THE GREATEST BARRY SANDERS

[bmxlozer24]

barry is no. 1 hands down, im a fan of the lions cuz im from detroit (despite this season)

[NextWorldApparel]

Emmitt played with the 2 headed monster of Irvin n Harper n,tho he's overrated he had Aikman for a qb.You couldnt just put 8 guys in the box and focus on Emmitt.Emmitt is hall of fame material but he's still not in the convo as best with Barry.He's not even top 5. Barry,Payton,Dickerson,Jim Brown,Earl Campbell in that order.Sayers and Emmitt are a close 6 & 7

[sonjaxfactor]

Gayle Sayers and this man. INSANE hips.

[chavez33gambit]

there are 2 RB who where the best of all time they are , barry sanders, walter payton, they all had somthing special to bring to the game,barry sanders smart quick thinker even quicker with his feet, walter payton, where do i begin with him, what a bruser he was, he was nothing but power, run right over you, to me there both a even, no one was realy better then the other

[chavez33gambit]

hmmm i dont think so, no doubt he was good but he wasent the best

[Budakai11]

barry greatest RB if you can say that you dont know shit about the game...

[thereaper7745]

@eskimomarx you stupid a lions fan as myself i know he never led them to the playofs cause there defense sucked

[eskimomarx]

@thereaper7745 I saw Barry play in a playoff game in 1997 in Tampa Bay. I think they made the playoffs a couple other times within that mid 90's run. Needless to say though, you are right. Their defense held them back from advancing out of the first round.

[chavez33gambit]

hmm i dont thing barry was the best,,,, cause when you go up to people and ask who was the greatest running back of all time they say walter payton,,you rarely here about barry

[abudi20]

Um, ESPN did a fan poll of the greatest running back and Barry was the clear #1 by total fan vote.

[51iohC]

great running backs like walter payton and emmit smith have one thing in common.. they played with great teams with good blockers.

barry sanders was mostly by himself.

[allMADDEN619]

yea, if barry played with a good team he would actually go to win a superbowl.

[OmegaRidley91]

kill plus even wit da line emmit had his ass aint neva come close 2 200 yd season so get da fuck wit dat Both were good both helped thier team Barry just had 2 work harder 2 get a win for da DL

[moreno313]

i wish they never took barry down from that building. and now they have some dumb ass dolphins up there dont make any sense to me.

[splendid1000]

Rabih Abdullah i meant to say, i read that article wrong.

[splendid1000]

Emmitt is mediocre next to Sanders

[NV1ExecutoR]

shitty song it dont go with the video

[RayPaterson]

How u gonna put some shitty song over Barry Sanders.. discrace...

[ebaker75]

its funny because you watch video's of those 3 rb's you mentioned and your absolutely right...they ran hard righttt THROUGH the HOLES the offensive lines provided them...you watch video of Barry and there were holes few and far between!

[rbn912]

We'll never know how good his O-line truly was because most of the time Sanders wouldn't even try to hit the line because he had no balls. He just CHOSE to dance around like a scared little mouse, probably because he was scared as shit. Smith, Payton, and Brown all put their heads down and ran like bulls, not mice. I'll take anyone of those three over Sanders. By the way, he's a quitter, and that's undeniable.

[classicor]

are you serious? barry could run over a lot of people, but he was only 5'9, and if he could run around them, why not?

[Jaymo2k7]

You'd quit too if you bust your ass for a team that wasn't trying to win a title...Barry Sanders was smaller than those 3 guys you mentioned so to play longer he had to run like that...So you're calling guys like Warrick Dunn & Reggie Bush scared because they'll elusive?...Be Serious!!!

[ebaker75]

its funny because you watch video's of those 3 rb's you mentioned and your absolutely right...they ran hard righttt THROUGH the HOLES the offensive lines provided them...you watch video of Barry and there were holes few and far between!

[akdons3]

ur a fucking piece of shit. emmit smith can suck my fucking dick. that pussy had such a great team and everything. barry had NO team and he was fucking incredible. i cant believe u said that

[splendid1000]

CHOSE to dance? LOL, theres not much choice when a 300 pound linemen is on your ass the second u get the handoff.

[ss4gg092]

Your just jealous, ahahaha. What a lame ass, you come onto youtube and talk bad about Barry Sanders? One of the greatest players of all time, that was such a sportsmanship. Your a piece of shit man.

[Snowalker1952]

He couldn't carry Jim Brown's shoes.

[classicor]

he was better than jim brown

[jkr527]

For that idiot pimptaddy, rings are a TEAM effort. Emmit would never have done the individual stuff is he was on the lions. Barry DID THE WORK BY HIMSELF!!!

[Beast255]

Barry is the Greatest. Barry did not even play as long as Emmitt Smith. And Barry had no offense of line. He had to do all the work.

[suneku78]

Everyone knows that Sanders had to work with such a fucked up defence line back in the days. And he still amzazed so often and won yards by himself and out of nowhere. Sanders is the best running back there EVER was.

