tyler735 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Since Todd Gurley is have a big season this year being widely considered by many the top RB in the NFL and has a chance to contend with LaDainian Tomlinson's touchdown record, I thought I'd see who FF thought the better RB was.

El Ramster Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Ladanian Tomlinson was the best back of the 2000's.. But his post season left so much to be desired. He did have some bad luck with injuries. But even the games he played in he wasn't as effective. Still the answer is LT. One of the best backs I've ever seen in my life.

Danger Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Todd Gurley. LT was probably the most overrated runningback we've seen to this day. He could've gotten injured at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 LT has to work much harder for his stats...Gurley is a heck of a RB, but that Rams offense really does opening things up for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJerseypaint Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Pump the breaks. LT was putting up crazy total yards each season (three seasons over 2000 yards and multiple over 1500). The offense ran firmly through him for nearly 7 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Norv Turner back then with LT was like McVay with Gurley today. I think thats how we should look at it. Both backs were supremely talented but they also had great offensive minded coaches. Turner is still working his magic even today. He has gotten Cam to be a better passer this season than he has been his entire NFL career. Turner is using CMC very nicely in the system. With that being said, I think Gurley has brought back the running backs. It wasnt Zeke who did it. Gurley did it because the Rams took a chance on him with the 10th pick and it paid off right away as Gurley had a big rookie season. He did something that no other back has ever done and still hasnt done. Gurley because the first back in NFL history to have 4 straight 125+yds rushing to start a career as the starting back. Now Gurley is on pace to break the touchdown record and possibly win the MVP which is harder to do in a QB league. So while I really like LT, I think what Gurley is doing is special considering all the rules benefiting the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also helps that teams aren't that heavy in the defensive line like they were 10-15 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to see Mike Martz in this era. The man was ahead of his time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlNFL19 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Gurley's not even close right now. He's good but he's not Tomlinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he refuses to adjust and adapt? And won’t change his scheme because of injury or devoid of talent? His offenses in Det put up great numbers with scrubs.

His offense was ahead of its time. But it's time ran out in the late 2000s. Look at Norv Turner's troubles over the past decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
