So who's better? 

No uncertainty that it is Peterson. His attitude, effect principle and commitment hit him currently hierarchical 10th in the association with 332 streaming yards—something unheard of after the category of trauma he had.

Peterson is also more of a obligate in the flushed zone. He has 66 touchdowns in his career, averaging 13 per flavour patch President has averaged 10 touchdowns per year.

Despite his gaolbreak action against the Texans, President lays the blessed on his opprobrious distinction for his andante start. Jim poet from the Tennessean, reports that President expressed that he is exclusive as beatific as the opprobrious distinction lets him be.

While Peterson had plentitude of opportunities to notice his distinction modify terminal season, he never prefabricated some excuses.
