@EconAtheist Thanks, I've gotten some flak over the song. But a friend who is a big Browns fan requested the song for this. He said Brown was "More Human than Human" so I made the video for him. Then decided to put it on youtube and let it roll. lol
@dlewis1727 Ya know, plus the guy just wasn't a fumbler, either... and with all those 1-arm carries... using the other to deliver blows to defenders. The one @ the 1:34 mark cracks me up for some reason.
I can only think of one person who has run like Jim Brown since he retired and that's all-time rushing record-holder Emmitt Smith. He was 5.9, 216. Brown was 6'2, 232. Sick.
Amazing talent. Only down side is that he'd probably average 3 fumbles a game the way he holds the ball and the way players today try and hit it loose.
@Furtraderrim Right cause he wasn't getting hit by an average of like 5 people per play... lol. This is an era before personal fouls and roughing. He took as big a beating as anyone whose ever played the game and just kept ticking. His carrying technique is textbook btw, he switched carrying hand properly and everything. When he's not dragging 3 tacklers around with him that is.
@knowyourenemies7 Actually, he didn't take as big a beating as anyone back in those days. I'm amazed looking at this at just how he manages to avoid having a defender take a good shot at him. I don't think there was a single one in this entire compilation. I kept expecting to see some Earl Campbell run 'em over action, but instead he was just elusive enough.
@cwhitney1972 He had an incredible mix of power ,speed and agility. And he breaks at least 20 tackles in this video. @1:15 where he's getting tackled by about 10 detroit lions. Granted NFL defenders of that generation, while just as mean and violent, weren't attempting to kill their fellow players by ramming their helmets into the other persons helmet. He gets hit plenty hard, defenders just actually tried to tackle him by his waist and legs because going high on jim brown meant getting trucked
@EconAtheist He was as good an athlete as graced a field in that generation ya. And he wouldn't be too much smaller than today's D-linemen either. DEs are normally around 300lbs or less, he was around 250.
@knowyourenemies7 I thought he was more like 235 but the point stands. Dude was just a fantastic athlete. Imagine if he'd gone and have played out a ~15 yr career... wow.
@EconAtheist Ya, Dirty Dozen was an awesome movie though. But ya, I can't put any RB above him. Barry and OJ are the closest. Walter, Gale and Emmit were good but not in the same class imo.
James Brown was a true force of nature...just found it in Wikipedia that he did not play beyond 29 years.. And yet he created every possible record in rushing...this truly is greatness running right at the defensive players and getting past them... the last TD is beyond ridiculous.. it should probably be voted the greatest rushing TD of ALL TIME !
a week ago I was watching a documentary about Hugh Hefner ("Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel") , there is a part where they talk about the show "Playboy After Dark" ; Jim Brown was there talking.
3:36 what a hit, and he kept running....son of a beast!
If that last run happened today it would be none stop on Sports Center for an entire week. Actually why that last run isn't show on Sports Center on Jim Browns Birthday is beyond me.
Jim Murray on Jim Brown: "I want to borrow Jim Brown's body for three days, because there are three guys I want to beat up, and three women I want to make love to." I wish my Cowboys would borrow Jim Brown's body for the next three seasons.....
I love clips like this because it completely contradicts the non-sense that the "art of tackling" has been lost. The truth is that there has never been an art of tackling. Jim Brown was an incredible running back, but some of these clips look like a middle school team helplessly chasing him around. Again, not trying to diminish Jim, just saying the idea that tackling used to be so much better than it is now is an embellishment.
@Getin2LowinATL While it's true that the tackling used to be much worse, Jim Brown still looked much better than every other RB running against the same weak tackling. Sports is much more of a science now and the level of competition has evened out to a large degree. In the 50s and 60s when players still smoked cigs during halftime and showed up drunk, a physical freak with a tough work ethic could look much more dominant.
@Getin2LowinATL I was thinking the same, but this is such an extraordinary sample of old school tackling. Perhaps most of these defensive players knew that trying to wrap up Jim Brown was as futile as riding a bronc with no saddle. But I really don't know. In any case, I'm frustrated with the no arms 'tackling' that we see every week.
