Complete Running Backs:

By complete I mean can do it all. Run, catch, pass block, not come out of the game on 3rd downs and work the play fake.My top 2 are LT and Edge. I don't think anyone else comes close.

 

right now imma say Edgerin james. but its a close one with him and LT.

 

Here's my list:Ladainian Tomlinson Shaun AlexanderTiki BarberEdgerrin James

LJ still needs to work on his run blocking, and catching the ball out of the backfield.I would do a list but since the question is "Most complete RB in 3 phases" it will take a while to analyze.

LT, Edge, Portis in no particular order, but I do feel that each of these backs has an advantage over the other.

 

Curtis Martin is one of the all time greats in this area, but I wouldnt say hes up there anymore.Top Right NowLadainian TomlinsonEdgerrin JamesTiki BarberClinton PortisReggie Bush (Yeah, yeah, I know....)Shaun Alexander really isnt a complete back because his pass catching leaves alot left to be desired.Larry Johnson is a poor blocker, so I wouldnt really say hes a complete back either.

 

LaDanian Tomlinson, Edgerrin James, and Tiki Barber.

 

Steven Jackson will be in 2 years or so. But for right now i'd have to say...Steven Jackson because I feel like being biased as hell.

Not in particular order

 

I say Edgerin James, Lt, LJ, and Rudi Johnson.

 

I dont think LJ or Rudi are complete backs yet. They are hell of runners but i think the rest of their game is kind of lacking.

 

What about Marshall Faulk? Is he too old to be on this list?

 

If it was all time, it'd have to be Faulk. But it's not I don't think, that's why it's Steven Jackson.

I think LT is definetely the most back. He can pass, run, and catch effectively. He almost had more passing touchdowns then the jet's qbs

 

LT & Tiki
