Bad quality great player.... So humble he only retired cuz some1 thought he said he wanted to retire. He should've did the Farve and came back anyway. 1 hellava player.
The MAIN reason Sanders retired while still in his prime, was because the Lions' new HC, in '98, Bobby Ross, had a LOT to do with it. He constantly complained and whined to the media how Barry would skip mini camps and not show up for some practices. His previous and first HC, Wayne Fontes, KNEW that Sanders was his meal ticket, and let Barry be Barry. Sanders could not stomach Ross' militaristic style of coaching. Had it been any other HC, Barry may have played a few more seasons.
barry sanders is waaaaay better than emmit smith..... emmit actually had a o line and a qb barry didnt have shit and fuckin beasted... barry could have stayed in the league a lot longer and broke the record but he didnt care about records
Look Barry had some help.his wr's weren't slouches. Everybody picks on his o-line. But I would rather have lomas brown and Kevin glover than a lot of guys( including raiola and backus). The biggest problem was to me just like now was the defense especially the secondary even with Bennie blades back their just like now with delmas
if barry sanders played 2 more season (total of 12, 1 less than emmitt) and equaled his lowest seasons yardage (1115 in 93 of which he only played 11 games) he still would have more career yardage than emmitt. Most likely barry would have gotten about 3000 yards give or take over those next 2 years and would have rushing record and over 18000 career yardage. Emmitt has the record, but everyone who knows about football knows it was Barry's record to take and make unreachable, if he chose to.
why why....WHY does Emmitts name keep getting brought up when the ethereal Barry is mentioned? Please stop tainting this great running back with 'Smith nonsense'. Emmitt obviously is talented, as are many running backs. You have to brake away from state papers and WATCH ....just watch.
i hate this song theres something freaky bout it, sounds fucked up but tyhats how i feel bout this this crap tune. it is the craziest shit, has othing to do with a good tune anything nothing near it.
@choua1855 if you had to explain to someone who has never heard of football or who has not been exposed or never watched any games just show them the clips of Barry Sanders and they'd be in awe.
@21mitch4 13 you dumbass, emmitt didn't even play 16 years, and it didn't take him his whole career to break the record you faggot. please learn about football before posting
@IVXXBrousseau420 You don't know football either. Barry had good players on his team. Also, the Lions went to the playoffs 5 times in Barry's career. Any team that can make it to the playoffs that many times is not carried by one person who averages 10 TD's a year. And I never compared the two of them... I don't know why you decided to. I was just correcting someone who had no knowledge of football, as I am doing now.
@Laxlegend1 The reason people question your knowledge is your silly comments.
All the pros will say Barry did the most with the LEAST amount of help than any back in history. So you know more than the people that play Pro football, the people that played against him and with him? You sound like your in total denial.
@goblin072 I saw both runningbacks play... And, while Barry is still an all-time great, he is not the G.O.A.T. If you read the stats, you would think he is, but the stats don't tell the whole truth. Much similar to Chris Johnson, Barry would carry the ball for 2 yds or less for more than 50% of his rushes, then he would break a big rush which would then inflate his stats. Hence him having most negative yds. Barry hurt his team a lot of their drives, forcing them into 3rd and long situations.
@goblin072 Barry did this throughout his ENTIRE career. People continue to ignore these stats because he is so damn flashy out there, that you forget that he isn't as good as people make him to be. You can ask any NFL player if a RB that constantly gains no yds or negative yds if they are good. They will tell you no. Also, Barry played in a division with the worst defenses in the league at the time. That is why he sucked in the playoffs.
