I hope the viqueen trade him to a contender. This team is headed down, with aging players and no quarterback. Congratulations mr Peterson.

Well deserved, AD!!! Something to build on for next year, to again silence the Viking naysayers, and continue building your legacy as the best of your generation. SKOL!!!!!!!!

Simply put he is a warrior that makes his whole team better. Congrats to Adrian!

When you are the most talented and the hardest working player in the league, you get the MVP. Nice work Adrian Peterson.

AP is a different breed. For him, the MVP award isn't the summit. It's a pit stop to becoming one of the NFL's best ever players. That was his stated goal when he came into the league. Congrats, #28. You earned it.

AP also wins Fantasy FB player of the year!

Thought when he was announced as the Offensive Player of the Year that the MVP would going to Peyton Manning. Congrats, AP!

After week #5 he held the NFL world in his grasp and never let it go. Peyton may have had a "Normal" production year after having last year off but AP had the leagues eyes on him for multiple reasons. His comeback, the rushing record which took it to the last play of the last game of the season. We were all mesmerized by his play. Congrats to All Day...

AP Thank you for an incredible year. If the Vikings had a decent coach you would of made 2500 yards this year.... Frazier and Musgrave should go.... Congrats AP well deserved....
