Tiki Barber Appreciation Thread...

[BucciMane]

I never said he wasn't a very good HB. However, you compared him to Eric dikkerson..

I'm not a fan of comparing players I've seen often times to ones I have not, but come on. Eric dikkerson was an entirely different type of HB, and has the accolades Barber does not.

Go to 7:10 of the second link. The only guys in that era you could really line up like a receiver or even trust in the pass game like that was Faulk, Priest, and Tiki. Nobody else was hitting muhfukkas out the slot/out wide and all yall brothers who saw him play should remember this...

I'm a Redskins fan, I fukking hate the Giants, but Tiki was that guy...

Yall gotta put some respect on my guy name lol...



Lmao we talking about him strictly on the gridiron, g. Lotta guys favorite players have said/done some reprehensible shyt off the field...

Tomlinson used to do it all the time. Thats how he had100 catches and like 1600 yards rushing in 03.

His best season had more yards (2390) than any of Eric's best seasons

Terrible Teammate. Funny how Strahan has had the post playing career that Tiki Envisioned for himself

How? ED played in an era where you could feed the halfback 30-40 times a game, where "good offense" was predicated on running straight into the line. Being a good receiver wasn't a requirement, having to run against exotic defensive formations didn't exist (unless you wanna credit the Bears' 46 defense as "exotic" and that was still the only thing of its era). Runners in ED era didn't have to have a football IQ, just be fast and able to follow a SIMPLE blocking scheme...

Tiki played in a more advanced era, where defenses shifted from their base formation within games, thats wasn't a thing in the fukking 70s and 80s lmao. Tiki was a guy you could count on in the pass game, was a tough runner, I'm trying to figure out exactly what dikkerson did better, when all he had to do was run headfirst into a line, not get tackled, and outrun guys. He didn't have to actually read a defense and if you ever heard this dude talk, his football IQ low than a bytch...

LT a GOAT but towards the bottom of GOATs. He was Diet Faulk...

 

[premier58]

Diet Faulk??? Come n now. What did Faulk do better than LT aside play for more loaded offenses?? LT was a way better.runner than Fsulk also..

 

[mvp_status]

The fact that he tried to justify his early retirement partly by shytting on Eli/Coughlin.....then the first year he's gone they win a fukkin championship lol

Any appreciation he wouldve had went up in smoke the moment Burress caught that TD against NE

Tomlinson is overrated. There is NOTHING he did better than Faulk. Nothing. His entire play style is a bite off Faulk----->I've said this before: Tomlinson is to Faulk what Kobe is to Mike. Ultra talented in his own right, created a GOAT career in his own right, so this isn't shytting on LT or calling him a scrub, because he wasn’t...

He was a great football player but he was the lesser version of Faulk. Faulk had a degree of gamebreaking skill that no runner I've ever seen has had in 21 years watching the NFL...

San Diego was not splitting LT out wide like a #1 receiver, because although he was an excellent receiver (one of the greatest RB receivers easily), he wasn't the degree of threat Faulk was...

Faulk is a legit trailblazer of the hybrid RB, and to date still the best to do it in that mold. You could line him up in any kind of base run scheme and he was a threat to break, his presence on the field changed how defenses defended his teams and this goes back to his Indy days. LT didn't make defenses change how they defended SD, he was just more often better/too good for them to stop with their regular package...

 

[premier58]

i had a long responae but accidentally deleted it. LT is not a diet Faulk. LT has a level of physicality that Faulk didnt possess. But had the same agility and speed as well. LT has multiple ruahing titles, Faulk has none. Faulk had poor to avg ypc averages until he got that STL stimulus. Faulk was better.being split out but SD did put LT in the slot at.times.and LT would run seams and get open. LT has several historic seasons and is 3rd ALL time in TDS. Hes clearly the superior runner while Faulk is a little.better receiver. Faulk played with a better supporting cast in his prime.

This will be a short thread.

 

[FaTaL]

Fuk him

 

[Reggie]

Tiki was great for a while but cats hold the shyt he did after retiring against him like that had to do anything with the numbers he put up.

 

[duncanthetall]

Tiki was a good player but it’s hard to think about his play on the field without bringing up how he went out like a complete buster.
