I love CP, but he's in a second tier below LT. Nobody in the league holds a candle to Tomlinson. Barring a devastating injury (which LT seems to somehow manage to avoid), he'd be a safe bet to eventually own all the rushing records in the books.

Every so often a guy like Larry Johnson or Adrian Peterson comes along and gets a bunch of hype, but none of them have the staying power or consistency of LT.
