Tony Dorsett or Emmitt Smith

wouldn't the greatest oline in the history of professional football have more than ONE in the NFL HOF?

Having seen them both, and understanding his OL was great, I have to go with Emmit Smith. Just mad respect for that guy and his ability to pick a hole.

As for all timers the best I ever saw was Earl Campbell, never saw Jim Brown. Tomlinson is one I never thought got his due credit. He was right up there with the best I have ever seen.

I still don't know a cowboy fan who would ever say Emmitt Smith was better than Sweetness, Sanders, or Jim Brown. Being one of the best RB's is the point I and other Dallas fans has stated here. Three championship in four years says as much as does all time leader in rush yards.

I'm going to drop one more post about downgrading Emmitt Smith due to having what many here have said was the greatest line in the history of football based on one HOF lineman who played with Smith for nine seasons.

The greatest oline in the history of football remains Lombardi' Green Bay Packers. HOF runners Jim Taylor and Paul Horning played their entire careers running behind HOF tackle Forest Gregg and HOF guard Jerry Kramer. HOF Center Jim Ringo played five years during this time. Three HOF linemen playing together says this is the greatest line to ever play Pro Football.

I was borned in Tyler, Texas. Campbell was special but ...Big Earl played seven seasons in Houston in which he had two seasons with two HOF'ers (Matthews/Munchak) and a third year with Munchak. Do you deduct points for Earl's accomplishments as many do for Emmitt? Eric Dickerson played five years with the Rams, arguably his best years, all 5 season HOF'er Jackie Slater lead the way. Hell, Jim Brown played nine seasons, had two HOF linemen. Gene Hickerson played eight seasons with Brown and Mike McCormach played 6 seasons with Brown. Five of Brown's nine years had two HOF'ers on that line. Even Sweetness had HOF Jimbo Covert for five seasons. OJ had HOF Joe DeLamielleure for five seasons. BUT...Emmitt was nothing without Larry Allen as Troy was nothing without Emmitt with the so called greatest oline in the history of football.

All these years...still the Dallas hate.
I love it. Such bull shit some here spin.

I wasn't aware that only one is in the HOF. Reminds me of the Hogs with only Russ Grimm represented. Larry Allen and Joe Jacoby were certainly Hall of Fame Players.
