BTW- Where did you get 38 tds? It was 31 (he also had 2 passing td's but they don't count towards the record) but even if you count those two it's 33.

My bad, but we are both wrong. He had 28 rushing TD's and 3 receiving TD's, and that is according to NFL.COM (NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League. So that is 31 TD's. Sorry, I was trying to remember off the top of my head, next time I will check up on my stats before I post them. And you are right it is a team sport. As for Brunell being at the helm in SD and still going 14-2, I don't know and neither does anyone else. That is nothing more than speculation. Offensively LT is a QB's dream come true he is good enough to take the pressure off of the QB. Oh, and since you did bring Bruenll up, look at how good Portis made him look in 2005. I am sorry Rivers is not the one that gets the credit for last years team, anyone will tell you that if they didn't have LT, Rivers couldn't handle the load himself. It's the same situation that Eli is in up in New York with him loosing Tiki...
