As much as it makes me happy to see ET do good, He's gonna have to string more than two motos together to start that conversation.

Is it to soon to strip RD on his nickname "The Man" can give it to Tomac? It'll will only be a matter of time before the new GOAT is leading Merica to victory as manager of the MX-d-nation and bringing Zundapp back to dominate MX/SX as RD did with KTM.

This will be Tomac's first full year on 450's and coming in fresh. I imagine Dungey is worried and people forget that Eli has won a National Championship already, so he can be consistent outdoors. Also, with lap times like he is throwing down, it doesn't matter if he gets a bad start or not cause he has plenty of time. It will be interesting to see when he does get a bad start and if he can track Dungey down. If he totally dominates the outdoors this year, will he do it for as many years as RC? Only time will tell. I do think he is and will be the fastest outdoor rider in the world, for many years to come. It's amazing how good he is in rough stuff. The last Southwick, he was so much faster than everyone it looked like he was racing against C riders.

But this is his first FULL year. Ya I'm aware that he raced last year but came in late. Since that argument is hard to compare yet, do you think Tomac has more raw natural talent than RC?

Last year was tomacs full year regardless of him starting late last year due to injury.

Too be the GOAT, or be compared to RC, you need to come, win on day one, and keep on winning for 10 straight years.

You can't be out there for 3 or 4 years, then have a good year, and suddenly everyone is calling you the next GOAT.

Just my opinion on it.

And probably the best opinion and best post in the 164 "Eli" threads on the front page.....

This Is ET's "first full year" and he's healthy. I believe he will be talked about along with the top outdoor racers ever after his career is said a done. I don't believe he will dominate supercross like outdoors though.

ET has the raw speed (and fitness) to hand it to anyone one on the planet at times, hence his awesome performance at Hangtown this weekend. But, I do not think he has the ridiculous consistency that RD can produce through an entire season. I know SX is ancient history by now....but RD5's worst finish was 4th.....at the first round....I do not think he even tipped over in a night show all year..... I just hope we see a points battle throughout the entire year. Tomac has certainly shown his speed...but can he do it for 12 rounds in a row?

I just want to show up at Dilla' with a close battle and a backpack full of beer...

Bruce (I mean Bob) I think you meant to say that just want to show up with a dildo and a dress.

The night just wouldn't be complete without hearing more of your nonsense about RD and KTM. Give it a rest already. RD, just like the rest of them, ride on the edge every race. Anything can happen. Even your boy broke his collarbone not long ago, so even he isn't perfect.

Better run....I hear your mom calling to turn off the computer in the basement.

How is this is first full season?? His first was last year regardless of whether he got hurt. You don't get another chance at freshmen year just because you were injured. Eli is a sophomore in Moto
