@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.

@eskimomarx you stupid a lions fan as myself i know he never led them to the playofs cause there defense sucked
-
barry is no. 1 hands down, im a fan of the lions cuz im from detroit (despite this season)
-
yea, if barry played with a good team he would actually go to win a superbowl.
-
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

Gayle Sayers and this man. INSANE hips.

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



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

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.
