The best Back/player in the NFL!

And this LT is not drug induced like the old one in NY

.... and the talk will start again on whether or not Peyton Manning is highly overrated.

Manning is not the problem and he is not overrated. Dan Marino never won the big game, either.

Manning did, however, look awful today.

I don't think Peyton looked all that bad today...there was an interception...things around him weren't too pretty though. How much of that was him vs. others (I lost count on cleanly dropped passes)...who knows; it's a team game.

When you give up 375 yards on the ground.....i don't care who the QB is...you're not winning many games!!!

And the QB can't do it himself.......What hurt Marino was he never had a running game and everydown was a pass unlike Manning(James for years & Addai isn't half bad)!!!

Manning is the best QB in the NFL. A few bad games and everyone is talking like he's a pretender. You can't win a game if you don't have a defense no matter who you are. Yes...he did kinda bad today, but the fact of the matter is if he doesn't throw at least 3 touchdowns everyone is on his case. He may one day win a Super Bowl. He's already won MVP and taken his team to playoffs countless times. If and when he does get that Super Bowl, people may start talking about him being the best in the history of football. Before then, though, he has to have a defense to help him like Tom Brady, Ben Roethlesberger, and many other QB's did.

Ummm...what's a "defense"?

A group of 11 players that can stop the dang run! lol

I don't care who you are, you gotta admit that LT is a monster. He just tied the most amounts of TD in a season.

And the guy leading my fantasy league got him in a trade.

LaDainian Tomlinson

for

Rex Grossman
Randy Moss
Willis McGahee

We should have called the cops.

Talk about a steal.

Needless to say, the guy that has LT is in first, the guy that traded him away is in last.

That guy deserves it. The only time you don't have LT on your fantasy team is if he gets lost for the season.

Yes, he sure is!! Congrats to LT. Classy player.

I saw him on Leno's show last week, seems like a really nice guy. Not like a lot of big-time athletes these days. One thing I didn't like about him, he kept saying "to make a long story short." I hate that expression.

Using that phrase is a sign of nervousness. He's uncomfortable talking to the camera, to the media. Another reason to like him...he's not a self-promotor.

I think LT is great. He's not like Terrell Owens(complete and utter idiot), Chad Johnson(can be ok "sometimes", usually not), Warren Sapp(idiot), Randy Moss(just don't understand him sometimes) or any of those other classless players. He's the best RB possibly ever and he doesn't showboat about it. He's in the same class as Manning, Harrison, and Brady.

When you talk about running backs, there's Jimmy Brown and then there's everyone else.

Actually there was a poll on ESPN.com this week. Last time I looked the results were like this...

Who is the best RB in the history of the NFL?

38% Barry Sanders
23% Walter Payton
18% Ladanian Tomlinson
13% Jim Brown
8% Emmit Smith

I'll admit, I never saw Jim Brown play... But he is the 'gold standard' of running backs.

And as good as LT is, he's not near as fun to watch as Barry or Walter were. Barry, playing for horrendous Lions teams, would go backwards 20 yards, then make everyone miss, and break an 80-yarder...

Walter was just smooth. His running looked effortless.

While LT will probably go down as either the best, or second to Brown, I would put him 4th behind those others...

[LIPH]

And you have to remember when comparing stats, Brown retired when he was 29 years old. He only played 9 seasons, 4 of them when the NFL schedule was only 12 games, the other 5 when it was 14 games, not 16 like it is today. He averaged over 100 yds./game, something none of the other top backs did, and more than 5 yds/carry. I think Sanders' average was right around 5 yds./carry but it was less than Brown's and the rest of them are all around 4.5 yds./carry.

I think the J'ville RBs averaged 13 yards/carry against the Colts yesterday.... (seriously)

On LT, after he broke the single season TD record yesterday he included all the offensive players around in the celebration. And when he talked to the press, he said something about "the record we broke". Classy guy and congrats to LT. And his history isn't over yet....

That's the problem with asking people to vote for these things.... They may leave out people who are most deserving. Remember the All Century Team for baseball?

LT is presently the best NFL player....as the greateast........he needs the rings and to set the rushing records!!.......Sorta like Marino!!!

Thought about getting him. Luckily I don't play the team that does for the rest of the year.

Colston is the latest in a long line of great wide recievers from that well known football factory, Hofstra University. There's Wayne Chrebet, Colston and ... well, that's about it.

So.. Marino has rushing records and rings?

[spendingmoney]

Hester does it again...twice!! Too bad he wasn't returning kick-offs all year

Too bad on Tommie though. The doctors couldn't even find any cases of the injury, a ruptured hamstring, in the past so they have no real time table of when he'll be back

did i say that......not the point i was making.....But Marino has all the passing records......and probably was the greatest passer in the history of football...but people say hasn't won anything!!..So he doesn't get the respect from some!!
