Best RB of All Time Game 1

[Nosferatu]

Jim Brown vs Earl Campbell.

Vote and Discuss...

I voted JB even though I never saw either of them play. My dad is a huge Earl Campbell guy but I think the overwhelming opinion is that Jim Brown is one of the greatest to ever have played. Top 2-3.

 

[Nosferatu]

Some of these could be landslides one way but I try to think about not only the career each player had but if I had to chose one of these guys in one game to win me a Championship who do I take.

nuff said...JB was wow.

Cannot believe this isn't unanimous. The Campbell voters must be banned from future votes.

 

[Ritzarmy]

Jim Brown

whats the point of the match up ? its obvious Campbell is a short lived one hit wonder who beat the crap out of himself in short time while Brown stood the test of time and set a standard.


Campbell vs Csonka might make more sense

You okay man? Just havin us a best RB tourney of sorts. Think about this, if you had to pick one of these guys in their prime to win you a Championship would it be so easy to decide then?

Easy call. Campbell was a hell of a load but for a relatively short period of time.

Agreed, but if you had to chose one of them in their prime to help you win one game do you still take Mr. Brown?

yes, in 1/10th of a second. Go look at Brown's 1963 season. Only OJ in '75 is comparable.

I refused to vote. The correct answer is Barry Sanders

The question wasn't who's not in the top 3 backs of all time.

But he is. He's no less than 3rd.

 

[Nosferatu]

Okay, I won't argue but IMO he's not top 3.

 

[Voltaire26]

Everybody tells me Jim Brown. I never saw Brown play, but linebackers feared Earl Campbell. My vote goes the the Earl of Campbell.

Voting has ended...
