Marshall Faulk's Standing Amongst the All Time Great RBs

[NYC Rebel]

And their both Roger Craig's nephew

Roger Craig was NEVER as good as either Thurman or Marshall, even though he's the first to have 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving in one year.

The LT/Faulk argument is one of the most intriguing football arguments there is.

I don't think anyone can have a "hands down" argument over the other.

You just can't.

Faulk gets the nod because he actually won a championship.

 

[feelosofer]

Faulk is definitely top 10 all time.

Oh Marshall faulk was going 1 on 11?

 

[RugbyMan]

reading is fundamental.

I said those were the top 5 RBs that i watched play in my lifetime.

Im 29, born in 83.

All i know of Jim Brown is the same as everyone else in this forum, i know his stats, his rep, his highlights, and his all time rank.....didnt have the privilege of growing up watching him play.

relax playboi

I'm just giving you a hard time. I read what you wrote. But I was going along with the OP's theme of "All Time Great RBs". And even back then people didn't really get to grow up watching Jim Brown play because pro football coverage was scarce, and everybody didn't have a tv like we do now. But from all the games/highlights I've watched and listening to commentary that other players have said about him, Jim Brown is straight status.

I think he's top 15, at least in my lifetime:

Jim Brown
Walter Payton
Gayle Sayers
Earl Campbell
Barry Sanders
Emmit Smith
Jerome Bettis
OJ Simpson
Bo Jackson

^^^after these guys, it's debatable, you got guys like Dorsett, Tomlinson, Faulk, etc. I would say top 15 for me.

How was he not? Faulk was better catching the ball, But as far as just running Faulk is nowhere near LT. Faulk is easily top 15, not sure if I would have him in my top 10 though

Faulk ran alot more when he was in Indy, then became alot more of a receiver back in STL.

I'd take a prime Faulk over a prime LT.

Jerome Bettis was better than Faulk?

I use to stan Marshall almost as hard as I use to L.T but L.T was better. Not by much and conceivably someone could look at it the other way but prime L.T's agility and cutback ability was his first four years he might have been the fastest game speed player in the league.

That LT cutback....

 

[klientel]

Faulk is top 5

1300+ rushing...1000+ receiving in one season?

That shyt don't make no damn sense.

 

[blackzeus]

Jerome Bettis was better than Faulk?

As a flex player, no. As a pure running back? Bettis has more yards, more 1000 yard seasons, and he did that without having a nice spread offense to stretch the field out. I'd say yes.

He pretty much was on some of them runs. Check the hilights

 

[Mr. 1nighter]

Sanders/Brown
Peterson
dikkerson/Simpson
Payton

No real order here but i'd put them all ahead of Faulk

 

[NYC Rebel]

That could be said about LT too
