Answer 1

rob is an idiot.

LT is amazing.Tomlinson was selected in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft with the fifth overall pick. The Chargers had the 1st pick in the draft that year but anticipated that they would be unable to sign the player who now earns the highest salary in NFL history Michael Vick, who was perceived as the best player in the year's draft class. Instead, they traded their number one pick to the Atlanta Falcons, for which they received the number five pick and other considerations. In this way, Tomlinson and Vick are linked as having been "traded" for each other, although the transaction was actually the result of traded draft picks and contract negotiations. Tomlinson immediately became the starting running back with the Chargers and has started all but one game since. He has achieved immediate success in the NFL, rushing for over 1,200 yards and making over 50 receptions in each of his six seasons. He has also proven to be effective as a passer, having completed seven career passes, six of them for touchdowns and a career passer rating of 152.1. In 2003, he became the first player in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards and record 100 receptions in the same season. He also reached his 50th career touchdown in his 4th season (60th game) and was elected to the Pro Bowl team in 2002, 2004, and 2005. Tomlinson also tied Lenny Moore's all-time record for consecutive games scoring a TD (18). On October 16, 2005, in the Chargers' victory over the Oakland Raiders, LaDainian Tomlinson became the 7th player in NFL history to run, catch, and throw for a touchdown in the same game. Despite breaking his ribs towards the end of the 2005 season, LaDainian continued to play and finished the season with 1,462 rushing yards, 370 receiving yards, and a career high 23 touchdowns (running for 18, catching 2 and throwing 3). In 2005 he was nominated for the FedEx Ground Player of the Year Award. Tomlinson placed third behind Tiki Barber and Shaun Alexander. In the 2006 season, he set an NFL record by scoring 19 touchdowns in a span of 6 games, including a franchise record 4 touchdowns in games against the San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals and the Denver Broncos. He is the first to score three TDs in three straight games, and the first to have three games of four or more TDs in one season. He became the fastest player ever to score 100 touchdowns. On November 19, 2006, Tomlinson accomplished the milestone in 89 games with 102, beating the previous record of 93 games held by Jim Brown and Emmitt Smith. On December 3, Tomlinson became only the second running back (Eric Dickerson was the other) to rush for at least 1,200 yards in his first six NFL seasons. On December 7, he was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month.As of December 10, Tomlinson has 2,077 all-purpose (combined rushing, receiving, and passing) yards and 31 touchdowns (26 rushing, 3 receiving, and 2 passing). On December 10, he broke Shaun Alexander's 2005 record of 28 touchdowns in a season by scoring his 29th touchdown against the Denver Broncos in just 13 games (Alexander set the record in 16).His 2 touchdown passes do not count toward this record because the NFL treats them in a separate category (for which Peyton Manning holds the record with 49 in a season). With the first touchdown against Kansas City on December 17th, he surpassed Paul Hornung's record of 176 points for the Green Bay Packers in 1960, for most points in a season by an NFL player; one which had stood for some 40 years.

Answer 2

Obviously it's too early for the ALL TIME talk, although I agree he's definitely the best today and will probably be among the top 3-4 by the time he's done (maybe even #1, but that remains to be seen)

There are many running backs who were equally dominant for 4-5 years then dropped from radar due to injury/retirement. Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes, Eric Dickerson, Terrell Davis, Bo Jackson, Earl Campbell...

Then we have the gridiron legends who were so consistently great for so many years- Tony Dorsett, OJ Simpson, Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, Marcus Allen (who know what his numbers could have been)

Barry Sanders and Gayle Sayers- almost belong in a category by themselves, equally amazing but from two different eras. But the main man, the most dominant by far was Jim Brown.

So LT has a ways to go to surpass the all-time greats...

Answer 3

In Revelation, Babylon is a symbol for Rome. It's a lot easier to badmouth the oppressive empire from hundreds of years ago than to badmouth the current oppressive empire openly. It was called a whore because under the Emperors of that time, prostitution was prevelent and frequently non-optional. They even had a brothel were the Emperor (either Caligula or Nero) forced family members of Senators and other government officials to be prostitutes. Like his own little collection of hostages whom he could also pimp out and have sex with.

Answer 4

Tomlinson may very well be the greatest of all time . He was one of the best RB's last year and he even had a groin injury for most of the season. This year he's healthy and he's just running through all the other teams. He also has a good offensive line.

Answer 5

I'd put him right behind Walter Payton for best running back of all time..

1- Walter Payton
2- Ladanian Tomlinson
3- Barry Sanders
4- Jim Brown
5- Emmit Smith
6- Jamal Anderson
7- Terrell Davis
8- Ricky Williams
9- Gayle Sayers
10- Larry Johnson

O.J is maybe number 20. Happy?

Answer 6

I am a huge LT fan but as a student of the game I have to say that he is not better than Jim Brown.

Answer 7

Sorry, crack head LT is a better player though that's besides the point anyway.

Answer 8

If he avoids injury and wins a super bowl than yes he will likely be considered the best.

Answer 9

Lawrence Taylor was an awesome running back! There was a special on Dateline or 60 minutes a while back. It was a good show, he discussed his life as a pro football player vs. after football career.

Answer 10

yes
