fuck i went to my first football practice and holy shit i have huge respect for these guys now. I mean there are like 300 pounds mother fuckers over there and like 50 huge guys working panting and sweating its just scary be like 5'8 and still dominate. Walter payton too is a mother fucking beast
How dare anyone put Walter and Barry in the same video and thar put that gay ass lil Wayne music for it! Whoever did this go kill urself! Walter is 10x the running back over anyone!
Emmit has the record cuz he studied the best in the biz, Sweetness! As a Bears fan I still loved to see Barry run, I don't know how many times I was like, "He has the goods, Sweetness meet The Style. I always hoped that if anyone would nab the record from Walter that it would be Barry. We all know as true football fans that it was his not Emmit's. Not hatin, just sayin. Sweetness, The Style, and Burst-Burst best that ever were!
Two class acts right there. These conceited assholes out there today could learn a lot from the way Walter and Barry handled themselves. They never talked shit. They just let their actions on the field speak for them.
Walter Payton didn't have the dream sitution for a running back like Emmit had in Dallas. But he certainly had a better situation than Barry and Barry's numbers through 10 seasons were MUCH better than both Emmit and Payton. I don't really see how this is even a debate, Barry is cleary the GOAT, anyone who can't see that is just blinded by bias.
@xSportsKingx@xSportsKingx Barry did have more yards in 10 seasons than any other running back but it was because of his # of attempts not because he was clearly the best ever. He is tied for 25th on career yards per carry. He is the best running back of his style to play the game but the best pure rusher is Jim Brown. The GOAT is Walter Payton because he excelled at all aspects of the position,rushing, receiving, blocking and passing not just running with the ball.
@franztek73 He averaged more yards per carry and yards per game than Walter Payton. Barry sanders 5 yards per carry 100 yards per game. The same numbers Jim Brown. Only difference is Jim Brown was a great athlete playing in an era of undersized defenders who had day jobs. Barry was undersized playing in the modern football era against guys running 4.3's. Barry is the best pure runner of all time hands down.
@CEO1451 bears would suck badly if it wasnt for payton, most of the 1985 members were party of the 70s bears which were winning 1-5 games a year... when payton came they started to win and win then 84 is when they got to the championship. About The pro bowl qb he only got to the pro bowl only because of 1985.. Mcmahon didnt even do good just because the defense and payton was so good. Were spamming this page lol
@CEO1451 1985? you mean 7 pro bowlers on the defense, #2 offense in the league you know thats the 85 bears. Without walter payton their wouldnt be no 1985 bears, i dont see barry winning anything or building his franchise up? he had no leadership skills, ooh my bad he played with a qb who had one pro bowl in one season with one team that went 18-1 lol. dont you think the whole team should be pro bowl players.
@CEO1451 payton never played with a pro bowl qb,te,wr his whole career. barry had a pro bowl wr, and probably more but i know for sure he had a wr. Barry had a better team then the bears i dont know why im arguing with you, since you were probably born in 2001?
@itsmybunny1 The bears won alot more than the lions even though Barry was far more productive than Walter through 10 seasons. So that makes it pretty obvious that Walter had the better team. Barry basicaly had the worst possible sitution a running back could have. He had NO line, NO QB, yet he still was the most productive RB through 10 seasons in NFL history. To think that someone could have demolished the rushing record with the worst possible situation is just riduclous.
@xSportsKingx the bears were 4-12... The only time the bears had a good team was 9 years after payton was in the nfl and they were like 13-3. Also he never played with a pro bowl te qb or wr, while sanders did. Yeah sanders has more rushing yards payton has the most total combined yards in the whole nfl including beating jerry rice.
@itsmybunny1 In 2004 Pittsburgh Steelers went 15-1 no pro bowl for the QB. McMahon played for a short time with the talented mid 80's bears teams and did not have a HOF career but he was a winner and as fine a leader as the NFL has ever seen. You've been wrong about everything you have said so far but you seem to me like the type of person who doesn't let logic or facts interfere with your arguments so I eagerly await your next response.
@franztek73 so why didnt he start? after the bears.. your forgetting dan marino was playing at the same time too, and dan marino was obviously better statistically and career.
Both were great...I loved watching them play.I'm a bear fan so I got to see 'em both play in the division...but they're 2 different types of backs.Barry was small n very elusive in which he made so many people miss.Walter was bigger but fast n brutal...he never avoided being hit...he did the hitting...shifty n elusive as well but all around the better of the 2.
