yup, barry had the most negative yarage. but overall his 5 ypc average in his career is 2 all-time. and he played for the LIONS his whole career. LT is good. don't get me wrong. but the best pure runner in NFL history is, without a doubt, barry. there will never be another barry sanders.
Sanders wasn't the all around back LT is. I'd much rather have LT's receiving skills and stiff arm. Sanders is the all time leader in carries for a loss.
False modesty. Look at him when he's frustrated. THAT'S the real Tomlinson. Throwing whiny accusations and claiming 'we have them where we want them' when they're down 24-0 at halftime. I think LT is a great guy, but maybe not quite the selfless symbol of football menschlekeit that many people (including himself) prop him up to be.
l.t. what a baller . he is so greatful and so unselfish and thinks about his team over himself and just an all around great player . t.o. and all those other guys can suck l.t.'s dick . ye
ya, he's a good RB, but I think people forget that football is a TEAM sport, the only reason LT has such amazing stats is because of his fullback and his O-line, those first 5 yards are up to them, the next 50 yards of one-on-one tackle breaking is up to the RB.
of course thats the reason he broke all those records last season but he is also the fastest to 100 td's and that means that he's been dominating ever since he came in the league. he is he best football player of the millenium behind Brady... well, maybe manning also.
I don't think there has ever been a more humble and talented player than LT. Can't wait to make the trip from SD to Miami, cause superbowl here we come.
F that. Sanders didn't have the ALL AROUND game LT does. Sanders was more elusive, but LT is just as fast, much stronger, better receiver, and more durable.
I hate to come here and start arguments on a LT video, but w/e. Sanders was a stronger RB, LT runs out of bounds instead of staying in and getting extra yards. Comparing their first 6 seasons, LT has an extra 287 carries on Barry!! And yet only has a 504 yard advantage. Look at their ypc (the true test to measure a rb), LT - 4.47 ; Barry - 4.92 ypc. Then look at their supporting casts... NO COMPARISON. Barry > LT.
Dude, LT doesnt need to take unnessacary hits to get an extra half yard. That is why is body is holding up. Yea Barry was better at getting yards but LT blows away Barry when it comes to TD's. Yards dont mean shit unless u get TD's. Weak argument.
How is it a weak argument bro? YPC is the most important stat for a running back. TD's are OF COURSE important (who's denying that?), but there are so many biases involved with it. How much blocking support, defenses you're going up against, how many yards are the TD's coming from, etc. Shaun Alexander has tied Barry's rushing TD's as well, but I doubt anyone would be willing to argue that Alexander > Barry.
You're a fuckin idiot. If you read more about LT, he doesn't give a shit about YPC. All he cares about is winning and to do so, he has to stay healthy for the team. He does this by preventing unnecessary hits. You're just another San Diego Chargers hater. Go fuck yourself!
YPC is the most telling stat b/c it eliminates many of those biases. It's an averaging effect. And when it comes to YPC, only two RB's stand out: Jim Brown and Barry Sanders.
Tell me this, does TD's win games or does yards win games? Barry gets more yards because all he does is make big plays in the open field. LT is better in the endzone tho.
You are nuts for even comparing the 2 RBs. There is only 1 Barry Sanders........and that is coming from a die hard Bolts fan. They will both be in the Hall of Fame because LT is one of the greatest RBs.
The fans called the 2007 MVP correctly at 2:17. Lolz

can anybody give me a link to the clip of LT taking his ball and going home after the loss to the Pats in the playoffs a few years ago?
the game where the pats did the lights out dance on the field and LT pouted and walked off the field while guys were trying to shake his hand

You fuckin idiot, he was putting up huge stats back when his o line sucked.
rjh1284 4 years ago
Yea, but he wasn't putting crazy numbers like last season moron. He needed that extra help to push him to a legendary season.
elabudi3 4 years ago
Actually he had a higher yards per carry and more total yards in 2003 when SD was 4-12. You're a complete moron.
