LT tells reporters he better then AP

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Lol @ anyone who thinks LT SHOULDNT believe hes the best. I dont agree with him, but hes done enough over his career to warrant calling himself the best.

Nothing wrong with saying it. But when your LT and you have a history of calling out people for there lack of "class" you dont...or you look like a hypocrite.

L.T. has proven his point in the NFL. AP still has years ahead of him, anything could happen.

I think Tomlinson is past the point of being a hypocrite.

Adrian Peterson is one of the best running backs I have ever seen. His running style is so distinct and special. He has gears and can shift through them better than anyone I can remember. He is the ultimate runner because he can do everything (run inside, run outside, break tackles, juke, etc.) and he has all the tools to be one of the greatest ever (balance, speed, strength, power, quickness, vision).

He'll never be a more complete back than LT because he's not a pass catcher but purely as a runner he will surpass him if he stays healthy.

Lastly who the fuck gets nicknamed based on the first 2 letters of there name as opposed to there initials ????

All Day.

I already deleted the rest of your post when I quoted it before I decided to say ... great post by the way.

Barry/Emmitt never called themselves the best....if they did it wasnt like this.
Even TO has said Moss was better than him on at least one occasion.

RB is one position where a primadonna Im the best in the world mentality doesnt cut it.

When it comes to "ability" Bush >> AD/AP so dont bring up ability.

With 70 less carries LT had 1 more TD last year.

Ive seen too many key situations in games where both of them have been on the sidelines. AD because of being taken out , LT because of injuries.

Anyways AD is explosive but needs to learn to protect the ball , and protect his body , be more convincing and consistent on his routes, and learn to pickup a blitz. Tomlinson is a douche who may have hit a wall.

Emmitt/Curtis Martin both had great season after 30 so Im not writing off LT.

The money is on AD/AP because of his age and explosiveness.

i'm sorry, aftre the bolded part i was so amzed by your stupidity that i just stopped reading. please change you name from theking of football to chief of morons.

when you play one year, you may show greatness, but LT is still king of the modern era over the long haul. Hopefully AP can keep this up for a decade and Emmitts record may fall

What's the modern era? If you mean the last 5 years, then yeah sure. But any longer back...lol.

thats all I mean by modern - the short term. Neither one holds a candle to past greats yet. But LT is closer than AP

I can't wait for LT to be back in top form this year to shut these idiot journalists up.

What LT is forgetting is that the position is called: RUNNING back, which means RUNNING. AP's rushing numbers, skill, and explosiveness are unmatched by anyone else in the league, thus making him the best RUNNING back.

Throw them the ball and it's a different story though.

Another thing we have to remember is that AP doesn't play 3rd downs (usually). Think of how many more yards he could get if he did.

Catching the ball is an important attribute for a Halfback believe it or not.

The position is Half back.
Theres a shitload more to being a "runningback" i.e FB/HB/TB then just running.
You must be watching the CFL or rugby.

Such as not fumbling.

And being able to play on 3rd down.

The position is about blocking , running , receving all in one . Another big factor of being a RUNNINGBACK is not fumbling .

Hell if Runningback is all about running and nothing else then why do the Colts refuse to sign or draft Runningbacks who can't pass protect? Obviously because they have a HOF qb to protect but it just shows that there is way more to the position then just running . I would take a good runner who can catch and block over a better runner who can't block or catch (not saying AP is either) but he does need to work on both

Btw It's called Halfback if I am not mistaken

Agreed. I say the same thing when people talk about Mike Vick. People forget that the position is called: QUARTERback, which means QUARTERING.

To be fair, LT has ventured into underrated-land with his 1100 yard (3.8 avg) and 10 TD season.

I wouldn't write him off, yet...he is going to be 30 this season and that "fall off age" is right around the corner, but we aren't talking about any ole RB here, Tomlinson can still produce.

This year will be big for him. He was at his best when he had someone (Turner, Chatman) to give him a rest...now that Sproles has emerged, I think we go back to seeing 1300+ yard Tomlinson.

 

[ultfrisbee]

I thought the story was all about LT saying he is the best because he was a threat everywhere on the field. He can run the distance, juke, stiff arm, throw a good block, catch passes, be a 3rd down back. OTOH, AP isn't such a comlpete HB even though he's a hell of a ball carrier.

LOL @ Quartering

 

[dell71]

This is as big an example of a reporter making up a story as I've ever seen. Someone asks an active HOF caliber RB who's the best RB in the league & he says himself. Whoop-dee-fucking-do!
