Sayers was on the list and the TD that got knocked off was Terrell Davis...
Since we had so much participation in this we could do one for QB's after this is completed if y'all think that's cool...
OK
(OJ > Jim Brown unless we are talking fullbacks or something. If fullbacks, then we should probably add Larry Csonka and John Riggins to the list)
Franco Harris was a FB and he made the top 16...
Sanders was much more superior to anyone on the list. Would take payton second and brown third.
Barry was the most exciting, but far from the best. Taking a water break on every 3rd or 4th and 1, killing your defense with drive killing -4 yard runs on 5 or 6 drive's a game and then busting one 80 yard run against a team defending pass because the Lions were down 30 looks nice, but has little to do with winning. The best ever, Jim Brown, Emmitt Smith, Sweetness, AD and Eric Dickerson

To be fair to Emmitt, saying it was all his line isn't any more fair than saying Barry was some all or nothing drive killer. Neither is remotely true.
I still say O.J. Simpson. He was a big back that could run between the tackles but had world class sprinter speed and sweet moves like Barry Sanders. He could catch the ball out of the backfield like Marshall Faulk and pass block as well.
Just think this is dumb fucking thread.
Watched all of the so called greats . I watched Jim Brown run over & around people who were actually trying to end his career. He withstood the test of time . Had he stayed in the game, nobody would achieve his mark.
Kudos to Payton ( I really liked Sayers better) & Smith, for surpassing Browns record. They with stood the test of time.
Loved Earl Cambell (spelling?), Bo, Dickerson, Czonca ( spelling ?) and many others.
NOBODY is in JIM BROWNS CLASS.
Fuck Hollywood , they deprived football fans of 1 of the greatest ever. O or D.
Got to admit , loved The Dirty Dozen.
If it's dumb, why did you click on it and then post?
