No way. Lynch was the best RB on the planet in 2013 as well. Marshawn had more total yards (1,573 vs. Peterson's 1437). And Marshawn had more TDs (14 vs. Peterson's 11).
Of course, Marshawn had way, way more broken tackles: Marshawn was #1, while Peterson was #4 in broken tackles per carry.

I like how you use total yards because with rushing yards AP beat Lynch in 2 less games and less carries :lol:

Yeah, because Lynch had much more of an impact as a receiver than Peterson and way more broken tackles per carry. Both are great players, but I gave the edge to Lynch after the 2013 season for those reasons.

When AP had Favre he had 436 yards receiving so QB does play some part in it. Also scheme. Vikings dont really use AP in the passing game for whatever reason lately. I assume with Turner there he will see alot more chances for catching.
Regardless the fact people are sleeping on AP is hilarious to me. Dude is perhaps one of the best pure RB in the entire history of the NFL and has had shit for QB all but one year basically.
We will see what happens this year but assuming he plays all 16 games i would be SHOCKED if AP doesnt lead the league in rushing. He might be 30 but AP is not an ordinary RB and has had a whole year to workout, rest and get healthy again. Lynch is only a few carries behind AP and has had continuing back problems the last couple years. I wouldnt be suprised if we use him less this year in the regular season and then heavy load in the playoffs
