He's automatic with or without rings. He's also first ballot. Its a no brainer. He has to stay healthy though.

Sanders may be the best pure runner, with his gravity-defying ankle-breaking moves, but LT, if he avoids injury, will be the best *running back*. He's a better blocker than Sanders and he has more receptions in 4 fewer seasons. There's more to the game than being fun to watch.

Ahhh, the guys a bum...the Spider Rico of RB's.

I stopped reading here. did you ever see him play? sure, he made a lot of freakish moves, but after one or two moves, he was GONE down the field... freakish speed plus freakish agility=Barry Sanders, the best RB of all time (put him behind the chiefs o-lines of the 90's... :sulk: )

Barry also played in a ****ed up run and shoot offense. Barry was a decent blocker. He was never one to shy away from contact. LT has been playingh on good teams. Barry played on shit teams. I think they had like 1 good year.

LT will end up with better stats, but Barry started most of his runs with five defenders in the backfield. LT hasn't had to deal with near as bad of an O-line as Barry did. I guess we'll never know for sure, but put Barry behind a passable line and I bet he kills LT's stats.

If Barry had had 1 of our great lines or the Cowgirls of the 90's lines, theres simply NO question that he would be the greatest statistical RB of All-Time.

Nobody would have had a CHANCE.

The reason this does not work is because unlike LJ he is doing it without all the carries per season.

No better

Well, after four seasons here are both runners number of carries.

LT-1363
LJ-892

:spock: LJ sat on the bench as much as he played during the first three.

Right, so he should be fresher at this point in his career than LT.

People always forget that Barry had three different Probowl Lineman in front of him at one time or another...

Isn't LJ only a year younger then LT also???