Believing that Emmit is better than Sanders is like saying that Pippen was better than Jordan.

[akdons3]

totally agree with u

[bwood600]

Emmit was a good RB however, Barry didn't have as good a front line as Emmit. However even if Emmit was on the lions, he would still be a good RB. Tough I think Barry would have probably gotten 2000 yards sooner and maybe even 2x, or have broken Paytons record before he retired.

[longhorncowboy1]

It's real sad to see a great video ruined by this jungle music.

[akdons3]

hahahahhahahahha jungle music

[Basch152]

If you switched emmitt and barry, barry would probably average near 10 yards per rush, and emmitt would be lucky to get four.

and if you think Emmitt is better than barry, than you're simply retarded.

Emitt is behind Sayers, Sanders, Brown, payton, Tomlimson, and a few others.

For you who say Payton is better than Sanders, Sanders averaged more yards than Payton did, and had a far worse team, you lose, drop it.

The only back you can try to compare to Sanders is jim brown.

[soonerfan1107]

if emmitt smith was on the lions team and barry was on the cowboys team i garuntee that the cowboys would have more than just three super bowl wins in the 90s

[spotty12177]

blah blah about emmitt smith, he's retired and done with it, and yes sanders was far superior, just make sure romo can handle a snap this year, LOL

[uhawks2]

ya real funny i hope u liked his 4 td passes and 1 rushing td you little fuck head

[runnmd]

Put Barry on those Cowyboys teams and see how many yards he gets. I guess Troy Aikman and Trent Dilfer are better than Marino cuz they have rings.

[hyperw23]

barry best ever period

[budakai1]

greatest RB ever !!!!!!!!!1

[elabudi3]

I was under the impression that the team won the rings. This is football guys, not basketball. One man can't get you a ring.

[usuckbad101]

you cant judge a player on their rings. If anything that is another reason why barry is the best. To accomplish what he did with absolutally no help from his team is amazing. All the lions were back then were a running threat. Teams would have several linebackers keyed in on him every play. Barry was the best ever.

[bigtater80]

All three of them had a great team around them. Barry was pretty much a one man show. I know for a lot of emmitt's runs he wasnt touched till 3 or 4 yards past he line of scrim. Barry was lucky to get to the line without dodging somebody

[SuperSlyWideout]

barry sanders will forever buy recognized as one of the best backs ever, fuck what the haters say if u hate barry then u hate football, period

[1olddavid]

What really pisses me off is people and their ridiculous favorite team shit. Only a willing ignorant person would think emmitt was better than barry. Emmitt ain't even top 5.

[01thao]

agree

[Tacos123]

Y'all stupid barry got more yards in like 8 years than Emmit's old ass got in like 15.

[rippeddaddy]

ll he ripeed up his contract lol he works at mcdonald in whitchita now hahaha wat a low life lol but he good he runs low

[splendid1000]

huh?

[Tictak24]

Dude emmit just played more than Barry, Barry had the best moves of all time and incredible speed. THE GREATEST BARRY SANDERS

[joojie6]

emmitt DA best

[louiethe20th]

This music is pretty pathetic, but Barry is the greatest player in College and Pro history.

[dbAmuslim]

i say barry is #1 baby

[Pandaoniman]

Celeb is out if his/her mind. Barry was the best ever-EVER! Hands down the best. One guy had a good rookie season? Barry had a GREAT year. Getting to the superbowl isn't really the pinnacle of sports achievements ya know.

[joojie6]

emmitt Da best

[DETROITCITY18144]

barry is the shit DEEEEETROIT!!!!!!!!

[Beatside101]

Barry Sanders had no team. Nor a line for that matter. HE WAS the team. HE WAS his own lineman. He made his own holes. One of the greatest, if not THE greatest. Even Schwab would agree.....

[freeza924]

he had two all pro linemen and 2 thousand yard recievers and a 800 yd receiver the year he got 2000 yds. He had a line the lions had problems with injuries in the secondary during his years in detroit. you got a computer go look it up before you repeat shyt you heard somebody else say.

[uhawks2]

the cowboys had offense in everyone. Both receivers and maybe the greatest TE ever. Emmitt still getting those yards when he is ONE of the talented guys on offense is impressive. You cant say barry is the best based off what COULD have been

[cfl990]

think about what ur saying for a second....... ur saying that emmit had other great players to key on instead of him and when teams played the lions it was only about stopping barry

[splendid1000]

COULD have? Theres no could have in a 5 ypc average. Thats the most important stat for a RB

[splendid1000]

2 all pro line men over 10 years, often only playing with one at a time. Emmitt had like 7 just in the mid nineties, along with multiple pro bowl FB Jay Novacek, and he often was playing with 3, sometimes even 4 at once.

[splendid1000]

5 at once actually

[splendid1000]

Darryl Johnston i mean, not Novacek...Im a little slow tonight....But Novacek WAS all pro TE too so....

[mlbsucksass]

That's wrong. The Bears had piss poor teams before they won the Super Bowl. If I'm not mistaken, he rushed for over 250 yards in a game with a sub 500 team. Barry was great, a one of a kind, but Walter was more of a complete back.

