I didn't get past page 3, but a lot of you are friggin' idiots! LJ a lock for MVP!? Uh, no friggin' way. I love LJ, he's awesome...my man crush...but LT is easily the MVP right now, and he's EASILY better than LJ...he's more complete. LJ might be a better runner, but he certainly can't catch the ball like LT, not even close.

Last year, I'd definitely give LJ the nod over LT...but this year, LT is smoking the competition and it isn't even close.

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,.

All that hype is a product of ESPN sucking LTs dick... LJ is a better running back than LT, hands down. We'll see where LTs stats are after this year and compare LJs after the same amount of years starting and we'll see then.

lmfao...

LT can run, throw, and catch and he has a better nose for the end zone than LJ...

LJ is easily #2, but LT is far and away #1, as far as this year is concerned.

Jesus people...I can't believe this thread.

No, some of that hype is a product of a guy who had produced at a high level since the day he came into the league, in spite of the fact that he had no support for a a couple years.

The bottom line is the title of this thread

stevieray · 11-26-2006, 11:17 PM

The fact that some are comparing a player with 20 NFL games to a highly successful back tells me how great LJ is truly going to be.

Tomlinson is the only RB in the league I'd rather have than LJ.

I really don't think there are that many Chiefs fans kicking themselves over the fact that they have LJ and not LT. We're not jealous. In fact, I hope LT has the greatest season of all time just so Marty's inevitable collapse will be even funnier.

what hype...

-Tomlinson holds the all-time NFL record for most consecutive games with a rushing touchdown.

-shares the record for most consecutive games with a touchdown score (of any variety) with Hall of Fame fullback Lenny Moore.

-has an NFL record 80 touchdowns in his first five seasons.

In 2006, Tomlinson tied Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith in second place for the fewest games needed to reach 90 touchdowns (both are second to Hall of Famer Jim Brown). Tomlinson holds the record for fastest to 100 TDs, earned on November 19 against the Broncos, in 89 games, which improved upon the earlier record which was tied at 93 games by Emmitt Smith and Jim Brown.

On November 19, 2006, he became the fastest player to reach 100 touchdowns, with his 100th career touchdown (90 rushing, 10 receiving) in his 89th game (breaking the previous record of achieving this mark in the 93rd game held by both Jim Brown and Emmitt Smith).
Tomlinson has been involved in more touchdown plays than any active NFL running back since 2001 (5 passing, 91 rushing, and 11 receiving).

-Tomlinson has had more receptions than any other active running back since 2001.

On November 26, 2006, in a Chargers' comeback win over the Oakland Raiders, LaDainian Tomlinson broke His own record for most touchdowns scored in a five game span (15) with 16 TDs.

* has the highest career QB rating in history.

blame ESPN

Right now? LT is the better all around player, and imo, LJ is the better rusher. When it's all said and done, i have no doubts that LJ will end up better

Really?!?! I head that in 2006, LT became the fastest player to get 100 TDs! Previous record was 93, set by Jim Brown and Emmitt Smith!!!