@Getin2LowinATL@Getin2LowinATL Dude, you've clearly never played a tackle sport. These guys aren't bad tacklers, they're little boys trying to tackle a man. When you're that strong and that fast with that kind of acceleration, it's a tackler's nightmare. You can't square him up and form tackle because he's always got a sidestep or a stiff arm, and if you aren't squared up it's strength against strength, and you ALWAYS lose that battle against a grizzly.
Great point. Now can we get some clips of WRs from this era dropping passes? According to my father, no receiver from the 60s or 70s ever dropped a pass, ever. I always tell him he's full of shit.
some people do not realize how good the browns were back in the old days nice vid and this just proves that jim brown is the best running back ever go browns!
lets imagine how good Brown would have been today with the year round training, lifting, supplements we have today, so tack on more speed and power..damn..
How could I have slept on Jim Brown.Barry Sanders is amazing but Jim Brown was truly a run away freight Train.When they "could" catch him, it took literally half the team to bring him down.Forgive me Jim
My uncle played linebacker against Jim Brown in high school and on the third play of the game Jim Brown ran up the gut and broke my uncles nose. There has never been more proud man to have gotten his nose broken.
Jim Brown will always be among the best RBs of all-time.
When you are 50 years older, and your grandkids say, "Tomlinson was good, because he was playing against slower, less-skilled competition." What will you say? You might tend to agree, but that won't change your perception of how great he has been. Athletes will always continue to progress in terms of athleticism. I would bet in 2030 the most GIFTED RB will be 6-0, 245 lbs., running 4.25 40-yard dash and repping 225 lbs. 45 times on bench.
Like it or not, someday OUR generations players will look like merely average athletes. It's hard to believe now, just like 30, 40, 50+ years ago people thought "these are the best athletes anyone will ever see." Never downcast anyone's accomplishments because of their competition. It's the way they dominated their era that matters.
no, no , no ,no! Jim Brown was more like a FB in todays game, but in the 60s we was like an AP Barry sanders is like a HB. So you cant say who is really better. They placed with different styles. Jim Brown played with power. Barry played with evasiveness. Two Completely different things
Brown is basically Jamal Lewis in the 50/60s.Look how bad those guys are tackling.Football players back then wont even full time athletes & very undersized & very slow.You could put an average back now back then & he'll dominate.Do u really he could do that against Ray Lewis,Willis,Ware, Polamalu,Julius Peppers,Jared Allen,Kevin Williams or C.Mat thews?Lol I dont. These are way bigger, stronger & faster.Lol even Brandon Jacobs is way bigger than the olinemen back then.Diff ballgame today
@hitek9wittafulclip correct, but it's not fair to compare different eras. Guys in that era didn't even lift weights. Brown was really the first RB to come along who dominated the competition. Yes, most NFL players at the time were much smaller, but there still weren't many players who dominated like Brown. Of course a modern NFL star would have dominated back then. The training regimen is superior. But had Jim Brown played today, he would also be training the same way the modern guys do.
@hitek9wittafulclip yes it is a different game today. the defensive players are barely allowed to hit like the players back in jim brown's day. players today get fined just for touching a qb's helmet. back then was a much much rougher game. and the players looked bad tackling because jim brown made them look bad. brown would have dominated today's game just as he did then. he was without a doubt the greatest running back in history. jamal lewis? really?
To ALL those claiming Jim Brown's era had smaller defenses compared to today, understand it's ALL RELATIVE. Rules were worse back then (horse collars, helmet hits, cut blocking, close lining) WERE ALL LEGAL or loosely restricted. NO turf, worse equipment, heavier equipment, no supplements. You say smaller defensive players against J. Brown?... I say smaller O-line blocking FOR him. Get a clue young Youtubers, Jim Brown at 5.2 ypc, ONLY 9 years and only 12 or 14 games per season IS THE BEST !!!
@Techspert Not as many African-Americans had been accepted into the league unlike the rivaling AFL (Unfair to Cookie Gilcrest) Nor had Polynesians truly hit the scene yet...so Throw in a Ray Lewis here and a Troy Polamamu there and bam football is now twice as painful
