In any other year a strong argument could be made, but LT is shattering RB records and that is with 3 games left. SD has the best record in the NFL with a QB starting his first season, and a lot of that has to do with LT.......what other player has run for a TD, caught a TD, and passed for a TD in the same game?
He's shattering
a TD record not records. He's not close to 2,000 yards is he?
Second, I'm not going to down play his accomplishments but how difficult is it for a strong offensive team to get inside the five yard line and then hand the ball to its top running back?
That's why that record is easily broken, or has been. All you need is a great offensive team that stops short of its goal inside the five.
Third, he's not winning any records for catching TD passes or passing for a TD, so that's really irrelevant.
Fourth, the Chargers have a well-rounded team both defensively and offensively. The Chargers were expected to be contending for the AFC West title. The Saints were not expected to be contenders.
With all due respect, and this is not to take anything away from LT, but rushing for the most TDs isn't as impressive to me as passing for more than 4,000 yards, especially when your team is winning because you would expect losing teams to be in passing mode.
Drew Brees for MVP.
