Who are the top 5 most complete RB's in the NFL???

This is speed, power, finesse, vision, running between the tackles, getting outside, catching the ball out of the backfield, everything!

1.) LaDainian Tomlinson

2.) Brian Westbrook

3.) Steven Jackson

4.) Clinton Portis

5.) Maurice Jones-Drew/Marion Barber III

Im trying to find a place for Joseph Addai, but he may just have to go for 6th......

Update:

I wanted to give Peterson that last spot but i want just 1 more season and he could easily could make a skip leap and jump to the top 3. His knock was his hands out of the backfield, but this yr they have been pretty good. As far as Steven Jackson, he has only missed 4 games this season and is pushing 1000 yds while LJ has missed 7 already and only had 550 yds in 8 games. LJ is overrated IMO, he is a wham bam thank you mam and done as far as his career. Look particular at his yards per carry from season to season. Started well with a 4.3 in his rookie yr, then to a 4.8 his 2nd yr, then a great 5.2 in his best season, then last yr dropped to 4.3 again, and this season it was only a 3.5. He wasnt a career guy, he was just a great player for 2 seasons, he's done as far as that goes IMO.

    I tihnk you need to give Adrian Peterson some consideration in that last spot. Other than that I agree

    I have a thoguht, not necessarily a change I would make just a thought. If you are going to keep Steven Jackson on the list i am assuming you are giving some leniency for the fact he has been hurt. If that is the case then why no Larry Johnson