@Laxlegend1 You've already been owned by many of the comments in response. I remember one playoff game where Lambeau field got the best of Barry. It was muddy and when he went to plant, his feet would just slide out from under him. Then there was the other game against Tampa Bay where the coaching staff decided to try and use him as a decoy. The first words out of Warren Sapp's mouth when it was over was "Thank you for using Barry as a decoy!"
@goblin072 He excelled against bad teams, then when they made it to the playoffs, he would crumble and do nothing because he can't play against a high ranked defense.
@Laxlegend1 Have another smoke off your crack pipe.
Barry use to eat Tampa Bay for lunch. They crushed them during regular season. Then got beat because of SCOTT Mitchel playing terrible. The Qb was either good or terrible no inbetween. So much for your theory. Same Defense he face twice earlier. Not hard to play the run when the QB is self destructing.
I watched all the games. Vs the Jets when he broke 2K big game and he played well. I can make any back look bad using your logic.
@Laxlegend1 please take into concideration he did not have an offensive line nor even an offense it was just him everybody even the pros say that every yard he got was his doing alone who knows if he had an line to block for him he probaly would had demolished the record , in his ten year career he was in striking distance of the record in ten years it took emmit thirteen years to break it think bout that
@Laxlegend1 Or maybe it was the Lions QBs throwing 6 INTs vs the Eagles in 1994 or the defense giving up 41 points to the Redskins in 1991. And as for your comment on Barry not facing good defenses in that division. Chicago had Singletary, Dent, Hampton, McMichael. Green Bay were SB champs with Reggie White and LeRoy Butler, Tampa Bay had Sapp, Brooks and Lynch. Minnesota had the best DL in the NFL with Doleman, Randle and Millard and Barry ripped them apart for 220yds and 4 TD in 1991
@pharry4life yeah true the problem is people wont admit that Barry was the best or one of the best, Emmit Smith keeps emerging as a better back for some reason, granted he was good but he was no Barry...
emmit had a line.. quarterback.. wide recievers... had a whole team..
Barry sanders just had himself...
by far Barry Sanders was the best running back next to walter payton in my opinion...
Lets look at it this way... just put emmit or any running back on the detroit lions to imagine wat happends. no back can do wat barry did for detriot..
@nnnnnate Emmitt took 13 seasons to break the record. Sanders probably would have done it in his 11th. He was about 1,400 yds short of the record while averaging 99.7 yds per game. If he kept up that average he would have passed Payton around Week 15 of the 1999 season. Sadly he retired in July of that year.
actually they did in one of the games I forgot this way way back it might have been for PS1 or sega genesis but I remember while playing him one would be able to acquire tons of yardage..... Barry was the best!!!
@infernal911 Im telling the truth. I made it under the name Skippyjj20 and I used clips form a video titled, "Barry" that every clip in that video is from. I also tried to upload that video in sections and they flagged me for that too. The original had music from 300 "Returns a King" by Tyler Bates, "A New Game" By Tom Henneman (sp?) its from NFL Films music and the theme from LAst of the Mohicans after the Spielman segment. My uncle is Wayne Fontes so ive been a Barry fan forever.
does anybody else find it wierd how much faster he moves than everybody else, it's like their running in slow motion compared to him, iver never seen any player besides barry at the nfl level do that, that's what makes barry the best in my eyes
@chargerfan4life21 yeah good point, speed kills but you have other players who are as fast now, like Chris Johnson... to me the thing that makes Barry unique is his ability to juke, and elude other players which was an great compliment to his unbelievable quickness...
