I understand this is the Chiefs board but this is getting stupid LJ is a great player but Tomlinson is different there is no one like him he is HOF and one of the best ever,.

HAHAHAhahaha. Hand LT the rock 35 times a game for 4 weeks and he'd look like a broken down New Orleans street whore. LJ takes it and asks for more; that's the definition of a work horse.

He couldn't handle as many hand offs as LJ gets.
He wouldn't do as well with them if he could.
He scores a lot because of the offensive scheme he is in, congrats.
League MVP goes to the player that has helped his team the most, and that my mental giant of a friend is LJ.

If you think LJ wins MVP over LT you're high.....I'm sorry. And like I said giving the ball to your back that many times isn't something to be proud of it's proven over history it's a good way to kill your back.

LT wil not win MVP... if Manning keeps winning and takes hit team to 15-1 he will be the MVP...

You do understand Tomlinsons gonna finish the year with about 34 TD's...and 2000+ total yards, I think he gets it this year.

Then we agree that LT would fall apart if given the ball that many times. GREAT!

LJ on the other hand seems to thrive in that very situation. Great players defy those things proven by history.

Yes, everyone knows that LT is getting the bal, but that offense is diverse, and defenses simply can not afford to stack the line and ignore the threat presented by Rivers and his receivers.

Wait till next year and the year after......every back that has carried over 400 times has never been the same even the following year.

Nope just honest.....Like I said LJ is a great player but thinking he's going to get MVP over LT or something like that is insane. What the Chiefs have done this year has been great for injuries and everything and LJ is having a great year and he's a great player but Tomlinson is having an MVP year.

Not exactly true, but it is a concern. Your statement is still wrong, however.

Actually, the only exception to the rule that Mecca talks about is Eric Dickerson.

Every other back that has run the ball as much as LJ has, has declined substantially the following year, and never played at the same level.

Go look up the stats......they all substantially decline after 400 + carries.

what receivers? I keep hearing on this board that gonzalez is better than Gates, and youd take kennision over any of ours WR's. So by admitting this, Gates is defnitely better than Gonzalez, and Mccardel is better than Kennison. Tomlinson faced stacked boxes his entire career with his OL changing every year, all of a sudden it's poor LJ.

I wrote an article on it yesterday. You're wrong.
