ill not mention Mr. Brown stats, and they speak for itself in a brief career. If he had played the game a longer period of time he probably would have numbers that could have been held in awe. This is where the controversy exists.

The great Barry Sanders was one of the most elusive, fun to watch. With his electrifying moves and a silent demeanor, his actions speak volumes, although Barry did not have a touchdown ratio that permeated Emmitt Smith, 160 odd touchdowns for Emmitt and a combined 180 odd touchdowns plus 18

So alright he has sort of a tongue twister name if you do not pronounce it properly, he will correct you on that. There will always be comparisons on the past present gridiron warriors, and the few who are still living will surely tell you the comparisons and complexities exist because of a bygone era.

There will always be the die hard fans that will not concede because of their loyalty for a player or a heritage that connects them with a team and individual history. Yes we are in a new era of football, and it is prevalent that all true die hard sports fans have their certain opinions and prejudices, but you cannot deny the fact in this era and the not so past there are players that excel in their positions, irregardless of comparing styles, conditioning, work ethic, and most important, a desire to be the best no matter what the critics may write.

In today NFL the players are more conditioned, stronger, wiser-with the availability of digital film, and I would bet my last dollar that any great athlete in this game knows the importance of proper conditioning and study.

There is one absolute, proper nutrition without steroids is possible, there will always be the negligent and dangerous use of this damming substance, the players that know the danger stay away, from the possibilities of suspension, loss of appeal which leads to a player dismissal from greatness.

In college 98% of coaches condemn the use of all illegal substances-it is taboo. This is not just about the young running back that is running like tomorrow will end, it is more so about an allegiance of his stats in comparisons to the greats of the game.

LaDainian Tomlinson is the best pound for pound running back at 5’11” 221 pounds, and one of the most elusive runners, slashing defenses to shred, images of the one and only great Barry Sanders.

There is no argument that his stats are the best start of any running back in NFL history, there are five running backs that I must list respectively of their careers.

Jim Brown, one of the power, finesse determined backs of our time, I will not mention Mr. Brown stats, and they speak for itself in a brief career. If he had played the game a longer period of time he probably would have numbers that could have been held in awe. This is where the controversy exists.

The great Barry Sanders was one of the most elusive, fun to watch. With his electrifying moves and a silent demeanor, his actions speak volumes, although Barry did not have a touchdown ratio that permeated Emmitt Smith, 160 odd touchdowns for Emmitt and a combined 180 odd touchdowns plus 18,000 rushing yards the reining NFL title holder, and Barry with his 15,269 yards, and the late great Sir Walter Payton with his combined 21,264 yards-rushing yards 16,726, in that era where running backs were glorified on their ethic that records were meant to be broken.

LaDainian Tomlinson at the present has 93 rushing touchdowns, 8507 yards, barring injury in this NFL season he may do something unprecedented that no other running back has achieved, and may set a standard of what future backs will read in awe. If this were the era where these stats were comparable, he would be in the Hall of Fame on first ballot.

At times as sports fans, sports writers, analyst of the game we snooze and wake up a few years later and find ambiguity in ignorance.

Speculation is not an athlete who is seeking perfection; it is rather the conditioning of pride and the silent education that separates greatness from ordinary.

Yes his number is less one number than Emmitt, one more number than Barry, what a parody, lets assume that in his quiet demeanor that he goes on a tear in the next six games, two to three rushing touchdowns in a game plus ninety to a hundred or so yards per game, then he will truly be among the elite and silence the critics.

Shaun Alexander would have given him a run for his money, but he does have Larry Johnson ,a close favorite with his 1100 or more rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, competitive desire is what drives the great warriors, pride is what they carry in their humble strive for some sort of perfection.

Believe it or not stats are a reality in any time frame of history, and no one can deny this, NFL football is a very physical game of will, the spirit lives on through all past, present players.

The ultimate goal for LT and his teammates is the Super Bowl, and if keeps up his report with left tackle Marcus McNeil who will lead his way to the end zone as the team celebrates the victories and playoffs, this is what all great players need, and team unity is what make great players great.

LaDainian Thomlinson smells the end z
