Running Back question

[tw1st3d]

you get any running back in the history of the NFL ..... For ONE YEAR.... AND he's healthy all year... On a SUPERBOWL CONTENDER

Who would you take ..... List your top 10 in order. Doesn't matter if they played 1 season 2 5 12 ... pick your guys top 10

1. Earl Campbell
2 Emmitt Smith
3 Jim Brown
4 Walter Peyton
5 Bo Jackson
6 Priest Holmes
7 Eric Dickerson
8 Terrell Davis
9. Jamal Lewis
10. Jamal Anderson


Lots of names ... I could goto 20 easily.... this isn't based on career..... This is one year totally healthy .... Superbowl bound..... complete 3 down runningback

 

[Nosferatu]

Walter Peyton
Eric Dickerson
Bo Jackson
Jim Brown
Adrian Peterson
Curtis Martin
Earl Campbell
O.J. Simpson
Marcus Allen
Marhsall Faulk
Terrell Davis

I had to make it 11 because I couldn't keep TD off the list.


After Walter the order don't matter I just listed 11. Jamal Anderson? Odd choice IMO...

 

[Schmoopy1000]

depends on era. & style of offense. Nowadays you would be looking at a lot of passing backs. So Roger Craig would have to be on a top ten list for one superbowl run.

So Roger Craig would have to be on a top ten list for one superbowl run.

I thought that as well or maybe Thurman Thomas.

The year he Put ATL on his back.... wow ... Think he had more carries that season than any other Rb in a season ever. Dude could run by you or over you .. Short career..... but he was a hoss

after seeing your list though ... I would take him off... OJ slipped my mind

 

[tw1st3d]

I wouldn't put Thomas up there.
I think he fumbled in a crucial moment in every superbowl he played in.

Like I said that one guy ...... no way I'd want him on "my" Superbowl team if I had a choice of 10 others guys

 

[Nosferatu]

The year he Put ATL on his back.... wow ...

Yeah, maybe i'm a little bitter about that season, LOL

 

[Schmoopy1000]

I think one of the major injustices in superbowl history was when the bears let the fridge score the TD & not sweetness.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

Yeah, maybe i'm a little bitter about that season, LOL

yeah wasn't that the only FG the vikes missed all season?

 

[Nosferatu]

yeah wasn't that the only FG the vikes missed all season?

Can we talk about something else, I may start crying...

 

[Nosferatu]

I heard Ditka say thats the biggest regret in his coaching career.

 

[tw1st3d]

I heard Ditka say thats the biggest regret in his coaching career.

yeah I saw that interview ... He did say that

 

[Eastbay]

Yeah even old school Ditka got to cute in that instance

LMAO not often do I take crazy bets to piss away money. Only twice in football. I took the Giants over New England in New England's run at the perfect season .... and ATL over the Vikes in that game. Cowboys werent in it but everyone was all over the Vikes (15-1 that year right?)

 

[cowboycolors]

Jim Brown
Walter Payton
OJ Simpson
Emmitt Smith
Bo Jackson
Billy Sims
Eric Dickerson
Earl Campbell
