Emmit was great, but also behind a fantastic offensive line and almost NEVER injured. I know injuries play a huge part in careers, but if you're going for RB GOAT, I think you have to take their peaks into account too.

I don't think Emmitt was the best running back ever, but I think he was the best-used running back ever. They really got the most out of that guy. Solid back made legendary with a great team and good coaching.

Here's my list of best ever:

1. Barry Sanders
2. Walter Payton
3. Jim Brown
4. Earl Campbell
5. Eric Dickerson
6. Emmitt Smith
7. O.J. Simpson
8. Ladanian Tomlinson
9. Tony Dorsett
10. Gale Sayers

Marshall Faulk is right there, too.