@makaveli84 There is a whole lot to Barry that was unique. Look at his legs. That foundation right there let him do crazy cuts and jukes other guys could only dream of. Then his balance and that weird video game slo mo capability of his where you see five guys around him who have a chance to jump on him, but look like they are in slo mo while he's figuring out what he wants to do.
Barry was my favorite player, I can remember when I was young he was my sports hero. It's a shame he retired/on a crappy team. I remember hearing that he didn't really want to retire the lions just wouldn't trade him so he sat out got payed and never came back, I also remember there was talk he wanted to play in miami with Dan Marino wouldn't that a been something.
It was a blessing to see every game that barry played in, win or lose it was an honor and i will always remember him as "The Best" runner to play the game!!
@utfanjr yeah Barry said he didnt want it to be all about the record while he was playing.... also he said I heard somewhere 2 that he wanted to leave on his own terms kind of like Tupac :D
He did help make them better but it was the Herschel Walker trade that turned the Cowboys into a dominant team. Johnson nailed nearly every pick he got from the Vikings. It rebuilt Dallas in a hurry.
C'mon. Seriously people. What Barry did in his brief ten seasons in the NFL is completely unmatchable. Pair that with having a worthless offensive line (watch any Barry clip, there's defenders in the backfield before he gets the ball almost every time) and it becomes quite clear how amazing this guy was. If he would have played 3-4 more seasons, he would easily be the all-time leading rusher
um first of all ur wrong Barry Sanders still to this day has the record for the most 100 yrd games so you cant say that and Barry averaged 5 yrds a carry to
sanders may have the most 100yrd games, but sanders didn't average 100 per game JIM BROWN is the only back who did! look it up BROWN averaged more yrds per carry! JIM BROWN won the MVP AWARD 3 TIMES!
He came pretty damn close though at 99.7 ypg which is still the 2nd highest ever for RBs with at least 1,000 carries. His ypc is 2nd only to Brown at 5.0 for backs over 1,000 carries. You could make a strong argument that Sanders played in a much stronger era than Brown. Brown was the most dominant runner, but Barry was simply the better runner.
lol i gave you facts to back my case,you dont have any! dont bring up era! jim brown played with fewer rules and few pads & fewer games, tell DICK BUCKUS he's soft! plus brown had to deal with racism & death threats barry didnt!
I gave you facts. Brown was clearly ahead of his time but the players Barry faced were bigger, faster and stronger. Brown also played on a dominat team with 3 future HOF offensive linemen. Look at the numbers Wilt Chamberlain (avg 50pts and 25reb one year) and Oscar Robertson were putting up in the NBA during the same time as Brown played in the NFL. There is no way all of them do the same in the 90's because of the DEPTH of competiton was so much higher. Barry never faced slow 230lb D.Linemen.
I had season tickets in detroit 89-92 now I live in sandiego barry sanders or Ladaian tomlinson 100% barry sanders the best ever I just wish he play 5 more years
only woulda taken him three to secure the record for good, his yds per season, 1526, that puts him at almost 20,000 yds in 13 seasons,,, (AP will be lucky to hit 13,000 in 10, and thats a stretch,), i miss the action, but i understand why he left the nfl,
I agree mosta that but idk about that AP statement. With Brett Favre he won't get as many carries but even then Brett isn't going to be around much longer and he had nearly 1800 yards last year, he's on track for about 1400 + yards this season. But with his physical style I'm sure he'll slow down a bit. We'll see.
I met him at a book signing once some years after he retired. even then you wouldnt believe how big he was not tall but his legs were like trees. its no wonder he went right through arm tackles. if he ever took martial arts he would proly kick a hole right through someone.
i used to be at the silverdome just to watch him.. why did he retire b4 hi def ..this guy would have blown my screen up..lol. Barry is the best..noone better!
