It will probably be broken someday, but Peterson won't be the one to do it. Through the first 6 years of AP's career, he's averaging about the same number of yards per season as Smith, but what made Smith's career so special was the longevity of it and the consistency with which he churned out 1000 yard seasons. What makes him breaking the record even more unlikely is the fact that today's NFL is more pass happy. AP is a great back, but not better than Emmitt Smith.
