Interesting read, especially for number junkies. Worth going back to read the first two articles as well.

I'm going to guess based on the title and your post, that this is an article by Arif Hasan.

Why do you say that? It's by Brad Davis, FYI.Mothman wrote:

That said, Peterson is so unique in so many ways that anything could happen. Whatever it is, I'll believe it when I see it.

But it was introduced by by Arif so I wasn't completely off target.frosted wrote:Why do you say that? It's by Brad Davis, FYI.
I made the comment because Arif Hasan seems very into analytics. He seems to have a great deal of faith in, and enthusiasm for, deep statistical analysis so I simply thought it was a good guess. I was just having some fun.
The conclusions they arrived at were pretty interesting.

Ahh gotcha, it was a decent read, though I won't claim to have read the whole thing, at a certain point, analytics/advanced statistics just start to look like Mandarin to me. Hahaha.Mothman wrote: But it was introduced by by Arif so I wasn't completely off target.

I think if he realizes he can't run like he does past a certain point (wherever that is for him), he could easily change his body and running style and still be very productive well into his 30s.

I doubt many running backs are capable of changing their running style.Demi wrote:I think if he realizes he can't run like he does past a certain point (wherever that is for him), he could easily change his body and running style and still be very productive well into his 30s.
