Eric Dickerson, Jerome Bettis, Marshall Faulk, Steven Jackson.
It's over on the sidebar if one wants to vote. I went with Marshall Faulk out of the choices listed. Between individual success and team success, I think Marshall wins it hands down.
Both he and Dickerson were at one time considered the best in the league at RB but Marshall was more versatile and his teams had more success. I'd also say that Dickerson ran behind some of best lines of all time. When Charles White and Greg Bell come in and put up comparable numbers it's hard to assume that it was all Dickerson. Plus, as talented as he was, Dickerson didn't have a lot of heart.
I still remember a 3rd and 34 situation he and the Rams had one time. This was John Robinson football so of course it was a draw play but Dickerson broke free. He raced down the sidelines for 33 yards and then stepped out of bounds right before the bright orange marker so he wouldn't take a hit. He pretty much lost me that day.
Also, there were some great Rams RB's other than these guys that might need to get mentioned at least.