When you watch old film, one question that always arises is "could they play today?" Barry and Walter are clearly unbelievable talents even by today's standards. Also remember: Barry Sanders led the league in negative carries, and was routinely stuffed because the defenses routinely buckled down to completely stop the run. Also remember this: Barry was that great EVEN THOUGH most teams sold out to stop the run. Think about Sanders on Montana's 49ers. Stats aside--greatest RB talent ever.
@abchurch are you dumb how many yards did he lose from getting tackled right away 5 yards? barry sanders always ran backwars you couldnt give him the ball on 3rd downs.. or 4th downs. Payton had even a worse offensive line then barry sanders.
Both backs were great. Sanders speed and elusiveness was exciting to watch. Paytons combination of strength, elusiveness and heart wins out for me in the end. Admittedly, I'm bias.. but no other back I've ever seen affected me like payton. I could watch the bears lose time and time again and still enjoy the game watching sweetness.
Barry had a pro-bowl lineman in front of him for 8 years. 1995 he had 2 pro-bowl linemen. The Lions had a statistically sound front line offense making the playoffs a total of six times, while winning the division twice. Overall, Payton's Bear's had a lot less. No one, not even as far back as Jim Brown can compare or did as much with so little than what Payton achieved. Run all stats, only then, will you see the full truth of all contributing factors to an RB's stats. Barry's still great though.
Shit yo both are my favorite i mean i play like both ya cant stop me byr=t when it comes to the best it has to be walter but barry had more heart than any player to live. so thre is your answer on who is better great vid by the way and good comparsion.
stat wise there is nothing that makes payton the "greatest" nothing outstanding just good numbers and alot of ppl say hes number one just ebcause of his heart and attitude along with the numbers
Both were amazing runners. Sanders had a quick and elusive style in which he made people miss. Payton on the other hand was elusive and had, for the lack of a better term, a grace about him when he ran. But, when he was caught he delivered a hit every bit as hard as he got, if not more. Sanders was great but Payton was poetry in motion.
@bdb3223 Graceful? WTF Walter Payton was a friggen 18 wheeler. The man was a straight beast to the maximum. Barry sanders is the most exlusive back ever to touch a ball. And like most people would say, you just can't compare these 2 beast.
@solly57 You're right. Perhaps I chose the wrong word. I didn't mean grace as in he was gentlemanly when he ran. I meant more along the lines that he was just smooth. He ran with power, but he had awesome moves.
@bdb3223 But boy where has football come to now. You can't hit hard and people are trying to compare Adrian peterson to Sweetness and Chris Johnson to Barry Sanders. That's like comparing Jim Brown to someone like Bam. I feel sad for football now.
@solly57 the adrian peterson part was pretty stupid. cause he isnt near as good as everyone says hes seriously over hes still in the top 5 of running backs playing today. but chris johnson is good but he isnt good like barry is.
@XXDeathxCore Barry had no offensive line????....Wow, learn some football, Payton had the worst offensive line in the NFL during his first 7 seasons in the NFL, they were horrible, worse than Detroits.....Walter Payton is hands down the best RB ever, combination of everything....I love Barry Sanders, class act and probably the 2nd best of all time, but not a smart comment.....
Walter may have had more tools as a RB, but lets face it: every time Barry touched the ball you held you're breath. I cant think of another runningback that was quite as dangerous as #20. No disrespect to Sweetness. They're both amazing
Sanders was the hardest to catch and wrap your hands around while payton can just flat out lay you out on your ass so kudos to both of these great legends
this should be 2 vids. the payton part called how to put your haed down and get hurt, and barrys part is called how to cut back and get drilled by a lineback. jk there tied for the best of all time hands down barry with the moves and the speed, and payton with the toughness and multitalented abilitys
@sk8erg466 Thank you. Marshall Faulk and LaDainian Tomlinson can run, catch, kick and block too and have equaled or exceeded Payton's total career production. I think what you said and the fact that he was considered one of the league's "good guys" throughout his career gets him more respect than he deserves for his talent. He was great, but not the best. I'd go with Sanders over all of them. No other back in NFL history did so much with so little for so long and at his size.
