I feel like that is a bit harsh. Tomlinson has won an MVP, has 3-4 different 2000+ yard seasons and was generally considered one of the best 2 way backs (running and receiving), perhaps even superior to Marshall Faulk. He also ran in between the tackles as he was 215+ lbs. He also had a 7-8 year prime
 
Back to the Rodgers v Brees take

Rodgers is basically a modern day Joe Namath IMO. (which isn't great)
I'm going to need a shower after defending Aaron Rodgers...but they're very different.

Joe Namath isn't even a HOFer

The biggest separator of the two right now is Brees didn’t destroy the end of his career with crap teams and bad football
 
I don’t think he’s talking about the football Hall of Fame. He can’t possibly be.
Soup Commercial Hall of Fame
 
Why not? You can still make the playoffs by winning the division. Just can’t host a playoff game against a team with a better record
absurd. If you want to host then win your division. You have 6 games against your division out of 17. If you can't make it happen then to the road you go. You will never even out all the divisions year over year.

he’s trying very hard to in the booth where he’s a horrible commentator
 
And since it was mentioned in here, here’s a hot take.

Campbell soup is absolute ****

Not a hot take by any stretch.
 
I will give it to LT he got all the TD's and that is because he "was" the offense.

AD had to share with the other stars

King Henry just took a **** and named it LT and said I flush players that quit
Yep.

I'd also take Frank Gore over LT. AP too.

Marshall Faulk isn't even the best running back that played for that franchise.

Tell your fancy AI to run LT and Marshall Faulk or some other stat *****
 
Here is another one

The early 2010s Detroit Lions were nowhere near as bad as people think , and Matthew Stafford deserves at least a bit of criticism for never winning a playoff game there. In 2014 for example they had the #1 defense in terms of DVOA, and had Calvin Johnson in his prime, Nate burleson, Golden Tate... and didnt win a playoff game.
 
I like Tomlinson because of what he did for some of my fantasy teams...but AD was the best of that generation.
