Wut?
Faulk invented what LT did.
Wut?
LT had 9 seasons of Double Digit Rushing Touchdowns and a season of 31 total TDs on offense (33 if you count passing). He had 2300 total yards twice. He had 5 season over 1400 yards rushing. LT had 162 TDs total rushing/receiving. LT had Reche Caldwell and Vincent Jackson taking the heat.
Faulk had 4 of double digit rushing touchdowns, a season best of 26 touchdowns, and only one season above 2300 yards. Faulk had 0 seasons over 1400 yards rushing. Faulk had 136 TDs. Faulk played with Holt, Hakim at his prime, and Bruce.
LT is probably the best 2-way RB all time and LT is a Top 5 RB all time easily, Faulk is more like Top 15. No way he cracks the top 5.

I like the way you manipulate the numbers to show your case and just pick out what suits you, like the 1,400 yard mark. If you put it at 1,200 instead, it's LT 7 seasons and Faulk 6. Yet, you intentionally go low.
They are both incredibly close in numbers and almost played in the same number of games. I give Faulk the slight edge due to him getting a ring and is a much better receiver. But I don't see a big difference otherwise..

He had 767 receptions for 6785 receiving yards.

Faulk’s 2000 season is probably the greatest fantasy season of all-time, anyone argues that is an MFin idiot

Let’s do 500 yards so every RB can get participation trophies.

Edge was a very good RB but he was several tiers below Faulk as a RB.
Several tiers below Faulk? Lol wut
& Tomlinson > Faulk
Faulk couldn’t run between the tackles like Tomlinson. Both are top 15 RBs all time tho.

LT, mainly because I saw what he did to Denver twice a year for what seemed like forever.
i could probably give the same answer for Faulk with the Rams when the Saints were in the old nfc west with them.
I tempted to say LT cause I think he could run between the tackles better. Faulk was a good pass catcher out of the backfield but i'll bet LT was no slouch either.
also Faulk in his prime was blessed to be an elite offense of all-time.

Tomlinson was the better player.
Faulk was no slouch, but he played in one of the best offensive schemes the nfl has ever seen. He also had more talent around him on offense.

They are different types of players. Both very good, but Id pick Faulk. Was better all-around imo.

Faulk not close
Why is it always “not close” in these type of arguments? It’s definitely close and to argue otherwise being hyperbolic for the sake of being hyperbolic. They both had similar numbers and accolades.

I've heard Barry mentioned as the all-time best on a few national sports shows, but OJ & Gale Sayers were just as good. Marshall Faulk was incredible and I'd easily choose him over LT.

LT. Faulk was electric but LT did everything that Faulk could do + punish you between the tackles.
It's close though. Both are 2 of the top 10 RB ever.

LT. I feel Faulks receiving numbers advantage is simply the result of playing with a bunch of all pro WR’s. LT was the better RB.

LT for most offenses
Faulk if I am running a pass-heavy spread or a west coast.
LT was a good receiving threat out of the backfield, but Faulk was an all-time receiving threat
