Adrian Peterson was great. But was he better than LaDainian Tomlinson?

LT because he could do more than AP could. Plus, AP has a fumbling problem.


Now, that's not to say that like AP isn't one of the best backs I've ever seen in my life but LT was the complete package. nikka could catch the ball, protect the QB, juke/spin/run around and over nikkas.

they different. it's like comparing dikkerson and faulk. they ain't same mold. with LT you get a total package. with AD you get a force of nature. both nikkas are top 5 talent.
Barry Sanders
Eric Dikkerson
OJ Simpson
Jim Brown
Marshall Faulk
Emmitt Smith
Walter Payton
Bo Jackson
Marcus Allen

That's 9 RBs.

Who you kicking out to make room for Peterson and Tomlinson top 5?

:lupe:

Feels like Tomlinson was the beginning of the don't pay rbs close to 30. The generation before him had Smith, Martin, Bettis who were alll production after they turned 30 but Ladsinlisn fell of son as he got close to 30, abruptly.
Shaun Alexander fell off before LT and he wasn't even quite 30. Bettis dikkerson Faulk Edge etc. were also pretty much done by the time they were 30 as elite backs.
