I'd love to include Brown but he played against white dockworkers and chain smokers.

 

Barry is godly, contrary statements make you look stupid. Ditto for LT, if he showed up more in the playoffs he would be the GOAT maybe.

 

Emmit deserves his praise. Dude got it done and did it for way longer than he should have.

 

Bo played a few years and didn't even hit 1k. Not in any convo. Marcus Allen is in some convos but he was a touch overrated I think. OJ, Campbell and Dickerson are above him.

 

Class dismissed.

He handed the record to Emmitt. Like he did with the football to the official after a score. :thumbsup:

Barry was so unfamiliar with scoring he didn't know what to do. :P

Yes, he had a chance to take the record though. Cool, he's a quitter, made his money and got out. Then years later we see all the players lives ruined by head trauma and people retiring early. Barry was smart and even after just 9 years carved out an all time career. Easy top 5, highly arguable top 3.

Meh, maybe. Allen's long haul stats aren't far from LT's. Allen's best season compares to LT's best except for TD's, which aren't always a product of the running game. It's not outrageous.

Marcus's best year was LTs average year. Allen had 3 1000 yard seasons lt had 8 straight to begin his career. Lt had more yards in 50 less games and more tds. Seriously though Allen was decent but lt was world class

Yup.

 

For the people trying to argue that Sanders couldn't manage Smith's production if he had played for Dallas, here is a little comparison of what the two of them had to work with in their first 10 seasons in the league:

 

Sanders - 15,269 yds, 5.0 ypc

Combined career Pro Bowls from offensive teammates: 13 from 3 players (2 of which were offensive linemen)

Pro Bowl QB seasons: 0

1st team all-pros: 4 (Moore x3, Brown x1)

 

Smith - 13,963 yds, 4.3 ypc

Combined career Pro Bowls from offensive teammates: 40 from 10 players (6 of which were offensive linemen)

Pro Bowl QB season: 6

1st team all-pros: 10 from 5 players (8 of which came from three offensive linemen)

 

If you work with the "Sanders couldn't run it at the goal line" hypothesis, you still have a problem: he didn't NEED to be at the goal line to score. When he retired, Sanders held the NFL record for TD runs of 10 yds or longer...and 20 yards or longer...and 30 yards...and 40, 50, 60, and 70 yards or longer. Sanders scored 99 rushing TDs from an average of 11 yards out (NFL record), Smith averaged 3 yards per TD run.