@serrribral barry sanders weighed more than payton and the only argueable thing that barry was better at would be running. payton was better at blocking, receiving, breaking tackles, had way more toughness, heart, and desire than barry ever did. Tomlinson is a cry baby pussy who doesnt even play in an afc championship game because of a sore knee or sumthin even though the trainers cleared him to play, while payton played with broken ribs, arms, shoulders, ankles, toes, u name it
my bad barry sanders is 3rd gale sayers could of been number 1 but who knows how his career would of ended out so right now payton is 1st sayers is 2nd and sanders is 3rd
wow ok guys look.... emmit smith not even in top 4 rbs. i say walter payton is the best and shut the hel up with barry sander's o line every time i see barry sanders i see offensive live.... walter payton didnt have a good line too??? payton played everything on offense... even qb making 8 td passes.. and walter actaully hit people and never missed 1 game in his 13 year career. so sanders and payton had the same line.. and mabye gale sayers was the best ever? 6.5 yards per carry thats the best..
its easy to be a good running back when ur on one of the best football teams and o lines in the NFL. its hard to be a good runing back when ur 5'5 and are on one of the worst and still one of the worst football teams... barry would make walter look like a place kicker if he had a superbowl winning team on his side...
i consider barry sanders to be the greatest running back ever, but without a doubt Walter Payton is the greatest all around football player ever, he could run, catch and even pass, he had 8 passing TDs in his career and i think he was sometimes listed as the Bears' 3rd string QB and if he played defense, im sure he would have tackled with the same ferocity that he ran with
@ClevelandBrowns97 how did barry sanders have crazy speed i dont know his 40 but i dont think it was under 4.3? walter paytons 40 is like a 4.5 so yeah payton didnt need speed lol
Actually no, you can compare anything to anything. In the process you may find out that they have mor differences than similarities, but you can still compare the two.
@iplaywithagun Stop playing with your gun and pull the trigger if you really believe that. Please put yourself out of your misery. Barry and Walter were in a totally different class to Emmitt (4.16 career ypc) Smith.
@TheMoparDrvr ... Wow, posting more ignorance, huh? Sanders holds the record for most runs with lost yardage. You didn't know that, did you? Yes, he was the most exciting one to watch, but he quit on his football team...something Payton and Smith NEVER did. There's nothing overrated about Emmitt. He holds all the records for a reason.
@emantabrizi LOL "DIDNT KNOW THAT DID YA" fucking moron yes i did.. sammie sosa the year he hit his home run record also had the strike out record.. same goes for babe ruth his year and mark maguire... but im sure u knew that....
@emantabrizi and on ur second comment about " GIVING UP ON HIS TEAM " and " Smith NEVER did " Im just not gonna even degrade myself on commenting your a fucking moron.. smith had the most outrageoiusly suped up O Line it wasnt even funny when were the lions EVER good at really anything... ur just a text book bandwagon jumper im done with you scrub... and as u can see my comment below about " Walter Payton = Most Complete Runner of all time " and then u comment most complete shows u cant read.
@TheMoparDrvr ... If he's the most complete runner in your mind, then why is he number 2? Oh, and talk about bandwagon...when were the Lions ever good at anything? They went to the NFC Championship in Sanders' second season. They had an awesome offensive line.
@emantabrizi LOL DID YOU>>> JUST >>> SAY>>> LIONS HAD A GREAT OFFENSIVE LINE???? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im done with you, you apparently have no knowledge of anything thats football let alone running backs........... Watch this you clue less bastard watch?v=hsFhZy9oxuk
@TheMoparDrvr ... You don't make it to the Championship game with a shitty offensive OR defensive line. Both need to be great. Oh, and you have a lot of nerve (or a lack of brain cells) calling ANYONE clueless about football. You actually believe Payton was the greatest...just because he died.
emantabrizi's Famous Quote " Barry Sanders is a quitter, Because the Lions during his entire career had a great Offensive Line " <---- Yea you can say i got nothing after that... lets see how many ppl you can find to agree with your statement.
@TheMoparDrvr ... Yeah, he is a quitter. Why did he retire? In his own words, "...it wasn't fun for me anymore." Selfish. He quit on his teammates. Just like Ricky Williams did. I never said he had a great offensive line during his entire career, but during their playoff run in 1991, yeah, they did. During his ten-year career, the Lions made the playoffs five times. You're saying Sanders did it all on his own? You really are clueless.
@emantabrizi You sound more and more like a crazy person the more you type... plz continue but make sure to do it on a video with more viewers so people can actually show you how WeTAWdeD you are ;D...
