That said, I think that single run will have more of an impact on his chances at the Hall of Fame than it probably should. He singlehandedly vaulted himself up a few notches with that run.

Then again it's a poll so people can annoint whoever they want as a power runner I guess.

Well done sir.

Peterson is a destroyer, i'll agree with you there, but he is more of a complete back as opposed to just a power back. Peterson has power to run through arm tackles with the occasional defender, but the real reason he kills defenses is because of his speed and agility. He runs past folk as if almost they are standing still. He also is shifty enough to put the moves on you and make a defender whiff on what should have been a sure tackle. Lynch on the other hand runs over, around and through people like a man amongst boys. Seeing people bounce off of him was once a marvel to see. Now, while still amazing, its almost expected of him as we've seen it soo many times. I can't remember how many times I've seen him get hit in the backfield because of poor o-line play, but still manage to pull out 2 or 3 positive yards on what should have been a dead play.
That (imo) is the definition of a power back. Peterson hands down is the more complete back who currently is in his own stratosphere. Lynch is more of a power back than he, which is what I think that ranking is trying to reflect.
