The other 3 area playing right now and just haven't gotten anywhere close to finishing.

I am referring to Zeke, Gurley, and Barkley.

That's crazy because I wouldn't even consider Zeke a top 3 active back.

I don't who the 5th would be. You can make a case for Edge, Alexander, Lewis, Tiki, Jackson, and Gore. 

This is pretty close to mine.

1) LT

2)Faulk

3)Peterson 

4) Holmes

5) five is close...but I gotta give it to Steven Jackson. How bad his teams were and he still produced stats. He didn't score much TDs cause the Rams offense was garbage. I honestly believe he was the best power back of his era...just didn't have Peterson's break away speed.

From a general statistics THEN talent standpoint (I am not digging deep, just kinda going with what I remember and a quick look at their numbers) from 2000 on
1. Tomlinson
2. Peterson
3. Alexander
4. MJD
5. Tiki Barber? Matt Forte?

From a very subjective, easily arguable perspective primarily on talent:

1. LDT
2. Faulk
3. Peterson
4. Taylor
5. Williams

Although I could also say some of the young RBs that have come out in the last 2 or 3 years are easily talented enough to crack that list. But I am an old fogey and want to see them play longer than 3 years before I put them on my list.

MJD and Jamal Lewis. I personally don’t have them top five though.

Edit: Corey Dillon and Frank Gore deserve mention as well. Still, probably not top five.
