I love CP, but he's in a second tier below LT. Nobody in the league holds a candle to Tomlinson. Barring a devastating injury (which LT seems to somehow manage to avoid), he'd be a safe bet to eventually own all the rushing records in the books.

Every so often a guy like Larry Johnson or Adrian Peterson comes along and gets a bunch of hype, but none of them have the staying power or consistency of LT.

I completely agree,portis is a good back but he's not in LT's league.He put on a couple good moves in the minnesota game but he could have had a lot more if he could stay upright,there were at least 3 times he lost his balance and didnt gain as much as he should have,it seems like he does that a lot.I dont know what causes it,maybe hes just trying too hard
