LT and Frank Gore.....
- Thread starter MrFedEx503

Because Gore gets caught by more defenders, since he lacks the level of skill that LT has, he has a chance to break more tackles. So what? LT has 28 TD's, Gore has 6. TD's are what is important, no matter if you break 11 tackles to score and run over players, or if you juke and outrun everyone. Scoring is the name of the game, I'm positive that if LT wanted to run people over, he could do it just as good, if not better, than Gore. It's scoring TD's that counts though.

You're right, the cast of players around LT is much better than Gore and I will give him that. But LT's improvement from his 2nd year compared to LT from the last couple of years is what makes him so great. Just because Gore is having a better year as a 2nd year player doesn't mean he'll make the same leaps that LT did in his career. I like Gore and I think he will improve to be a great RB, but he will NOT become anything close to what LT is right now.

Do you even watch either of these two players? Gore runs into defenders and straight thru them. LT cannot do that as well, that's why he eludes tacklers. Have you ever played organized football at the RB position?
And LOL @ your fuckin arguement. All I said was Gore is better at breaking tackles, but now you guys are just clinging from LT's balls. Let go of his sack. Nobody said SHIT about who's got more TDs or what's better between broken tackles and TDs. I said Gore breaks more tackles, watch a fuckin game and you'll see why I say Gore is harder to bring down than LT is once you make contact. You pussies always wanna start an arguement over something else that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. The fuckin thread is not comparing Gore to LT, you guys are doing that yourselves.

I'll agree with this, but at the same time, it doesn't mean that he won't make the same leaps, or even surpass LT, as we all know that The NFL is about as predictable as the Lotto.
I don't think you can really predict something like this, but you're entitled to your opinion. Also, LT is on arguably the best team in the NFL right now, and they've got the offense and defense working like clockwork, so obviously LT is going to thrive in that environment.
Plus, LT is in his prime right now, Gore is my age ( 23 ) and is getting better every game, so in that respect, the sky is the limit for Frank.

Yeah you're right, but the statement wasn't up for debate. And what I mean is you are comparing every aspect of both players. Bringing up TDs and arguing who's better. I only brought up one thing, that's it. But some people are just all over LT's nuts and can't admit when he's not the best at one aspect of the game. You tell me what breaking tackles has to do with how many TDs LaDainian has. Tell me how breaking tackles means Gore "lacks skill." You're trying to compare everything as if I said Gore is a better back than LT. That's what I meant when I said you're trying to compare them, as if you're trying to prove who's better. We all know who's better.
I just really don't see the point in comparing only one aspect of their games. One back evades tacklers by being quicker, faster, with finess. (as you put it) The other runs them over and takes more hits. Also, I just don't see how the fact that LT DOESN'T NEED TO run anyone over makes Gore better at breaking tackles. I'm sure if LT was as slow and short as Gore, he would use what he had to his advantage, much like Gore does. But really, each player has their own style, and the only way to compare two different styles of play is by counting the TD's to see whose style really is "working". And we all know who wins.
Of course there are other factors that come into this, like O-Line, full back, QB, Defense, and everything else. LT is still much better, even though he DOES have a better surrounding cast.

Because I already said LaDainian wins all aspects except that one. I don't see why it's so hard for you to understand that Frank Gore breaks tackles better than LT does.
Go watch film of both players. Watch what happens when Frank Gore gets hit by a defender. Then go watch what happens when LT gets hit by a defender. LT can break tackles, but once he gets wrapped or hit by a defender he goes down much quicker and easier than Gore does. That's the point I'm making. I honestly don't see why you're trying to argue with it. I know you're trying to make it seem like Gore has to run people over or he wouldn't get anywhere.. But you need to go watch some film cuz you're way off base. You seem to be one of those fools who thinks LT is the best at every aspect of the game. There are faster RBs, more powerful RBs, more agile RBs, better blocking RBs, better tackle-breaking RBs than LaDainian Tomlinson. LT is the best all-around package, but he is not the best at every individual aspect of the game. Get over it.