@emantabrizi LOL cute you have a fan.... i like how u can talk shit bout the best and most elusive runner of all time... keep hating faggot maybe ur boyfriend will cum in ur mouth instead of your eye cause your obviously blind.
@emantabrizi Wow emantabrizi echo sure is owning you on the facts... see how ignorant you are hes putting down to numbers and full on stats and im sure you still think BARRY SUX??? BAAHAHAHAHAHA PFFFFFF i shit on you scrub i win the argument end of discussion!!!!
@TheMoparDrvr ... You really are a fucking retard. I never said Barry Sanders sucked. However, you absolutely said that the only reason Walter Payton is considered great is because he died. Between that comment and your comment about "cumming" in my eyes, you should probably just log-out and kill yourself.
@emantabrizi ECHO AND I OWNED U!!!!!!!!! TEXT OWNED Y U STILL COMING BACK FOR MORE SON!!! ITS LIKE FIGHTING AN UP HILL BATTLE!! JUST DROP YOUR DRAWS AND GET 2 STEPPING!!! BAHAHAHA
@emantabrizi In the 1990s Dallas had 6 Pro Bowl offensive linemen with 22 Pro Bowls and 8 1st team All-Pros between them. In contrast Detroit had 2 Pro Bowl linemen with 9 Pro Bowls and 1 1st team All-Pro. 6 of those Pro Bowls and the All-Pro came from Lomas Brown who never went to to Hawaii until Barry arrived. Brown also left for Arizona as a FA the year BEFORE Barry ran for 2,053 in 1997? So Barry loses his best OLinemen and still has his best season. Emmitt's last 9 seasons - 3.9 ypc
@TheMoparDrvr - can you imagine if Barry played for the Cowboys with that line. When I see Barry Highlights someone is in the backfield before he even gets the ball.......Walter gave out alot of hits.
@TheMoparDrvr ... You had no comment on Sanders giving up on his team because you know it's true. Barry signed a six-year deal. The very next year, he retired because the Lions refused to trade him.
Barry Sanders is an amazing running back but with Barry he either ran or sat he couldnt block or catch like Payton could so thats why walter is the greatest running back!
both players were the most humble in their time, and both were the best in their time, to compare them and say one is better than the other is stupid and makes you look like a moron.
Emmitt Smith ran for a very long time to get that record, he also was never truly dominant, but was a great runningback. Saying Emmitt is better than Barry is like saying Favre is better than Montana.
I knew "Sweetness" could run, but I had no idea that he trucked that many dudes. Damn!!! AS for Barry...no one should be able to do that to NFL defenses. It's just not right.
lol what backs lead alltime in rushing in playoffs history? Emmitt Smith 1,586 yards rushing with 21 tds. Tony Dorsett had 1,386 yards in the playoffs. Where are these guys? lol Oh yeae Emmitt also leads in rushing yars and tds. You guys are a_sholes.
@dallas5sb hes also played the LONGEST therefore easier to get the record, and the best offensive line in history pretty much while barry didnt have shit and payton didnt have that great of a line
@jstafford81 Best offensive line ever? Out of the top 100 rushers (career) Walter Payton had the 8th worst career offensive line. The Bears teams of 70's didnt do much for Sweetness in terms of blockings and he was dropped in the backfield quite a bit. However even with this I believe that Sanders was easily the better of the two, while Sweetness is the 3rd greatest back in the history of the game. Barry averaged the second highest ypg in his career and ran out of singleback most of his career.
@bandoftreats the cowboys had a really really good line, payton however did not, payton came first therefore mentored both of them and emmitt and barry both will admit it, they followed payton, payton lead the way, therefore payton is the best
who the fuck would dislike this.. both real genlteman and humanitarians and the two best running backs of all time .. must been a cowboy/emmitt smith fan
@jstafford81 that would be dawhiteguy, er excuse me daDUMBguy. he's emmitt smith fan. he thinks E.S. is better than Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and Barry Sanders. Check his other videos, he thinks T.O. is the best WR ever, then he changed his mind once T.O was no longer with Dallas. He also thinks M.Barber is the best RB in the NFL since the days of E.S. LMAO!!! Total Dallas fanboy.
Barry did more with less and would have shattered every running record if he didn't retire so early. It's great to see Payton smashing guys and keep going, but Barry is the most graceful RB ever! IMO Barry trumps any RB in the history of the league.
