    Very true, I think LaDainian Tomlinson has easily been the running back of the decade, since he's been the most consistent one, the only one just as consistent as Tomlinson is Shaun Alexander. Though, I would say Tomlinson was more dominant and more consistent than Alexander was though.

    In terms of complete package, i honestly think it is either MJD or SJAX, possibly DeAngelo.

    Those guys can catch it, block well, and they have put up some striking numbers on some pretty poor teams.

    Lol, I don't even know I make that mistake, Thank you for correcting me. Just Best RB in the NFL. :)

    I would say total package belongs to MJD, I think Jackson is a bit overrated, maybe it's because I don't like him much or because I just think he's just a straight up moron.

    When was the last time Jacobs even scored a TD? 2008? Sure as hell did NOTHING this year, and Bradshaw had all of the TD's.

    Voted Slaton on accident because it was in caps. Flustered easily I guess.

    Great highlight. He still only had two more TD's than Slaton, and when's the last time Slaton played? That's downright pathetic for a RB with a contract like the one he just signed and does not equate to "great end zone presence". Also being sat in crucial game situations for a backup, while at the goal line, kinda worse.

    I guess you can say he's the James Posey of the NFL. ;)

    Yep me too, but I still going with CJ as the best.

    My top 3 is:

    1) CJ
    2) SJax
    3) between AP and MJD

    S-Jax on a winning team IMO.

    Chris Johnson gets the tiebreaker due to a certain somebody having fumblitis issues.

    The knock on him is that he has had injury problems. Nothing major, but a lot of nagging injuries that have caused him to miss games over the last few years.