A young boy says to his dad, "Dad, you always talk about Jim Brown, if he was so great, so if he was playing today, how many yard per game would he get.?" The says, "Well, I think he'd get about 75 yards per game." The boy says, "75 yards per game? That's not so great" And the dad says, "Well son, you have to remember, he's 73 years old now."
anyone who can bring a championship to cleveland is a god at his sport. Lebron and so many others couldn't, even furture hall of famers in all three major sports
@bootysweat44 Yes, running back is term for fullback or halfback, Jim Brown was a fullback, like Barry Sanders was a halfback, but both where running backs.
nobody has ever done the type of things he did. He looked the kid who lied about his age at the rec league. He looked like he was beating up high schoolers out there.
i love the way he runs the rock, so mad and angry, the nfl needs more running backs with this style. Although there will never be another jim brown, I guess we have AP he's got a style alot like jim brown.
sorry but i would take LT, Faulk or Bo jackson in their prime over this guy any day. different game back then, he wouldn't be nearly as effective as any of the aforementioned players if he strapped up against the new eras athletes
@sweetpotatoass You meant to say that you would take this guy over LT, Faulk or Bo Jackson in their prime. He wouldn't be nearly as effective as any of the aforementioned players if he strapped up against the new eras athletes? Jim Brown would have 3,000 yards by mid season in this soft era of football.
@sweetpotatoass I'll have whatever you're having. The game was different back then, true. It was harder to run, defenses had more liberties, defenders could rip your head off whenever they wanted, they never played in air conditioner, the list goes on. Yeah, very different indeed. We're talking about the greatest RB/player to ever lived, not a one year wonder. Theres only 2 numbers I need, 5.2 yds. per carry, 104.3 yds. per game. Until theres a player with better numbers, he'll remain THE best.
There was no Super Bowl in 1964. The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 between Green Bay and Kansas City. What the Cleveland Browns and Jim Brown won in 1964 was the NFL Championship Game.
I've been wondering for decades if my childhood memories of Jim Brown as the best running back ever hold up to the modern game. After seeing this...yep. Watch that last play again...
See how you never see him run out of bounds on purpose. That's a real man, fighting for every down he can get, unlike the diva RB we have in the NFL now
A hundred years from now when just the corners are 6"6 250 it's gonna be 2-hand tap, and if you get a bubu you'll be out for the season the way things are going. If RBs now played then would get smahed. If JB and the nutrition and coaching he'd be 6"2 250 running a 4.3ish. He'd have as many yards as Mannig or Brady passes almost lol. Especially with the 90s cowboys line.
Walter Payton was from a different era my nigga and played 6 more years than Brown. Look at Walter Paytons averages yards per carry 4.4 88.8 a game rushin compared to 5.2 and 104.00 a game!!! Brown dominated his time while Payton was running with other Legends go you can go check the stats you cant compare it.
@RonyMexico Lets compare shall we? Jim Brown only played 9 seasons and the seasons back then were only 12 games long. In those 9 season he ran for 12,312 yards and 106 touchdowns. While Payton played for 13 seasons of 16 game long seasons. He ran for 16,726 yards and 110 touchdowns. Also add the fact that back in the 50s-60s in Brown's time there weren't as many rules so defenders could do whatever the hell they wanted. And Jim Brown quit his career early in his prime.
Jim Brown is the greatest running back ever because he retired on the top of his game having all the records and a superbowl title to his name what else more could he of accomplished!? Makes me proud to be from Cleveland
@blackbeauty528 You're a faggot. Look it up, there was no Super Bowl in '64. God you are the dumbest piece of shit I've ever seen, the Browns have never even made it to the Super Bowl.
@rebelslayer13 your dumbest piece of shit comment should reflect on your knowledge of what is real and what is not, true the browns did not win the "superbowl" in 64 but they won the "NFL CHAMPIONSHIP" in 64 its two in the same meaning you are just wasting ur pathetic breath talking all that nonsense!!!
@blackbeauty528 2 small corrections. 1st, there were no Superbowls back then, it was simply the NFL championship(which is the same thing I'm just saying). And second, and most important, he wasn't only the greatest running back ever, he IS the greatest player to ever step foot in the NFL. Nobody, regardless of it's position, has accomplished what Jim did in only 9 years, nor had anybody the impact Jim had when he stepped on the field. Actually, nobody comes close to what he did, not even #80.

