LT or LJ?

in your opinion who is the better back? give them the same line, fullback, and against the same defense. who would prevail as number one? and what makes you say this? who should be rated better on madden?

Is this a serious Question? I don't think at this point there is even any debate to this.

LT and its not close...LT is one of the greatest of all-time, while LJ has had 2 good years and has yet to do anything that special.

Cant believe the question has been asked...LT and its not even close..

Dont get me wrong I like LJ, but even the most avid Chiefs fan would claim he is better than LT..

LT.

Fantasy wise. I think L.J fell off the #2 spot. Not fell off, but people might hesitate on him or Steven Jackson.

L.J's lost Roaf, Shields and Richardson. They're trying to get rid of Trent Green. Parker's old. A non factor. Just take Tony Gonzalez out of the equation and you can shut down their passing game. That makes it easier to stop the rushing game.

I think that's a big reason why L.J wants a new contract extention with LT money. He probably knows his numbers will decrease, losing those 3 guys.

L.T. By far, best back in the league. We're watching this generations' Barry Sanders/Jim Brown/ Walter Payton/etc..

LJ is good and none of us can deny it, but LT is better because LJ has arguably the best O-line in the league and on top of that he had 400+ carries, to me I think he should have pass the 2,000+ yard mark, but he didn't set or brake any records

I agree with everyone that LT is better, but I feel like I have to step up and defend the Chiefs here...

Wrong... LJ HAD arguably the best O-line in the league... LAST YEAR. This year the Chiefs O-line was just a fraction of what it has been. Don't take my word for it, just think about it. Why would Trent Green, a pocket QB, get hurt trying to scramble in the first game? After losing Roaf, the Chiefs had two holes to fill at the tackles... not to mention the loss of Tony Richardson at fullback. That line was average at best.

Some would argue that almost 1800 rushing yards this year with 17 TD's is special. Some would argue that over 1700 yards and 20 TD's last year in 9 starts is special. I guess you're just a hard person to impress.

And in the end.. Its still not close.. LT dominates.. LJ has been good but he will drop off real soon here... LT will keep going (barring injury)
