I couldnt agree more. The guy is an absolute stud. Could you imagine the press he would be getting if he played with a larger market team like the Giants for example.
No offence to Tiki Barber ( or his fanclub President, Xpanda ) but Tiki couldnt light a candle to L.T, and you cant turn on the TV without seeing Tiki's head.
Come on diggers Tiki couldnt light a candle to Ladainian?? Uhhhh, OK. Tiki is getting his yards, but the way the Giants run their offense he wont get his touches in the Red Zone. If you look at rushing yards below, he's less than 70 yards behind Tomlinson and still has a game to play tonight.
NFL Rushing Yards
Rank Player Team Yds Att Avg TDs Long
1 Larry Johnson KC 1045 248 4.2 12 45
2 Frank Gore SF 1043 189 5.5 4 61
3 LaDainian Tomlinson SD 1037 210 4.9 19 58
4 Tiki Barber NYG 971 191 5.1 1 46
5 Willie Parker PIT 893 200 4.5 9 76
Sorry for digressing but its funny but a lot of people almost expect Ladanian (sorry theres only one LT) to get all of these big yards every game. I also think that him being very unassuming hurts him with coverage while loud mouths underachievers are on the front page and leading on SportsCenter. Right now he's leading the MVP race bar none.
