I get why AFC West fans wouldn't like Philip Rivers. Anyone else is wrong.  |

I know it's not a lot of people voting but I never knew Tomlinson was that much of a fan favorite. I hated LT |

Not sure if u watched Barry Sanders but I know you’ve heard of him at least. Similar sucky one dimensional type team but sanders would run circles around LT. Literally he would have run a circle around him and still gained as much as LT. Just my eye. Not trying to offend. I’d name at least 10 backs I’ve seen that I liked better than LT in his best year. Adrian Peterson’s best year was better. Corey Dillons 2004 year dominated the entire league like I’ve never seen from a back. |

But this guy was also catching the ball at a much better rate than most WR in the league. Super multidimensional player. First RB to catch 100 passes while running for a 1000 yards. Then three seasons later obliterating the TD record. It may never be broken. |

I just don’t believe he was a winner. I don’t think his teams were ever truly championship material not just because of their personnel but the style of play which allowed for LT to achieve such statistics |

Plus it was much harder to come out if the AFC at that time due to the Patriots dominance. Just ask Peyton. |

The year the patriots went undefeated I watched every one of their games (I hated that year and I’m a patriots fan. It was no fun at all. I hope no team ever has a season like that again for all of our sake). The patriots were in a decline towards the end of that season. They tried hard to keep their pace and it was their downfall. Several teams nearly beat them by the end and if the chargers were a serious contender then they should’ve been able to win. Games that regular season against the Ravens, Eagles, and Giants were more competitive. |

Yeah I was gonna say, talking about LT never being on a championship caliber team completely omits the '06 Chargers. That team was absolutely stacked and while it's impossible to predict, the Chargers had Peyton Manning's number during that time frame and I really don't think Rex Grossman is beating them in the Superbowl. Big ups to Marlon McCree for taking rings away from Tomlinson, Gates, Schottenheimer, and most likely Rivers.

I thought he meant the 07 year because that’s the year the patriots dominated. In 06 the patriots played the colts in the afc title so I can’t remember what happened to the chargers that year. I find it hard to believe they would have beaten Manning to play the Bears. But I find it easy to believe that anyone who came out of the afc would have beat the Bears |

You should know that lol. |

You should know that lol. That figures. All I can remember about 06 was being up 21-6 at halftime on the colts and being so cocky with friends about going back to the bowl. 2nd half was the quietest half of football I’ve ever watched in such a big game but my mouth was never shut. It just hung open. That game hurt me more than losing the undefeated season in the SB the following year. |

Peyton is my all-time favorite player, so finally reaching the Super Bowl combined with who they had to beat, and how they had to do it made it quite incredible. |

So I would never have said this in his playing days as I always, always routed against him (I loved to see the dumb look on his face when he was about to lose an elimination game and watching his press conferences after was a must watch for me). However he was absolutely fantastic and will probably end up underrated historically especially due to what Brady achieved. I will at every opportunity talk Peyton up to anyone when speaking on the subject of great qb’s. I teach high school kids for a living and many times discuss sports. It won’t be long before that age group will have never seen him play. |

But I find it easy to believe that anyone who came out of the afc would have beat the Bears It's far from a lock or anything but the Chargers were beating the Colts in both the regular season and the playoffs pretty frequently during that time frame. They were considered Peyton's kryptonite as much as the Patriots were (I remember the whole "Peyton can't figure out the 3-4 defense!" hot takes).

Big ups to Marlon McCree for taking rings away from Tomlinson, Gates, Schottenheimer, and most likely Rivers. that was one of the worse sports memories.. I'll never forget I can only imagine. McCree's fumble is so much worse than either of the infamous Leon Lett plays or Jim Marshall's wrong way run IMO and yet it's a gaffe that history apparently forgets. lol after YouTubing it I see that there was significantly more time remaining than I remembered. But still. |

I don’t remember one thing about that Pats/Chargers game. Maybe I just didn’t watch it. I was 17 or 18 that year, always with friends on the weekend, sometimes would watch games but not always when with them.
