I would say there are 3 who always get brought up as best RB ever and doesn't get discarded. Emmitt is thought of in the next round of people because he has the most yards.

Brown is brought up more than most, if not all, with having to deal with racial discrimination in the NFL. Barry is talked a lot because he had such a horrible line and he was so fun to watch.

I have always said Payton is the GOAT, but by the title the OP isn't looking for the greatest, he's looking for the best career. With that I'd say 3 Super Bowls, a SB MVP, an NFL MVP, most rushing yards, and most Rushing TDs, "Best Career" has to go to Emmitt.

Sadly for Payton he had Ditka as a coach and watch this instead of getting a TD in the Superbowl.