Get a clue young Youtubers, Jim Brown at 5.2 ypc, ONLY 9 years and only 12 or 14 games per season IS THE BEST !!!

A young boy says to his dad, "Dad, you always talk about Jim Brown, if he was so great, so if he was playing today, how many yard per game would he get.?" The says, "Well, I think he'd get about 75 yards per game." The boy says, "75 yards per game? That's not so great" And the dad says, "Well son, you have to remember, he's 73 years old now."

@bootysweat44 Yes, running back is term for fullback or halfback, Jim Brown was a fullback, like Barry Sanders was a halfback, but both where running backs.

@sweetpotatoass You meant to say that you would take this guy over LT, Faulk or Bo Jackson in their prime. He wouldn't be nearly as effective as any of the aforementioned players if he strapped up against the new eras athletes? Jim Brown would have 3,000 yards by mid season in this soft era of football.

@sweetpotatoass I'll have whatever you're having. The game was different back then, true. It was harder to run, defenses had more liberties, defenders could rip your head off whenever they wanted, they never played in air conditioner, the list goes on. Yeah, very different indeed. We're talking about the greatest RB/player to ever lived, not a one year wonder. Theres only 2 numbers I need, 5.2 yds. per carry, 104.3 yds. per game. Until theres a player with better numbers, he'll remain THE best.

There was no Super Bowl in 1964. The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 between Green Bay and Kansas City. What the Cleveland Browns and Jim Brown won in 1964 was the NFL Championship Game.

A hundred years from now when just the corners are 6"6 250 it's gonna be 2-hand tap, and if you get a bubu you'll be out for the season the way things are going. If RBs now played then would get smahed. If JB and the nutrition and coaching he'd be 6"2 250 running a 4.3ish. He'd have as many yards as Mannig or Brady passes almost lol. Especially with the 90s cowboys line.

Walter Payton was from a different era my nigga and played 6 more years than Brown. Look at Walter Paytons averages yards per carry 4.4 88.8 a game rushin compared to 5.2 and 104.00 a game!!! Brown dominated his time while Payton was running with other Legends go you can go check the stats you cant compare it.
blackbeauty528 4 months ago
@RonyMexico Lets compare shall we? Jim Brown only played 9 seasons and the seasons back then were only 12 games long. In those 9 season he ran for 12,312 yards and 106 touchdowns. While Payton played for 13 seasons of 16 game long seasons. He ran for 16,726 yards and 110 touchdowns. Also add the fact that back in the 50s-60s in Brown's time there weren't as many rules so defenders could do whatever the hell they wanted. And Jim Brown quit his career early in his prime.

adamyo24 3 months ago
@blackbeauty528 2 small corrections. 1st, there were no Superbowls back then, it was simply the NFL championship(which is the same thing I'm just saying). And second, and most important, he wasn't only the greatest running back ever, he IS the greatest player to ever step foot in the NFL. Nobody, regardless of it's position, has accomplished what Jim did in only 9 years, nor had anybody the impact Jim had when he stepped on the field. Actually, nobody comes close to what he did, not even #80.
