It’s strange since he’s only run three marathons, but I’m scratching my head trying to put together a list that doesn’t include Rupp.
Has won a marathon? Check.
Has medaled at worlds or OG in the marathon? Check.
Has been on the podium at a major? Check.
The only thing potentially keeping him off any list is a fast time, but I don’t think that’s a necessity - Meb has already shown that.
Can anyone construct a reasonable list that doesn’t include Rupp?
Rupp could retire today as one of the top ten best US marathoners ever.

Can't think of one myself, unless you're just a hater and come up with some bs
-
Hes alredy top 5 no doubt
-
Shorter
Rodgers
Salazar
Meb
Hall
Rupp
I have him 6th off the top of my head...so top 10 seems probable. -
To me, Rupp's "win" doesn't count because it only came against other Americans.
-
True. However he has so far been branded (by LR) a marathon failure because of his 10K times. We all know the OLYs are not what they were - at least 20 EA's would have easily beaten him in Rio given the right incentive. Likewise Boston. Majors are diluted now, spreading the $ around. GR's marathon times are mediocre on the world stage, inferior to some guys who couldn't break 28:30.

You forgot that Ritz has run nearly 3 minutes faster than Rupp. -

Those people are idiots. He's run two marathons against international competition and placed in both of them. Anyone who calls that a failure should recalibrate their expectations. I mean, really. Meb was 9th in his marathon debut and he ended up doing okay. -
It is always hard to rank marathon runners on their time versus medals in the WC or OG. A medal in the OG carries a lot of weight, so I would have to put Meb and Rupp ahead of Salazar and Hall. Shorter and Rodgers are 1 and 2.

SO FAR, My guess is Rupp will run a time trial type marathon like Berlin, Dubai, Etc. and he will run a High 2:03-low 2:04, can't wait until he does as I hate explaining why 2:05.38 is the American Record when Ryan Hall has run 2:04.58, when Rupp runs 2:04.57 or faster (And he will) I will be happy not to have to explain this anymore. -

One race doesn't make a career. -
Beardsley was more than a one race man. He had a great career.
Rupp is a terrific marathon runner. I hope to see him continue to run.
I can't put him in my top 5. Kinda like putting Bo Jackson into the Hall of Fame. Too brief of a career.
Rupp needs to compile more competitive marathon finishes. IMO -

Not really. One and out. -

Agreed. Too bad we'll have to explain 2:00:25 for the next 20 years... -

But Rodgers never won a WC or OG medal....

Before the "Duel in the Sun", Beardsley tied for first in London in 2:11 and ran a 2:09 at Grandma's. The "Duel" was his 13th straight PR in the Marathon. -
What about KK. Yes, he was born in Africa but the guy became an American and is living the dream.

KK

Rupp
He'd be ahead of anyone recent but Meb and Hall (yes, ahead of Ritz). I could see arguments for Beardsley or, for the dinosaurs, DeMar, but I think he's slightly in the top 10. -
