LT is the best RB in the NFL, is he the best ever?

[jimmifli]

He's the best right now, he's the best since Barry Sanders. He'll he's better than Sanders. What does he need to do to be considered the best back of all time?

And to keep this on topic how the hell do we stop him?

Stop him?

I suggest a kidnapping.

To be the best of all time he needs to keep doing what he is doing now for at least a few more years. Even then passing Jim Brown and Walter Payton will be difficult.

Re: LT is the best RB in the NFL, is he the best ever?

the TD record is it for overall TDs or just rushing and recieving cas he does have 2 passing TDs this season or maybe 3? it cant include passing though cas well i am confused the record that Alexander broke was it recieving and rushing or just rushing or overall TDs for a nonQB?

I've never said that Losman is better than Marino and Elway....To be honest with you i'd be the first person to tell you that hes not better.

LT is already outscoring him. The Chargers have been bad for a lot of his career, maybe not as bad as the Lions were, but a fair amount of that is due to LT's dominance.

Sander's YPC is unreal but it didn't result in a lot of TD's (lots compared to mortals, but not compared to LT).

If I had to take one, I'd pick LT.

LT is more versatile... his recieving stats are better in 6 seasons than Sanders were in 10. Barry had the most pure skill of a RB I've ever seen though.

No doubt. If the question was "who is your favorite RB to watch?", Sanders would win hands down.
