LaDainian Tomlinson
Is the season he's having right now the best season for one player in NFL history? Watching him and seeing the highlights is amazing. He's my favorite (non Buckeye) player in the NFL. Hearing his interviews, he's so humble and is so knowledgeable and respectful of NFL history. Reminds me of Troy a lot when I hear him talk. What's everyone's thoughts on LT? Anyone think he may go down as the best RB in NFL history when he's done? He's just seems to get better and better with each season.

The best season in NFL history. That's a hard one. Jerry Rice - Payton-Simpson-Sanders-Theisman-Jim Brown, so many others.
He is having a great season. Is part of it that the offense is geared to him?
I don't beleive I am ready to crown him yet.
The best RB of all time? He might be closer at that one. Man how can you replace Sweetness? It is hard to let go of those who already are regarded highly. Many believe Jim Brown is the best there will ever be, and it is hard to deny that. I think for now I will stick with Payton.

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.

LT would not be the same back if he was drafted by the Browns... could he put up the same numbers if he played in cold weather, who knows? I like him and I think if he wins a SuperBowl he will be well on his way to being considered on of the better backs to play the game... I think it's too hard to compare backs from different eras but I think you could put up against backs like Marshall Faulk.

If LT had gone to the Browns we'd be comparing him to Travis Prentice, not Jim Brown.

And he wouldn't be the anchor of my fantasy team.

I disagree with that....Barry Sanders proved that great running backs can still be great players on horrible teams...
But on LT....I think its still a little early to say greatest but by the time he is done we may be talking in the terms of a Jordan type (one that changed the game) |

LT is having the best season of his career and the best season of anyone else in the NFL. Right now, he is the best player in the NFL but he is not having the best season of any player of all time. For a RB, yes he is having arguably the best season of any RB in the NFL. But the best season of all time? Perhaps Peyton Manning 2 years ago throwing 48 or whatever number it was touchdowns and breaking the record. That was a crazy season for Peyton. This is a very hard decision because there were so many outstanding players that had great seasons.
My prediction is that when LT is done playing football and is retired, he will be the best RB to ever play the game.
