Default Re: Rank these running backs

I'd say this order at the moment...

Terrell Davis
Tiki Barber
Edge James
Priest Holmes
Brian Westbrook
Shaun Alexander
Cliton Portis

I have to evaluate Davis on stats alone so this may be wrong. But, his numbers are insane. Look at his rushing totals in playoff games. Off the charts.

Tiki Barber towards the end of his career was an all-time great, led NFL in yards from scrimmage twice in a row. Marshall Faulk type production over a shorter period (not by much).

Edge is underated IMO. Yes, he did it with awesome talent helping but his numbers before Peyton became other-worldly were superb and Indy never missed a beat after losing Faulk. Priest Holmes similar to Tiki but with more overall talent on the offensive line, arguably two or more hall of famers. I may be disrespecting SA, oh well. Westbrook and Ports are both excellent but not quite in with these others of yet. I think Westbrook could move up pretty easily in a few more yrs.
