I've been watching a chunk of old games featuring Faulk, plus some Gurley games. I'd say Faulk as a half a level better than Gurley. Gurley was very good but Faulk was in a better class. Sigh, I miss seeing that, Faulk was so good.
I'd tend to agree. I don't think that there's a RB ability that I'd rank Gurley higher than Faulk.
I think the real question is whether or not Gurley was a better RB than Steven Jackson. Both were workhorses and above-average pass catchers. Would bake a "business decision" if I had to tackle either. I MIGHT give Gurley the edge in this comparison as I think that he was quicker to the edge on stretch plays and he could get through smaller holes IMO.
