@Tenchu_87 3 года назад

I mean barry single handedly carried the 90's LIONS to winning seasons. I mean yes dickerson was a beast. But in todays NFL i don't think he would be as effective. Barry on the other hand, his skill set is timeless. 10 years over 1100 yards every year. Pro bowl every year. You can't teach someone how to defend barry sanders. You have to teach multiple men to tackle barry sanders and a lot of times even that didn't work. Lol I would definitely take Barry #1.

Didn't Barry have a pro bowl LT.. and a Center for a few years... And david Sloan.. and H. Moore catching 100 passes and 1600 yards the same season perriman caught 100 and over 1400 yards AND had johnny morton as a 3rd receiver... Single handedly?????

You lose all credibility when you don’t include Walter Payton. Everyone knew the Bears had to run the ball, stacked the box, still couldn’t stop the greatest running back of all time from getting his.

@Majorkip 5 лет назад

Because every team back then was dog shit. Athletes were weak. Look at what 1 average athlete did in that era. Marino, Jerry rice, primetime. They dominated. Any of those players now would be average starters at best now

@MrBroawesome 5 лет назад

Taylor Klock you mean back when you could actually hit people, nobody whined about concussions, and nobody was prissy pratting around. This guy says Eric Dickerson based solely on stats, Payton would have broken the single season record had it been a 16 game season in ‘77. Even comparing eras, you think Jim Brown and Dick Butkus have any issue trouncing people in this era of football? Ronnie Lott and Gayle Sayers would still work over guys in this era. Equipment and hyper specialized training have no doubt changed athletes ability to run faster and hit harder, but it doesn’t make you tougher and that’s one of the most important traits any player can have. Emmitt Smith was tough as nails, Walter Payton was the same but more athletic, and I’m a diehard Cowboy fan. You can’t put Emmitt in the list and leave off Sweetness.

@ryanavery3066 5 лет назад

MrBroawesome so you’re just gonna overlook how athletes back then didn’t have the same training, nutrition, and technology we have now? You would be saying the same thing about Randy Moss if he played in the 80s

@MrBroawesome 5 лет назад

Ryan Avery the biggest effect on performance by far is the technological advancement in equipment in sports. By and large the strength, speed, agility of top tier athletes in the past are comparable to athletes of today. What I’m arguing is that greatness transcends eras when it comes to football. Plus it’s not like Payton played in the 30s, the 80s wasn’t that long ago. Its not like we are a different species than we were 40 years ago. Prime time Payton would perform the same if not better with today’s equipment against today’s competition.

@borood1188 5 лет назад

Barry and Jim Brown are the only backs to average 5ypc/100ypg. Barry did it for ten years straight. Brown for nine, with shorter seasons and smaller and slower defenses. No other backs are anywhere near them. Peterson is closest with 4.4/88. The rest of the top backs are around the 4.2/82 range. Barry had 1,000+ yards in every season. One of those seasons he played 10 games. He averaged 1,500 yards per season. Would have been 1,600 had he not missed those games in that year.

Sad thing is that o-line was trash for short yards no matter who would've been in there. All the RB you are talking about wouldn't have last even as long as they did.

I can only speak on players I’ve witnessed born 92. Yeah AP was best rb I’ve seen in my lifetime. Obviously don’t remember watching Barry when I was 4. But yeah I’m my lifetime it’s prime Adrian Peterson and nobody was close

No disrespect to Barry, Emmitt and AP, but Marshall Faulk from 99-01 and LT 03-06 was unreal statistically. All purpose monsters

@bellyhead67 3 года назад

Defenses could never key on him. They were all spread out. Just sayin'. The other people mentioned here were looking at 8 in the box a whole lot. Faulk was definitely better than E Smith though.

Barry Sanders is my number ONE. Eric Dickerson did it with a good Offensive line. Barry did it on his own. If you're big and get time to get up to full speed, you're going to be hard to bring down.

Dickerson did have a good Oline many years, but never ever had a QB worth two cents. Everybody on the planet knew Dickerson was getting the football and they still couldn’t stop him. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves because people say he had an attitude problem, that wasn’t it, he was the greatest and wanted to get paid.
