The best ever. He played against tougher defenses in the mid 70's like Dallas Doomsday, Pittsburgh's Steel Curtain. It was before the rules changed allowing the offenses to score more points.
@VandyRox17 Fuck numbers, Payton's were high enough, it's the fact that he ran like a spartan, a true warrior, dished out punishment, carried the load for the bears team, and the craziest statistic of all, despite how physical he was, he only missed 1 game during his entire career! This during a steriod fueled 80's without all these rules protecting players. Sweetness was it man, a true iron man.
If everyone in this world put their whole heart into their own lives like Walter did in the game, imagine what a great wold this would be. Sweetness is missed. There will never be another player like him. His will & heart kept him on his feet & running when others would have been down.
Sweetness played ball when men were men, broke tackles when they used to tackle for real and not just hit the guy as hard as they can hoping they'd knock him down. He had true athletic ability.
I'm sure many people noticed, but I have never seen it commented on: if you look at the guy from the Detroit Lions who climbs on Walters back, at the 43 - 44 second mark, his feet are completely off the ground!!!!!
@rjst09 seriously im tired of people talking about o lines and all that stuff.. walter payton played like 8 positions and played 5 seasons less then emmit smith with 500 attempts less plus he played in the 80s emmit was in the 90s-2000s thats when the nfl is soft and its getting softer. so no need to talk about the o line you could obv tell who is the better athlete
@itsmybunny1 Yes, Walter is the better player/athlete. But, i have a hard time comparing Noah Jackson and Revie Sorey to the line of Dallas of which at least 2 will be HOF. If he had this run offense up front, his numbers would of been larger. Plus, the Bears had no passing game, therefore, Walter faced 8 man fronts his entire career, whereas Dallas had a passing attack to spread the field_
I think Barry deserves more respect than that. He played behind a terrible team and could've broken Payton's record if he chose to keep going. He was a great player and a humble man.
@wajeh77 - I agree w/u with exception of Barry Sanders. He could've surpassed Walter, but he had too much respect for his legacy so he decided to retire. No back in history is or ever will be more elusive than Barry Sanders. He created and made things happen b/c he had no choice - on talent and ability ALONE he carried his team. He had one of the worst offensive lines in the fucking history of the game.
His balance was just unbelievable. Out of all his skills, (agility, vision of the game, decision making, instincts...)i believe that it was his balance that played the biggest part in being what allowed him to run like he did.
Maybe he's referring to Walter Payton's quarter back skills. 8 passing TDs in his career. This kid is probably trying to replicate that as well, but he just sucks.
ah man, those legs! when i was kid living outside of Chicago late 70's/mid 80's, if we got a game goin, it didn't matter if you were black or white, tall or skinny, short or tall....if you got the ball and were running for a touchdown, we ALL did those high stepping a la #34. when he got sick, and had the press conference with his son announcing it, then he broke down and cried......i along with millions of other people cried right along with him. RIP Walter. We miss you!!
emitt smith isnt in the top 5... emitt smith shows durabillity... not skill. he ALWAYS had a good team. ALWAYS had a great offensive line. Walter started on the bears when they were 4-12 or something... he clawed for every yard he got. NEVER once did he fumble btw. emitt is just a great athelete who has good durabillity
emmit smith iss good. so i eould put him as number 3 but i dont really mno whos better between walter and barry. but my favorite is walter so ima go with him
#2 Walter Payton #1 Walter Payton and fuck emmitt smith if he hadn't played for eight year past his usefullness, he would be just another 10,000 yard RB
im 14 i only remember when his memorial@ soldiers field was. but as my life went on and i got more into football his determination was soo extraordinary his playing style was one of a kind he was one player even 10 or so years after he passed he still connects and touches peoples hearts. Sweetness lives on in all of us. Walter Payton July 25, 1954- November 1, 1999 NEVER DIE EASY!!!
he is the best example in nfl history how he can be so great and still be a real fine man rip walter payton we all miss you #34 sweetness always in our memories
What's really incredible is the power and speed he possessed. He was only like 5' 9"-190lbs or something like that. He just punished anyone trying to tackle him, I love it ! Don't know the name of the song, but I'm sure I heard it on the soundtrack to Last of the Mohicans.
WE miss you But it was Awesome while it lasted thanks for an AWmazing ride you are the best of the best . your the greatest man ever to step on a football fields!YOU ARE A HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Walter Payton. Heros are hard to come by, but you were one of them. One of the most kind and decent human beings ever to live, even though he could've been like deion sanders. However, as it is said, with great power comes great responsibility. Thank god he did his best to help people. R.I.P, youwill never be forgotten.
