You know what? He could be 10, over Thurmal. I left him out because of his very short career, but in that short time he was great.
 
You are all wrong by far best RB = Sammie Smith.:roflmao:

I so disagree on that. Emmitt was one of the biggest money players in NFL history. When the chips were down, Emmit showed up big!

One of the best ever, no doubt, but I think I put 5 names up over him that are very possible.

Yes Emmitt is the all time leader, yes he was very tough, and even more so, he was very very durable. Here is another yes though, the YES that he had one of the best Offensive lines in NFL History.......No?

You put a Barry Sanders behind that same line, and wow. Put any of my top 5 runners behind that line, and IMO they top Emmitts stats.

Personally I think Dorsett was the best Cowboy runner, who also might have topped his stats behind that line.
 
Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Eric Dickerson, Emmitt. Dickerson completely dominated the league mercilessly for a good while. He gets really overlooked by people, he probaly did hang around a couple years too many, but when he was in his prime there was no equal to him in the league.
 
Personally to me this should be a thread about best Dolphins backs. in which case i would have to put Czonk and Morris atop of the list.

Now that would be an interesting thread. Especially the first time someone mentioned Ricky Williams

There should be an asterisk next to his name. that he quit on his team. So votes for him wouldn't count.

Barry Sanders did play behind a pro bowl offensive line. He had 2 or 3 pro bowlers in Detroit on that line. It's a myth that Sanders ran behind nobody.

emmit smith and Barry sanders played behind a pro bowl line, but the Lions team sucked overall, and the cowboys were the ****.

the debate isn't over who played on the better team. But who is the better RB. :shakeno:

I got a question to that one then.
Why did Barry always run for more yards running back for a loss only to make them up by making his moves. he wasn't a straight ahead runner.
 
I highly suspect that the people who vote for Sanders lack the historical perspective of seeing Walter Payton or Jim Brown. Sanders couldn't carry a game. He's a fraud. His never moved the sticks. He couldn't get yards when you needed them.

Dallas has three that are easily remembered names, and should make the HOF one day. Any pro bowler on that Detroit line went because of Sander's, nothing more.

Sander's was caught for no gain so many times because there was nowhere to run. Give Sander's the same holes and he would have wore every LB out that he played against by the end of the third quarter.

It's crazy to think they were even comparable to the Dallas' line, or even considered close to great.
