Re: LaDainian
You know, I agree too. I think it'd be more "cool" and "knowledgeable" of me to say something like, "this guy can't touch Jim Brown or Barry." But I don't think that's true. I think he's got such a great combination of power, speed, moves, reliability, field vision...he finds holes very well and moves through them quickly, gets extra yardage after contact...he's one of the very best great runners that's also a huge threat catching the ball...he has a nose for the end zone, he can handle lots of carries, he's a nice guy (I do know him a little bit from TCU days), he's always stayed out of trouble, he's been RELATIVELY injury-free (crossing my fingers and knocking on wood that that continues). He's just THE total package...and if he keeps this up, it is POSSIBLE that he could go down as the greatest RB in the history of football.
Cool.
