I was spurred by these articles:
Reggie Bush, Todd Gurley among best RB prospects I've scouted
Gil Brandt's greatest NFL running backs of all time
to ask myself, "who is my 'best' running back of all time?" The way I answer such a question is, in many ways, something like the prototype that I would seek for that position. This accounts for a couple things, such as a player who plays on a bad team and other unfortunate circumstances such as injuries. I'm not one to put older football players on a pedestal, and plus I don't know nearly as much about them, so my catalog is approximately from 2000 to present, although there are exceptions.
With all of that being said, my ideal running back is somewhere between Marshall Faulk and Ladanian Tomlinson, and it got me thinking... Which one was better? Any opinions on that?
Also, in general, who do you think are the best running backs of all time and why?
I think I would have to pick Faulk as the best overall running back that I ever had the fortune to watch play football.
