NO. He is a great back, but will never be better than Sanders, Peyton, or Brown.

NO, not even close. He is a very good player, I'm not gonna lie, but he will never be the best running back ever.
I feel the need to throw in another name, Tiki Barber. Tiki Barber had a very good career. That man would run circles around Tomlinson. Tiki was much smaller than Tomlinson, but he had the ability to make people miss. Tomlinson just doesn't go down easily. He also carries the ball way too much. If the Chargers keep pushing him like they have been doing, then his career will be over very soon.

No, I don't think there is a legit person who you can call the best. Barry Sanders was the best pure runner, and played behind a lackluster offensive line, and the opposing defense always stacked the box with eight guys. Walter Peyton also played on a mediocre offense. OJ is one of the best ever, yet his career will be overlooked by his murder trial. What about Jim Brown? I think LT is the best in the league, but he also benefits from favorable playcalling. It is impossible to say one of these guys is better than any other, since they all played for different teams in different eras.

He definately has a shot. He needs to stay healthy and continue to work hard but if he does he'll definately be in the top 5 ever. Its hard to compare eras ala Brown v. Payton v. Sanders but he is the best back in the game right now for sure.

No, and he touches the ball too many time a game every game. Most likely, he won't have a long career. One of the best, but the best. He also gets so much attention now and will be stopped more since defenses will focus their games around him.

NO
You must be young.
Jim Brown.
Then Gayle Sayers and Walter Payton.
Sprinkle in Emerson Boozer.
Larry Czonka
There is so much history in this game and you need to watch the TV films.

One day we can discuss this again.

NO, there are a number of RB's ranging from Thomas Jones to Reggie Bush. There is no way LT will be the best because in a few years more people will easily break their records. Records are there to be broken.

Most likely, he finds the endzone with ease he runs for over 1500yards all the time puts up 500 reciving yards up alot. If he can stay healthy he can put the touchdown, rushing yards in carrer, and most total yards ever far beyond what it is.

I think he will. As long as he dont pull a Barry Sanders and reitre early he will definatley pass Emmits rushing record.LT is on pace to blow past it and i cant wait cause i think hes probably the best rb ive ever seen.
