if any1 dissagree's than let me know who the you think the greatest is and please no arguing guys

barry was definitely the most exciting, certainly the best home-run hitter ever. but, he also lost a lot of yards, and those things dont get shown on highlight reels. However, Sanders was amazing, and on his way to all of the records when he retired prematurely.
I think anyone can make a case for Emmitt, OJ, Payton, and Jim Brown as well.

Oh yeah dont forget that my boy Orenthal James was the first 2000 yard rusher, and that was in a 14 game season.

I have to agree with u Don i think Barry is the best of all time

It's a toss up for me between Emmitt and Barry, probably because I'm a fan of Emmitt and the Cowboys. You have to figure that Barry did this with horrible lineman with the exception of one. Emmitt was running behind mutants. Terrible that his will to win and being successful with a team caused him to retire prematurely. Stupid Lions.

Emmit Smith is the greatest of ALL time. end of discussion

idk about emmitt, i dont think he even cracks my top 3? maybe its just a matter of what you wanna see out there. emmitt was deadly consistent, not really spectacular to me. Plus he was running behind those mammoths on the Cowboys line. but still, top rushing yardage of all time does mean SOMETHING.

Its all a matter of preference, nobody can absolutely prove one of the greatest of all time was better than another.

Barry Sanders=best of all time

Emmitt i dont even think he was THAT special.. Everyone talked about like he was perfect, but i have never seen any highlights/old games where i saw him running and was just like WOW

Here is an Emmitt Smith highlight.

lol im not the don

BARRY WAS IS AND WILL BE THE BEST FOR THE NEXT AT LEAST 5 YEARS!! because some crazy athletic person gonna come and amaze everybody......but emmitt was wayyyy overrated in my opinion almost everyone one of his linemen went to the probowl almost every year of their career...noone knows the names of barry sanders linemen lol

lol woooooooooooooooooooooooooow only one mention of jim brown? cmon people, lets be serious here

most of the people werent even born to see him play in this thread

he was in a different time....yea he was an absolute beast but it was just a different era

plus browns suck =(

IMO barry sanders is the brett favre of running backs. sure he pulled off some AMAZING runs (aka 40 yard TD pass favre threw vs san fran to win it) but it was either an amazing run or a loss of yards (aka his INT near the end of the game vs the saints).

1. jim brown
2. OJ simpson
3. walter peyton
4. eric dickerson
5. emmit smith


barry is somewhere after that. hell, i would argue that he wasnt even the most elusive HoF RB there is anyway and thats what made him great. have some respect for your elders people

emmit smith ahead of sanders sorry he was good but he had a pro-bowl o-line blocking for him

And that is why Emmit is the greatest of ALL time.

sanders is top 5 to me and if u dont think so well idk what to say

sanders

bo jackson

jim brown

payton

smith

bo jackson? you must be wild. i have been thinking about this and have made my own top 5. (btw yall are barry sanders highlights lovers - definitely the most elusive of all time but he was more like a power hitter in baseball: tons of homeruns but plenty of strikeouts)

1. Barry Sanders
2. OJ Simpson (he ran for 2000+ yards in a 14-game season when running wasnt as common! 'nuff said)
3. Jim Brown
4. Walter Payton
5. Emmitt Smith

hes not even the most elusive runner of all time

bo jackson had amazing speed and power for someone his size and even excelled at baseball guy was a freak of nature

the fact that ur a bills fan may be kinda biased in putting oj in the top 5

the fact that sanders even got tds off that line and off that team speaks for itself...not even himself can break every tackle for a loss ya know?

NUFF SAID

lol im pretty sure your opinion is biased

biased or not hes the best. just imagine barry playin with the cowgirls o line. emmitt wouldnt be in this conversation if he played for the lions.

if this or if that. go off facts

Biased or not Emmit is still the best RB to ever grace the game.