[CelebrityHotTub]

Jerome Bettis rushed for 212 yards in a game and 1429 for the year in his rookie season with the 5-11 Rams. So that point is moot. And after a few years, Walter's line was PHENOMENAL. Barry was better, though of course not WAY better. I'll just say Walter was a 9.5 and Barry was a 9.7. So my point is...there IS NO POINT.

[joojie6]

how many times do i have to say it EMMITT DA BEST

[g6iii]

Say it all you want, it doesn't make it true.

[ahmedpimpster]

walter is better

[wildLIFE69]

im sorry cuz but barry is way better thatn Walter Payton(R.I.P)walter had a better team and Barry didn't and he still managed to be third all time rushing and no telling where he would have been if he didn't retire so early

[rickorio7]

johndeeeerrr your wrong...his line didnt suck...you try blocking for wa guy that goes east and west 20 yards to make a five yard run

[jmood88]

are you crazy? everytime barry got the ball, as soon as there were at least 2 people in his face. that o-line was ass.

[cfl990]

he had to run around when the d line gets an immediate 2 yards of penetration

[qazplox]

i know your only fighting because you favor the other one more but come on. rings and stats dont a player. leadership and style make a player.

[qazplox]

one more thing

i know your only fighting because you favor the other one more but come on. rings and stats dont a player. leadership and style make a player.

[qazplox]

barry and payton were about about the same weight and height, but what was the difference that gave walter a ring and barry 5ypc? their legs, barry's ankles twisted and turned, and walter's could just plain run you over...stats dont make a player, it is what their bodies and minds can do to push them harder, i say they were equal, they just had different running styles, barry's style got him more ypc than walter, but barry could never run someone over like walter could

[mmartine1umichedu]

Um...are you going to ignore o lines? This kind of logic gives Emmit the record (thanks for not mentioning him btw)

No one did more with less than Mr. Barry Sanders. This is coming from someone who lived in Chi town during the Payton Nation era, and in Detroit from 87-05

[bryant1234]

gay ass music for a hall of famer just disrespectful

[fazz453]

this guy made a video about barry sanders to show his respect. what have you ever done?

[BMWfan86]

bearsfan look at the teams barry had no one. If barry was on the bears he could win more than just a ring.

[bearsfan061]

barry sanders wasnt better than payton...faster but not better.and who's got the ring?

[cheesypotato33]

The ring doesn't mean anything. He had no team around him. Payton had one of the best defenses of all time on the other side of the ball. Not to mention an offensive line. Walter Payton and Barry are close. The super bowl ring doesnt matter when you see how extreme the differences in the teams they played on were.

[uhawks2]

youre both wrong so shut up. emitt is the best of all time . you can say all you want about how barry sanders could have broken emitts record but emitts passion for the game made him the best of all time

[cheesypotato33]

Payton and Barry are both far better than Smith. You say Smith had passion for the game. Most people calling it playin til he couldn't anymore. He blew his last years. Barry averaged over 6 ypc over his career. Only him and Jim Brown have that stat. Smith had a team around him. Anyone who says Smith is better than Barry, is seriously lacking in football knowledge. Get off Smith's cock. He was really good, But he had an allstar team around him where Barry had very few players supporting him.

[uhawks2]

sorry to say but there is no stat in the stat book for " strength of team" or " what could have happened" the truth is that emmitt did what they didnt and thats not that hard to understand.

[DerekJ3031]

I am a HUGE Barry Sanders fan. He's easily my favorite athlete of any sport... but he did not average 6 yards a carry over his career... He averaged 6 yards a carry the year he went for 2,053, but was at 5.0 for his career

[CelebrityHotTub]

uhawks: "Waaaah, I only care about what the books tell me! I factor in nothing but raw stats! Oh, except for the Passion-O-Meter". You dug deep into their souls to find out who had the most passion, hmmm? Emmitt = Great. Barry = Greatest.

[joojie6]

THAT RIGHT

[Highroller33138]

Barry Sanders is the Greatest Runner God ever created, they will never be another like him..

[cfl990]

RB Calvin Johnson also has a ring so is he better that Barry???

[splendid1000]

LoL yah, RB Deshaun Foster has a ring with the Patriots, is he better than barry?

[MarkAustin316]

Foster never was a Patriot..

[Jaymo2k7]

Foster hasn't even had a 1,000 yard season, plus he's always been a Panther...Light years from Barry's league.

[splendid1000]

i was being sarcastic and i meant rabih abdullah, read my next comment

[Jaymo2k7]

Who the hell is Rabih Abdullah?

[splendid1000]

some no name rb on the pats who had a couple of carries when they won the super bowl. i was saying sarcastically is he better than barry cuz he was on a super bowl team.

[soulflexin]

sanders is the greatest, unfortunately, the song you chose, was the stupidest most insipid song I've ever heard, worse than any country song ever

[diablo313]

lol...i turned it down to mute...but good video

[kingdj711]

yo man
