lawrence taylor is the greatest pass rushing line backer ever. no question. he was the best player on some great teams. oh, and he has 2 rings.
tomlinson is great, no question. but is he even in the top 5 all-time running backs? and he gets hurt. a lot. and his sour-puss on the sideline act gets old.
Who would you have over him?
I can see the case for:
Emmitt
Peyton
Sanders
Brown
and then who?
Dickerson?
He needs another 250 or so yards to be 8th all time. As for ‘injury-prone’, this year was the first time he’s missed a game due to injury.
I can see LT right now being the number 5 back all time, if he were to hang up his cleats. But, despite the NYG rush D, he’s not done yet. Watch out if the Bolts get their run D sorted.
