Marshall Faulk to miss season, could end career.

[LikeLinus]

"Seven-time Pro Bowl tailback Marshall Faulk, the ninth-leading rusher in NFL history and a future Hall of Fame member, will undergo knee surgery next week that will sideline him for the 2006 season and possibly end his career."

That's a shame. He was a prototype back for so many years. He's 33 years old though and on this will prob make him retire.

That really sucks. I love the Rams and loved watching him play...

At least he should have plenty of money to retire with. Hopefully he saved.

he's way past his prime.. he had a great career, and it's time to call it quits..

It is a shame and, at the same time, a blessing. I hope the surgery goes well and he doesn't come back and screw his knees up all over again. He hasn't been the same running back that dominated the league in '99 / '00 for a long time.

Not exactly a shocker there... He's been fading for the last two seasons. But still... One of the greats to ever play the position. Next stop: Canton.

Its too bad.

Even tho he's one of the toughest players in the NFL, which says a lot, he also plays the most punishing position in the NFL.

You like to see good guys like Faulk go out on their own terms tho.
