This is true.... My main argument for Emmitt being the best is that he had 17 playoff touchdowns.... Barry 1, Jim Brown 1, I think Walter had a few.... It's so obvious that if you're going into a big game that you'd want 22 behind the hogs.
LOL this is battle of running backs. Not teams. The lions sucked. They made it to the playoffs once. Why are you comparing playoff visits? that's a team game. But if you want to play the stat game here you go.
I only say Payton was better because he was surely, without argument the more well rounded back between he and sanders. He had much better hands, returned kicks, kicked field goals, threw the ball and blocked in addition to running at a high level. And was the ONLY offensive weapon the bears possessed for a number of years. The lions and cowboys possessed more than did the bears during any one year. Look at team probowls #s
No, Jim Brown played in a league, which if Payton, Sanders, or Smith had played in, they each would have had 25000+ rushing yards. If you move Brown into their leagues however, there's no chance he would have been successful. While Jim Brown was an exceptional 2 sport athlete, he was not a well rounded back in the sense that Payton, or even Sanders was. He had a brutish running style which only worked because of his relative size. He was as big as most of his lineman, larger than the d.
"tomkier3" Subjective opinion on an entertaining running back aside, objective facts; Emmitt all time leading rusher, SB MVP, 3 SB rings, ran for 1,000 behind a crappy line in Arizona while Derrick Hambrick didn't behind Dallas' o-line. Barry has the NFL record for most negative yards 1,114 add that to his positive and he is still only #2 . . . . .stop taking the "IF ONLY" pill!
lol ur a dumb ass. barry was at 15500 (rounded the hundreds) on 10 seasons. It took Emmit 15 seasons to rush for 18,somethin. Barry woulda got more yards had he played longer-to bad hes not greedy lil' fuck like emmit who stated (at the beggining of his career) "I'm going to get the record" barry didnt care for it. he coulda easssssilly got it. and the negative yards were because he had a crappy line (most likely crappier than the arizon cardinals line). barry had a crap team he couldnt get SB.
The fact that Sanders walked away when he was so close to the record shows how much he didn't care what people thought of him. When you are as good as him, it doesn't matter if you have a record or not. He didn't need a record he could have easily got to validate his career. He walked away when he felt it was time to do so. Emmitt held on to pad his stats, it was pathetic. Sanders walked away at the top of his game, that is class.
He wasn't a "quitter". He left b/c he didn't have the passion for the game, and didn't stay just to break a record, which is a decision I can respect.
Please, Emmitt is the most over rated rb. Lordvalium thinks his line was bad? Sure, it was all Emmitt, and his "rice of passage". He can't string 5 words together that make sense. Conjugate your verbs please... then again don't, because watching clips like this is very amusing. He has a BA from Florida? What a joke.
Excuse me people, but can we focus here? This is about Emmitt Smith not only failing to recall the name of the NFL's best-known corners, but actually having to stop himself from calling Al Harris "Al Wilson", and then calling him "Al Jackson". There is no way to imitate Emmitt Smith...his unintentional comedic gold can only be cultivated in his uniquely bizarre(and somewhat retarded) brain.
@butterknife25 Barry Sanders had a special type of running style. Granted yes he did... but you would have to take some of the goods with the bads. But if you want to play the stat game.
He played for 10 years
and all 10 years he had 1100+ yard running seasons. Emmit?
Barry had an average of 5 yards per carry. Emmit had 4.3?
Barry had 2 MVP's... Emmit? None...?
Barry had 2000+ yard running season... Emmit? 1700?
@butterknife25 Barry Sanders didn't have the luxury of running behind arguably the greatest offensive line in NFL history, as well as having a HOF QB or WR take the pressure off of him
That O-line wasn't great until Emmitt got there and when Emmitt was out nobody else was breaking records and winning titles. Weak argument. Emmitt never quit, Barry did.
Crack adult.

please barry sanders had no less than 2 pro bowlers on his o-line at any given time through out his career.
people act like emmitt was running down the field for 30 yards before he had any contact.
