Where will LT be ranked?

Barring major injury, where will Ladanian being ranked in regards to great running backs?

Does he have to win a Super Bowl or play for a perrenial playoff team?

What other RBs that are in their prime atm, have a chance to be considered one of the greats?

He hasn't accomplished nearly enough to be considered a "great" yet. The talent is there though. I don't think the Superbowl or perrenial playoff team are necessities. Look at Sanders.

[Toro]

As the greatest linebacker to play the game.

My thoughts exactly. The LT nick should be retired by sports commentators and used only for Lawrence Taylor.

The can use Ltom or something when talking about Ladanian.

Or his actual name. This making up nicknames for absolutely everyone in sports has gotten ridiculous.

La-dane-e-in Tom-lin-son doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

I'm pretty sure if you just say Ladainian, people will get who you're talking about. It's pretty easy to say.

Eh, he needs to like 5 more years to enter the dicsussion.

He probably ends up with less than 10,000 yards.

Are you joking me? He has played in the league for 5 years (4 of which the Chargers we beyond pathetic, he was the only option) and has 5900 yards. He is 26 years old. He has 5-7 more years of his prime. I don't think he has a ceiling at this point.
