Best all time Running Backs

[DelawareTide]

1st time attending a Bama game at BDS this weekend.

To learn a little about the history of your Running Backs who do you pick as your all time best 3?

[TiderGreg]

In my lifetime
1. Shaun Alexander
2. Eddie Lacy (last half of season was over the top)
3. Tie Trent and Mark

 

[cbi1972]

It's really hard to gauge those players from before I was born, but in my lifetime, I would say
Trent Richardson
Shaun Alexander
Bobby Humphrey

 

[MN-Tide]

1) Trent Richardson
2) Mark Ingram
3) Eddie Lacy, Shaun Alexander, Bobby Humphrey, Johnny Musso (tie)

That way I get to list six. I can only go back to the early 70's.

Tony Nathan
Johnny Musso
Major Ogilvie

Had to go old school.

 

[Matt0424]

Trent Richardson
Shaun Alexander
Bobby Humphrey

 

[BamaJama17]

In my lifetime it would be;
#1 Trent Richardson
#2 Mark Ingram
#3 tie between Shaun Alexander and Eddie Lacy

Yeldon and Drake have a chance also but they are still at Alabama. This could change in a few years.

I'm in my 40's and without looking at stats I'm just going to give you my favorites, one from each decade:

70's: Major Ogilvie
80's: Bobby Humphrey
90's: Shawn Alexander
00's: Mark Ingram
10's: Trent Richardson

 

[NationalTitles18]

Shaun Alexander
Bobby Humphrey
Mark Ingram

At least considering only their career at Alabama and only in my lifetime.

I believe one day Derrick Henry will be on this list. Henry reminds me of Shaun Alexander more than any back I've seen since. Has has a similar build, both set rushing records as seniors in HS and both have the same deceptive speed. Alexander has been the greatest success in the NFL of any Bama back in my lifetime, Eddie Lacy is heading towards a few Pro Bowls too.

Alexander.

Any memeber a fan during the Thomas or Drew era? Has to be a few "Red" Drew members on the board.

I'll throw this one out there: Linnie Patrick: From a talent perspective he was one of our best. But he was undisciplined, stayed in the doghouse, and shared the wishbone back field with several others.

 

[EscaTider]

My faves-

1. Shaun Alexander
2. Bobby Humphrey
3. Eddie Lacy


The top 3 that never reached their full potential due to injuries-

1. Kerry Goode (Could have been the best)
2. Siran Stacy (Lost a few steps after ACL injury)
3. Derrick Lassic (never had a major injury, but stayed dinged-up often)

 

[RammerJammer15]

My favorite 5

1. Trent Richardson
2. Shaun Alexander
3. Mark Ingram
4. Eddie Lacy
5. Bobby Humphrey

I got run over by a senior Linnie Patrick when I was a Freshman in HS as a CB. It was Walker County vs Cullman HS. He gave me every bit of his 165lbs at full speed.
