Yes, the Vikings RB. The same one who just blew out his ACL on Dec 24, started his rehab this week with a brace on.

I would say that is a guy to watch as his explosiveness and hard running are everything to his game as well. Similar to Rose, a player at an elite level in his sport.

Just under 6 months he is back.

They showed him running, but it was very noticeable of him limping when running, but he says he predicts to be playing opening day in Sept.

Exactly, now go explain it to Douchebag. Who is really dragging down the crew since I left.

Come on... Rose tore two ligaments. Basketball players do use their knees far more to jump and play defense. 82 games opposed to to 16.

Accept that it will never ever be the same with Derrick.

Plus you know he'll try to come back earlier and likely not be ready. Rose at 90% is still a great player but I'm not sure about super star.

Hey Db, listen to the latest interview with Rose when he talks about his trainer telling him to keep watching Adrian Peterson's return date and use that as a gauge.

Have you figured out the point yet?

That's not taking into account players don't usually peak in their first four seasons. He's already improved his 3 point shooting and defense significantly and I expect that to continue. He's strong enough to add a post game and keep improving his mid range shot. Im not worried about him. By 2014 he should be fine.

I think he'll be fine in 2014 but he'll be missing a step or 2. That's what made him special. Adding a better jump shot would keep him in the team photo for best PG's in the game but I doubt he'll be #1 again.

Rose will be fine. Tim Hardaway had the same injury, and the only lingering side-effect was an immense hatred of homosexuals.

AP looks fantastic so far doesn't he biggie?

I'm always amazed that pro football players don't tear an ACL on nearly ever play...getting tackled by the legs from every angle. What do they do, flexibilty training? Work the incidental muscles that support the joint rather than just the big muscles that power movement? I know some people have said that Rose's ACL tear had nothing to do with his other injuries, but you can't tell me that atrophy, stiffness, muscle fatigue, altered gait due to pain, etc had zero contribution.

Peterson says he is ready to play by week 1 and good to go. Would you take him with a first round pick in fantasy football?

If your point was that Rose won't have the same endurance, strength, and explosiveness on his first day he steps back on to a practice court, then I would agree with you. I don't think anyone would argue against that. Peterson has just started his recovery. It's going to be weeks before he gets that strength back.

Peterson HOPING for Week 1 to be ready. 10 Months. Rose maybe playing last month of the season. #2014 Bulls. SHABAZZ Bynum Unrestricted, we have a great history of getting players to leave LA and come to Chicago. D Rose does it every summer!

I agree Hov... Before the injury he could get 25/8 in his sleep. Now he'll have to gut out 20pts, but prolly more assists.

Post subject:	Re: Adrian Peterson
Hardaway???? The Peterson v Rose comparison is based on 2 athletes who use elite explosive moves to be better than everyone else. If you can't see a similar level of athletic style and relative ability between the 2 players, then feel free to bow out of any further discussions regarding athletic ability of any athlete. You have the 2 most explosive players in their respective sports. 2 Players that go from 0-60, maybe faster than any other players and do it with power and force. While DB can continue to tell me he doesnt understand the post, he fails to recognize the FACT that Rose's trainers told him to keep an eye on Peterson???? I guess they dont know shit either?

I have that trouble with most of your threads. Peterson says he will be ready for opening day. That's about 8 and a half months after the injury. He's practicing with pads right now, so an opening day return is not out of the question. He's scheduled to start taking contact drills next week.

Rose can't be the same player. The majority of his game was superior speed and jumping ability relative to other players in tandem with a general wrecklessness attacking the bigs. I have trouble believing he will have nearly the same level of speed and vertical as he did. And even if he does, will he have the same willingness to constantly attack the rim and take a pounding. And if those three things all happen (speed, vertical, and aggressiveness), will his body hold up? No way.

Post subject:	Re: Adrian Peterson
I forget what I was watching, but when talking about Adrian Peterson they mentioned that the results for returning to full strength for someone his age weren't good but it was for players that had the same thing who were 25 and under. Rose has a much better chance than Peterson at making a full recovery simply on age alone. Jamaal Charles is probably a better comparison than Peterson.

Post subject:	Re: Adrian Peterson
I think he can recover, but I just question whether he will have that level of speed and vertical. It seems improbable. He was so much better than every else in that category. If his game was strength, rebounding, jump shooting, etc, I would have much less doubt. The vast majority of his game was breaking down a defense by splitting two or three huge defenders and then either finishing or dishing. I don't see it.....

Hardaway didn't have the burst of quickness that D Rose has. He was quick, but not at that level. Rose had the patella tendon graft as opposed to the cadaver ACL replacement or the hamstring/achilles graft. I'm not sure what AP had but with the patella graft, if he is diligent with his therapy, and hell, he's an elite professional athlete, he should be close to 100% by April, possibly mid March. His issues are going to be mental, trusting his knee to make cuts he used to. That will likely not happen until the following season. For a reference, I had my ACL repaired in December with the same patella graft surgery. I am nowhere near an athlete, middle aged, tore the ligament 19 years ago. I was very dedicated to my therapy and was cleared to begin golfing in April and was cleared for basketball in early July. D Rose should have no physical issues to returning next season.
