You know there are a million "woulda" "couldas" in the world.. Fact Remains Emmitt Smith is standing at the top of the mountain And Barry Sanders is just sitting in the wind kicking himself because he gave up too early.. Enough said..

Emmit had a great line yes, but Sanders had 3 all pros aswell. he was part of the top offense in the league at the time.

For every big play Sanders made, he killed 4 drives with tackles for losses or no gains. That's a game killer. Barry was amazingly agile no doubt, but he was a dancer and rarely plowed when he should have. Emmitt was a stop and go runner and plowed when needed. Emmit was also a 3 down back. great reciever and blocker. Running ability is only one aspect of a great back.

why is it that the steelers have 6 championships and the dallas cowboys still think they are the best even though they won only 5

@panther2552 That's very true, FeebleNosemanny! Far too guys who talk about the Lions teams during Sanders' time are either too young to know the reality of those teams, and/or rely on generic thinking that is used to pump up Sanders' legacy. Sanders was awesome. I have no problem saying that. But too often it's said that he only played on lousy teams, never made the playoffs or got close to the Super Bowl, & had sewer workers for a line. That's totally disrespectful to guys like Brown & Glover.

@panther2552 Very well put, panther. Far too many people who talk on this topic cannot be objective. The Cowboys are so hated, and the Lions aren't, so it's easy for the Dallas haters to dis Smith and praise Sanders. The Lions didn't take any titles away from their teams like big 'D' did. Plus, too much of the talk is one-dimensional, just centering on only running styles and highlight reel runs. Smith was one of the top 3 (at least) backs when considering all phases of the game, imo.

@panther2552 I have been respectfully owned.

[panther2552]

@FeebleNosemanny Actually that's not entirely true. Sanders had a few pro bowlers on the line. And the Defense never knew when Sanders was getting the ball. You see the Lions during that time had the number one offense in the league behind , Herman Moore, Bret Perriman and Johnny Morton. They ran a three receiver base back then forcing teams to drop in nickle defenses. Dallas ran an I formation where Defenses could stack 8 in the box. I can agree to disagree respectfully :)

@panther2552 Those are all career stats, more reflective of longevity and not skill IN MY OPINION. The reson Sanders has so many negative rushes is because his O-line was absolutely atrocious. Also, the defense knew Sanders would get the ball almost every play, unlike Smith with Aikman at QB. Sanders had to run for his life for a four yard gain. The Superbowl rings are all team accomplishments. Lets just agree to disagree I suppose.

[panther2552]

@FeebleNosemanny Emmitt Smith 1 league MVP, Superbowl MVP, 3 Superbowl Rings. All time leading rushing. Most rushing touchdowns in NFL history by more than 50 TDs. 164 total touchdowns, most playoff rushing yards, most playoff rushing touchdowns.

Barry Sanders: 0 MVP, 0 Superbowl MVP, 0 Superbowl Rings, 2nd all time leading rushing, 109 total touchdowns, Holds record for most rushes for loss (drive killers)

Yep stats sure don't
