mdonnelly21 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Was LT closer to Adrian Peterson as a pure runner? or Closer to Marshall Faulk as a catching back out of the back field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) He was a different beast to both of them. Peterson the best athlete of the 3. LT the best all round. Faulk the highest peak imo LT would have been off the chain in a zone running scheme like Denvers imo.

Nabbs4u Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 He was the best of both TBH. Ran better then Faulk but in no way as violent as AP. Caught the ball light years better then AP but not better then Faulk. There is no right answer or wrong answer other then he was better then both IMO as a overall RB. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both those players were more 1 dimensional in their strength LT imo was 85% of both in what they were strong at making him clearly a better overall RB. Better in the complete sense? Debatable. For Peak not many RB's of all time where as good at 2012 AP who averaged 6 yards a carry. 6 !! For prime I would have to give it to LT though. Faulk although great in his own right benefited greatly from the Greatest Show on Turf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I mean, it doesn't really matter. He may get injured either way. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could do everything you would want out of a RB in all phases; pass block, run the ball, catch passes, run routes, convert short yardage. He would be elite in any and every era. I can’t speak to backs I never saw, but LDT is the greatest I’ve ever seen play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 For this thread, I’d say he was closer to Faulk as a catcher than Peterson as a runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamblinMan99 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Tomlinson was kind of in between. He could still run routes and catch passes, but he wasn't as balanced as Marshall Faulk. Faulk was like the ideal balanced RB, because he could do it all. But, Tomlinson wasn't trucking over people either like Adrian Peterson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlinson's stiff arm was his signature move, is was so nasty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
