Both very good, but I would take Duece. He was surrounded by inferior talent than was Alexander. Most fans can't tell the difference between great blocking and great running. Alexander had both. Deuce had to earn his yards. He had elite power and elite speed. He was the best back in Saints history.

You have to include Kevin Faulk in the conversation.

I agree with this, but Shaun Alexander's performance in Death Valley still gives me fricking nightmares.


Faulk played on low-talent teams as well and did everything for LSU.