I always felt bad for barry b/c of how bad his team was. Kind of how I feel for Stephen Jackson this year. Then again, can Jackson even be mentioned in the same paragraph as Barry?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's easy to take this guy for granted. I'd stack Barry's runs for losses up against just about any other great running back's 50 yard scores...because some of the best runs of alltime are Barry Sanders' losses...
Hard to say who is the best of alltime...but Barry is a legend.
yeah but there's no one other then Bo that on any given play you know he could take it to the house!! at a mater of fact give Berry a line and we wouldn't even be debatin on whose the alltime back is...
Posting a video of Barry Sanders clips is almost cheating in YouTube. You're video should always get 5 stars! Barry is da man. For some reason he reminds me of a great honorable samurai.
Adrian Peterson has an offensive line, Barry Sanders didn't. That's what makes him the best running back ever. If Lions wouldn't have been such a failure he would have stormed by Walter Payton's record...
Played 5 of his 10 years in the run and shoot (4 receiver sets). After 1991 he lost two of his best linemen...1 paralyzed, the other hit and killed by a truck while mowing his lawn. Best QB he ever had...toss up between a healthy Scott Mitchel and Eric Kramer.
When he actually reached the line of scrimmage (which wasn't all the time) he averaged 6.5 yards per carry.
Statistically Jim Brown is the only RB in the same room with Barry and he played for better teams.
@Prytonis also no disrespect to Jim Brown, but when he played majority of the players were white, and JB was maybe one of the biggest players on the field, so far less competition, again Jim Brown was a top notch running one of the best, but yeah had to include that too. But when Barry played the competition was more fierce. Some of the players Barry had to play against, Bruce Smith, Reggie White, John Randle, Junior Seau, Derrick Thomas, Kevin Greene, Deion Sanders,Rod Woodson,Ronnie Lott ect.
There are so many things that make him the best.Things that people don't know or mention...803 consecutive carries before he fumbled at one point,player with most TD's of 50 yds or longer.Only player to have 2 80 yard TD runs in a game.I am sure there are more that I don't know either.I do remember the first game of the season one year in Pittsburgh and he was heading down the sideline with Rod Woodson coming to make the tackle.He never touched Barry got juked and tore his ACL
Don't forget how bad his line was, he had a total of over 1000 yards for loss, most of any runningback. He is to runningbacks what Brett Favre is to QBs.
I do agree about the lost yardage or actually should say know it is a fact but he only played 10 seasons and accumulated the stats you can read now.His yards per carry even with the losses are only matched by Jim Brown at 5 yds per carry.Favre did what he did over a very long time and Emmitt Smith too.I'm not arguing any point just stating how great he was and left maybe too soon but no matter what he was electric to watch.
yeah, i'd have to agree with you, he is the greatest... his legs were like huge tree trunks you know? he was incredibly flexable, and low to the ground.
Being with the unsatisfying jail of the Detroit Lions, he found he had lost his love of the game and of rushing. He didn't play for the records or the money or the women or the parties, he played for the love of the game, and the Lions Deprived him from that by forcing him to make these amazing plays, while not creating a team to win, a team that would go far. He carried that team and when the weight finally broke him, he lost his love of the game, don't blame him for not wanting to love thegame
Seriously..was this sped up around 7:20-7:25, if not you should see how fast he is and what makes it even better he could change direction quicker than anyone at that speed....
Buffalo Bills running back Thurman Thomas, the only man Sanders ever played behind (for one year at Oklahoma State), explained Sanders' greatness: "He didn't take a big hit. Guys were off-balance playing against him. Barry's was in a Michael Jordan-like zone. He was electrifying."
One of greatest RB of all time BAR NONE

