefits will not be immediate, but as said with more 2014 prospects from Nebraska, by then that will be 6 years down the road, we may be starting to see these benefits.
