Man, if this guy gets three more good years (ten seasons, through the age of 31) and maybe an SB ring, people will stop asking who the greatest RB of all time was. Moreover, if he gets three more good years, he'll probably get himself that ring.

Well... everybody it seems is bigger and faster, and they mostly are (one or the other, at least). But nobody's got LT's cutting speed. Which is why a minor knee injury is a minor cause for concern: that trait won't last forever, and while it might take a worse hit than that to stop LT, it is in fact a matter of time before that diminishes a bit. He's still the wiliest RB in the game, though, and that's one thing that doesn't decrease with age. He could lose a step and still be a top-caliber RB.
