I don't know. Terell Davis is such a once in a lifetime event. In 4 years he did everything a running back needs to do to be a HOF.
2000 yard season
20 TD season
Pro Bowl
All Pro

Superbowl MVP
These points make him just such an anomaly that you really can't compare other players to him or his career.

So comparing Alexander and Lynch to TD they are all pretty close. The only real difference is 2 SBs and an SB MVP. However SBs are as much about the team as the player and both Lynch and Alexander have some things over TD.
