I don't think there is any question that LP was the most talented Husker RB ever. I respect your opinion, BUT for me there's more to it than talent to be considered the greatest RB ever at NU. When he played, he put up huge numbers. LP wasn't available for his team for multiple games because of his personal issues. I downgrade him for that. Talent wise yes. Career performance no. JMO.
I got ya. I guess I look at it differently. To me you are speaking of more accomplished

Your opinion is a legit one. We just see it a bit different. To me your opinion is based more on accomplished than best. Those two things CAN be the same but they absolutely don't have to be. That's why with a position like RB it's more about eye test with me. Because most of the other stuff can be based on numerous other valuables like OL,Scheme, coaching, durability etc.
Mine is based on what I witnessed from said RB as a talent. If all things equal who would I take.
Tom Brady is the most accomplished QB of all time. Yet many people would tell you Aaron Rodgers is the best QB they ever seen. Despite not being near as accomplished. All things equal I'd take Rodgers myself. Same could be said about Barry Sanders and a guy like Emmitt Smith. One is more accomplished and has won more and rushed for more yards and TDs. But MY eye test yells me the other is a better RB.
That's how I feel about Ajman and LP. All things equal gimme LP.