@makaveli84 There is a whole lot to Barry that was unique. Look at his legs. That foundation right there let him do crazy cuts and jukes other guys could only dream of. Then his balance and that weird video game slo mo capability of his where you see five guys around him who have a chance to jump on him, but look like they are in slo mo while he's figuring out what he wants to do.

Barry was my favorite player, I can remember when I was young he was my sports hero. It's a shame he retired/on a crappy team. I remember hearing that he didn't really want to retire the lions just wouldn't trade him so he sat out got payed and never came back, I also remember there was talk he wanted to play in miami with Dan Marino wouldn't that a been something.

He did help make them better but it was the Herschel Walker trade that turned the Cowboys into a dominant team. Johnson nailed nearly every pick he got from the Vikings. It rebuilt Dallas in a hurry.

C'mon. Seriously people. What Barry did in his brief ten seasons in the NFL is completely unmatchable. Pair that with having a worthless offensive line (watch any Barry clip, there's defenders in the backfield before he gets the ball almost every time) and it becomes quite clear how amazing this guy was. If he would have played 3-4 more seasons, he would easily be the all-time leading rusher

akvalues 2 years ago
He came pretty damn close though at 99.7 ypg which is still the 2nd highest ever for RBs with at least 1,000 carries. His ypc is 2nd only to Brown at 5.0 for backs over 1,000 carries. You could make a strong argument that Sanders played in a much stronger era than Brown. Brown was the most dominant runner, but Barry was simply the better runner.
echo6161 2 years ago
lol i gave you facts to back my case,you dont have any! dont bring up era! jim brown played with fewer rules and few pads & fewer games, tell DICK BUCKUS he's soft! plus brown had to deal with racism & death threats barry didnt!
akvalues 2 years ago
I gave you facts. Brown was clearly ahead of his time but the players Barry faced were bigger, faster and stronger. Brown also played on a dominat team with 3 future HOF offensive linemen. Look at the numbers Wilt Chamberlain (avg 50pts and 25reb one year) and Oscar Robertson were putting up in the NBA during the same time as Brown played in the NFL. There is no way all of them do the same in the 90's because of the DEPTH of competiton was so much higher. Barry never faced slow 230lb D.Linemen.

only woulda taken him three to secure the record for good, his yds per season, 1526, that puts him at almost 20,000 yds in 13 seasons,,, (AP will be lucky to hit 13,000 in 10, and thats a stretch,), i miss the action, but i understand why he left the nfl,
deebodeez2 2 years ago
I agree mosta that but idk about that AP statement. With Brett Favre he won't get as many carries but even then Brett isn't going to be around much longer and he had nearly 1800 yards last year, he's on track for about 1400 + yards this season. But with his physical style I'm sure he'll slow down a bit. We'll see.

It's easy to take this guy for granted. I'd stack Barry's runs for losses up against just about any other great running back's 50 yard scores...because some of the best runs of alltime are Barry Sanders' losses...
Hard to say who is the best of alltime...but Barry is a legend.

Adrian Peterson has an offensive line, Barry Sanders didn't. That's what makes him the best running back ever. If Lions wouldn't have been such a failure he would have stormed by Walter Payton's record...

Played 5 of his 10 years in the run and shoot (4 receiver sets). After 1991 he lost two of his best linemen...1 paralyzed, the other hit and killed by a truck while mowing his lawn. Best QB he ever had...toss up between a healthy Scott Mitchel and Eric Kramer.
When he actually reached the line of scrimmage (which wasn't all the time) he averaged 6.5 yards per carry.
Statistically Jim Brown is the only RB in the same room with Barry and he played for better teams.
Prytonis 2 years ago 12
@Prytonis also no disrespect to Jim Brown, but when he played majority of the players were white, and JB was maybe one of the biggest players on the field, so far less competition, again Jim Brown was a top notch running one of the best, but yeah had to include that too. But when Barry played the competition was more fierce. Some of the players Barry had to play against, Bruce Smith, Reggie White, John Randle, Junior Seau, Derrick Thomas, Kevin Greene, Deion Sanders,Rod Woodson,Ronnie Lott ect.

There are so many things that make him the best.Things that people don't know or mention...803 consecutive carries before he fumbled at one point,player with most TD's of 50 yds or longer.Only player to have 2 80 yard TD runs in a game.I am sure there are more that I don't know either.I do remember the first game of the season one year in Pittsburgh and he was heading down the sideline with Rod Woodson coming to make the tackle.He never touched Barry got juked and tore his ACL
metallicat63 2 years ago 4
Don't forget how bad his line was, he had a total of over 1000 yards for loss, most of any runningback. He is to runningbacks what Brett Favre is to QBs.
infernal911 2 years ago
I do agree about the lost yardage or actually should say know it is a fact but he only played 10 seasons and accumulated the stats you can read now.His yards per carry even with the losses are only matched by Jim Brown at 5 yds per carry.Favre did what he did over a very long time and Emmitt Smith too.I'm not arguing any point just stating how great he was and left maybe too soon but no matter what he was electric to watch.

Being with the unsatisfying jail of the Detroit Lions, he found he had lost his love of the game and of rushing. He didn't play for the records or the money or the women or the parties, he played for the love of the game, and the Lions Deprived him from that by forcing him to make these amazing plays, while not creating a team to win, a team that would go far. He carried that team and when the weight finally broke him, he lost his love of the game, don't blame him for not wanting to love thegame
