NFL.com's Vic Carucci writes LaDainian Tomlinson is becoming the National Football League's most valuable player. What do you think?

"The conversation regarding MVP of the NFL has changed. Peyton Manning once appeared a lock for the honor. Now LaDainian Tomlinson is running away with it -- literally. Tomlinson's history-making statistics are staggering, but the guy is about much more than sheer numbers. He is a playmaker who performs at his best at the most critical times in a game. For the second week in a row, the Chargers needed another dramatic comeback to win. And Tomlinson's touchdowns (three rushing and one receiving) were the key to making it happen. He not only is the best running back and best player in the league. He is making a legitimate case to be regarded as the best running back -- and perhaps best player -- in league history. Philip Rivers also has had a major hand in the Chargers' dramatic comebacks. He continues to show composure and wisdom well beyond that of a typical first-year starter and third-year pro. His teammates marvel about how he carries himself as a six- or seven-year veteran in practice and meetings. And he demonstrates that level of maturity when he plays. Despite the suspension of linebacker Shawne Merriman and multiple injuries on defense, the Chargers can make a deep run in the postseason with the dynamic play of Tomlinson and Rivers."
