Well, I can't say Tomlinson is the best back yet... although it is impressive that he's already in that conversation. Honestly, even before this year it was impressive how good he actually is. Living in southern Cali, we have one pro football team and that would be the Chargers, and he was impressive even when the team wasn't.
This year, however, is just amazing. He's carried that team through quite a few victories doing everything he had to, down to passing. To me that's the more impressive thing, is what he does when it's all on the line.
One thing to remember though, Lorenzo Neal, that guy is a freak of nature. Possibly the best FB in the game.

Their rushing numbers are comparable, but Barry Sanders wasn't as good a reciever and didn't score TD's at the clip LT has so far.
Barry Sanders after 6 seasons...
8672 YR, 4.8 YPC, 68 TD
LT in sixth season (1 game to go)...
9110 YR, 4.5 YPC 111 TD
Barry was a GREAT back, but LT is actually ahead of him at this point in his career.

LT certainly has all of the tools to be one of the all-time greats, but he still has a ways to go. I love how tough he plays, and the cuts that he makes are ridiculous. Against KC he faked outside, and cut on his inside foot almost seamlessly.
But the thing is, is he really as humble as everyone says he is? I mean i'm sure he's a nice guy, but everyone makes him out to be a saint. I'll admit that I don't watch him talk a lot except from sportscenter stuff, but I was just wondering.

Meh, in interviews he's always "we" versus "I" and we went out to a raiders game early last year and he was out there signing jerseys and seemed really cool, no idea how he is when no one is around but everyone I have known to encounter him says he's really "friendly and/or polite." |

NFBuck, good point on LT's productivity and versatility.
Though, in Sander's defense, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt of being by far the best play | |
