LaDanian Tomlinson is...

[The30YardSlant]

Two of his O-linemen were perenial All Pros. I think he had a good OL.

And Emmit ran behind 4 perenial All-Pros.

your acting like a 5yr old troll

So what's it feel like to know less about football than a 5 year old?

 

[Hostile]

And Emmit ran behind 4 perenial All-Pros.

That would be 6 Offensive Linemen on the NFC's Pro Bowl teams and they were contemporaries.

No one ever ran behind 4 perrenial All Pros. Emmitt had 2, but not even 3.

Hey HH, take a bow.

You got a nine page thread going that's NOT about TO.

Not til we get to arguing over who would beat whom in a fist fight...Sanders or Payton.

(Brown, of course )

Yes, but could Brown's daddy beat up Sanders' daddy?

No need to back into a corner just because you now look like a fool

The most complete player to ever play the game. That is all

You're 20. You couldn't possibly have a clue.

 

[Dawgs0916]

I have to chime in on this. And before you start bashing me on MY age, let it be known my dad is and my grandfather was one of the biggest football fans that has lived and I have seen the tapes of Walter Payton, and even though I LOVE LT, he is not in Payton's league. Yet. If he can do what hes doing now for another 10 years, then yes I would mention them together but for now, nobody is better all around than Sweetness.

 

[scottsp]

Gotta give this to Sweetness as well. The man was the very definition of versatility. I do believe through the first 4.5 years of their careers, Payton has a slight advantage in rushing yards per game and did more in receiving yards as well. And yeah, someone might want to check me on that.

Also, understanding LT hasn't exactly been flanked with championship level talent, try imagining how tough a go it was for Walter Payton with Bob Avellini under center. The man typically threw twice as many picks as touchdowns. The city of Chicago should have held a parade every time he broke 50 percent in completing passes.

I would have.

That, my friend, is an awesome sig pic. Just great.

 

[ghst187]

Watered down talent from having more teams.

16 game schedule.

Different rules helping the offense.

yeah but the athletes are exponentially better, especially on defense.
Payton might've gotten crushed and not finished a 16 game season against the current league's defenses....
Payton used to put his head down and hit DBs, well try doing that to Roy or BDawk or some of the DBs that bring the load these days.

What rules help a running back?

Overall, this argument is like saying Lebron is better than Jordan was at this point in their careers....
The predecessors were way ahead of their time but would their performances translate to success in the present? Maybe...who knows?
Both guys are/were capable of taking over a game singlehandedly...and both very great. Who's the greatest? who cares, they were/are both great and enjoy each for what they were/are.

Thanks guys you can thank Juke for that
