Marshall Faulk's Standing Amongst the All Time Great RBs

[PHamm]

enough time has passed since he retired and was inducted to HOF. Do you consider him top 10 ? top ? or top 20?

 

[RugbyMan]

Top 10

 

[Larry David]

Top 10? Top 20??

Obviously.

You could make a legit argument that hes top 5.

Im 29 years old and i can tell you with 100% certainty that Marshall Faulk is a top 5 RB in my lifetime.

Everyones top 5 is going to be different, so i dont expect everyone to agree with me, but in my opinion it goes....

Barry Sanders
Thurman Thomas
Marshal Faulk
LT
Emmitt Smith

 

[Brady-Carter]

Meh, top 10 for sure..

..I might go top 5, dude really opened up the passing game for backs. The guy was the engine of those great Rams teams...

...Little to drunk to really go look up stats. But ya, bar talk, dude is top 10 for sure. I would argue top 5 right now.

That's why I hit homeboy with the

Jim Brown is the GOAT and if he's not at least in somebody's top 5 I can't take 'em all that serious

 

[iamduval]

How could he not be top 10? Hes a first ballot hall of famer

 

[jfkennedy]

I may be biased, but I think it's easily top 10. And a strong case for top 5. He's the best receiving RB in NFL history, and top 10 in rushing yards.

 

[Jesus Is Lord]

Not a definitive top 5 but definitely top 10.

 

[itsyoung!!]

top 10-15 yes
top 5 no

 

[mvp_status]

Barry, Emmitt, & LT rank higher from that era

top 10 back

 

[Carlos Huerta]

Barry, Emmitt, & LT rank higher from that era

top 10 back

How was LT better?

I think Faulk is one of the best ever. But everyone talks about the system for certain players (Brady Emmitt etc). So why is the system he was in St. Louis not taken into consideration. Because he was a good back with the Colts then went to another level when he went to the Rams.
