Terry Allen Washington Redskins 21 1996
Terrell Davis Denver Broncos 21 1998
Priest Holmes Kansas City Chiefs 21 2002
11 Larry Johnson Kansas City Chiefs 20 2005

I was off by one ... Priest Homes did it ... but he isnt even in consideration as the top back all time. Very short career as a starter

If you don't know football... Don't try to talk it

Those son are the only men to ever rush for 20 or 20 plus TDs in a season

How am I troll? Because I don't agree with you that Emmitt is better than Barry? Or because I pointed out several pages ago in this thread that Priest Holmes had RUSHED for 20 TD's twice,. Look it up. Please try and keep up and not confuse me with the Twins and Lions fans. If anything you're trollish for going around talking shit about anyone who doesn't happen to agree with you.

LMAO, no you were wrong...

Well by your own standards.......

Priest Holmes is the greatest EVER . Above even Barry. He coulda played longer too. Stat man

Not sure how he looked bad being he was right and you were wrong then resorted to name calling after it was proven.

I have not disrespected anyone, would you rather sit here with other Cowboys fans holding hands, singing kumbaya or have some people capable of a civil conversation giving the conversation an alternate opinion.

Where the fuck are you coming up with this crap? Are you permanently drunk? Can you read at a 12th grade level? I'm seriously asking....

You were the one who brought up Emmitt rushing for 20 Td's twice as a reason for him being better than Barry. I refuted that, alluding to the idea that TD's have more to do with team success. That was your ridiculous logic. Go back and re-read this thread. You are so off base I'm losing the desire to continue owning you in this conversation.

In fact, I'm done, I can't talk sense with you.

 

[tw1st3d]

And if we talk about short career.....
Earl Cambell
Bo Jackson
Priest Holmes
Larry Johnson
Just off the top of my head

and without question if Jim Bwown hadnt retired early .... doubt anyoneelse would be in the conversation.

 

[Nosferatu]

that's a spin....you're here for one reason and it's stupid to tell this fan base emmitt wasn't all that good. BUT very troll like

Your opinion and who the fuck cares.

run along chuckles

You realize this is a message board where people share their opinions on all sorts of things including sports.

Add something to the conversation or shut the fuck up.

 

[Nosferatu]

Earl Cambell
Bo Jackson

Imagine how good they could have been, it's scary. You can include Terrell Davis and Gayle Sayers to that list too...

you are the one that [ut Barry vs Emmitt stat for stat......
But TDs don't count???? Longevity doesn't count..... when you got the lead and teams know you are running the clock out (which btw lowers averages) That doesn't count either... Neither does the wear and tear of the extra playoff games... Superbowl games..... those 3-4 extra games a year don't count?

You are a stat boy .... plain and simple.... have no concept of a team running a guy 3 times back to back in the 4th quarter when they have the lead. You're a joke...... and drunk ... dude it's not even fucking 7 at night.... catch me around 11 or 12 tonight though.... might be the truest statement you make

To be fair Jim Brown was bigger than the LBs and damn near the DLineman, different era....

 

[tw1st3d]

That I can agree with you 150%

 

[Nosferatu]

Jim Brown 6'2 230

Alan Page who you can argue is the greatest DT of all time 6'4 240

Can you imagine someone like Adrian Peterson weighing 300 pounds and being just as fast? I feel bad for those 150 pound safties trying to tackle Jim Brown while he was running at full speed, LOL

 

[tw1st3d]

You would be correct.... but in all fairness..... Dude went through alot (on the racial side of it) He had a heart and ran with anger..... I wouldn't bet money that wouldn't translate in the current game.
Lots of things have changed about the current game.... right now only the Vikes, Ravens. and 49ers are truely commited to a power run game.

Skins ran nice last year... but I rate them as more a balanced team than one that is a pure pound the rock team

I doubt very must that Barry could have taken the hits if he carried the ball as much as Emmitt. Beside the Lions coaches DID NOT want Barry any where near the field with when the were with the 10 yard line. If Emmitt wasn't able to run for the tough goal line yards ala Barry his YPC would have been much closer to Barry's. Granted so would he TD's but with out a RB who could get that LAST YARD teams weren't going to win the SB. Detroit empty SB case is as much on Barry as it is on plenty of other so called no good players on his teams. As for talent around him I believe two (Not ONE) Very good WR's the defense had to account for. I seem to remember the Lions aslo have a better than average TE while Barry was there. You do realize some of Emmitts OL were cast offs from other teams don't you? Emmitt trusted the play to work and as soon as he got the ball he ran to the spot he was supposed to and the hole opened as he got there. If Super Barry had trusted the guys around him and hit the hole as it was designed his line would have looked much better. Barry WAY TOO often wait 5yards back and ran after the hole was provided. Barry was afraid of the big hit.

I stopped reading after this. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Wazmankg]

Johnson is a beast. Reggie Bush gives them a different dimension. Stafford can sling it. Solid D Line. Last place squad. Somethings always missing with that bunch.

I'm afraid you may be right here.

 

[Schmoopy1000]

you cant discount longevity when it comes to being great. That would be one of the most important attributes to greatness. Playing at a high level for a long period of time. otherwise Gale Sayers & others would be in the conversation. & their not. Also there is more to who is the greatest arguments than just certain stats. As silly as that sounds it is true. otherwise there wouldn't be a debate. All situations are different. What I find funny is when this comes up how everyone tears down the other greats to try & make a point of the guy you think is the best. After we all get done tearing down all the greats. Hell we make it sound like we would be better off with Julius Jones! LOL

but by no means can you take away longevity or use it against a player.

 

[Wazmankg]

Ross tried to give Barry a lead blocker. Barry couldn't run behind a full back. In fact not much is said about it now but that is why Barry retired. Detroit brought in Bobby Ross. Who has taken San Diego to the Superbowl against the 49ers.

To say Barry had no team around him is pure crap. Now you can say they had no defense and I'll agree. But when you have 2 1,000yard receivers. They had Perriman and Herman Moore. You didn't pass for yards like they did back then and not have an O-line.
Detroit poured all their money into the offense and the defense stunk.

You look at the teams going to Superbowls back then... All had offense but also ALL had defense.
San Fran, Green Bay, Cowboys, Denver. ALL top defenses

Yeah, he only went for 2053 the year Ross came and put a FB back there with him. Do you know anything or are you just making this stuff up as you go along ?