@Gmoneymozart Barry LOST more yards than ANY rb ever and he also NEVER showed up in the playoffs (6 games 91 carries, 386 yards and ONE td)....no way you can say Barry was the best
Being a Vikings fan, I saw a lot of both Walter and Barry. I appreciated their talents and enjoyed watching them play. Walter was more hard-nosed and Barry more agile.
Nowadays I'm excited by the potential Adrian Peterson, who shows signs of both. Only time will tell.
fuck i went to my first football practice and holy shit i have huge respect for these guys now. I mean there are like 300 pounds mother fuckers over there and like 50 huge guys working panting and sweating its just scary be like 5'8 and still dominate. Walter payton too is a mother fucking beast

DomesAllDay44 1 year ago
stat wise there is nothing that makes payton the "greatest" nothing outstanding just good numbers and alot of ppl say hes number one just ebcause of his heart and attitude along with the numbers
sk8erg466 1 year ago
Both were amazing runners. Sanders had a quick and elusive style in which he made people miss. Payton on the other hand was elusive and had, for the lack of a better term, a grace about him when he ran. But, when he was caught he delivered a hit every bit as hard as he got, if not more. Sanders was great but Payton was poetry in motion.
bdb3223 1 year ago
@bdb3223 Graceful? WTF Walter Payton was a friggen 18 wheeler. The man was a straight beast to the maximum. Barry sanders is the most exlusive back ever to touch a ball. And like most people would say, you just can't compare these 2 beast.
solly57 1 year ago
@solly57 You're right. Perhaps I chose the wrong word. I didn't mean grace as in he was gentlemanly when he ran. I meant more along the lines that he was just smooth. He ran with power, but he had awesome moves.

Walter may have had more tools as a RB, but lets face it: every time Barry touched the ball you held you're breath. I cant think of another runningback that was quite as dangerous as #20. No disrespect to Sweetness. They're both amazing

tonyteb 1 year ago
@sk8erg466 Thank you. Marshall Faulk and LaDainian Tomlinson can run, catch, kick and block too and have equaled or exceeded Payton's total career production. I think what you said and the fact that he was considered one of the league's "good guys" throughout his career gets him more respect than he deserves for his talent. He was great, but not the best. I'd go with Sanders over all of them. No other back in NFL history did so much with so little for so long and at his size.
serrribral 1 year ago
@serrribral barry sanders weighed more than payton and the only argueable thing that barry was better at would be running. payton was better at blocking, receiving, breaking tackles, had way more toughness, heart, and desire than barry ever did. Tomlinson is a cry baby pussy who doesnt even play in an afc championship game because of a sore knee or sumthin even though the trainers cleared him to play, while payton played with broken ribs, arms, shoulders, ankles, toes, u name it

its easy to be a good running back when ur on one of the best football teams and o lines in the NFL. its hard to be a good runing back when ur 5'5 and are on one of the worst and still one of the worst football teams... barry would make walter look like a place kicker if he had a superbowl winning team on his side...

i consider barry sanders to be the greatest running back ever, but without a doubt Walter Payton is the greatest all around football player ever, he could run, catch and even pass, he had 8 passing TDs in his career and i think he was sometimes listed as the Bears' 3rd string QB and if he played defense, im sure he would have tackled with the same ferocity that he ran with

@emantabrizi In the 1990s Dallas had 6 Pro Bowl offensive linemen with 22 Pro Bowls and 8 1st team All-Pros between them. In contrast Detroit had 2 Pro Bowl linemen with 9 Pro Bowls and 1 1st team All-Pro. 6 of those Pro Bowls and the All-Pro came from Lomas Brown who never went to to Hawaii until Barry arrived. Brown also left for Arizona as a FA the year BEFORE Barry ran for 2,053 in 1997? So Barry loses his best OLinemen and still has his best season. Emmitt's last 9 seasons - 3.9 ypc

Emmitt Smith ran for a very long time to get that record, he also was never truly dominant, but was a great runningback. Saying Emmitt is better than Barry is like saying Favre is better than Montana.

jstafford81 1 year ago
@jstafford81 Best offensive line ever? Out of the top 100 rushers (career) Walter Payton had the 8th worst career offensive line. The Bears teams of 70's didnt do much for Sweetness in terms of blockings and he was dropped in the backfield quite a bit. However even with this I believe that Sanders was easily the better of the two, while Sweetness is the 3rd greatest back in the history of the game. Barry averaged the second highest ypg in his career and ran out of singleback most of his career.
