Emmit Smith


FWIW I always thought he was a LITTLE overrated no doubt top 5 if i had to rank all time RB's it'd be 1) Barry Sanders 2)Sweetness 3)Marshal Faulk 4)Bo 5)Emmitt

4)Bo


I'm as big of a Bo Jackson fan there is, but he isn't a top 5 All-Time NFL running back. He didn't play long enough. Now, he may have been the most talented, since he was a freak of nature... But we will never know because he never set his mind to it and got injured.

DMAC is the best back in the league when he gets to the outside...better than AD.

AD is better between the tackles and probably the best overall...but DMAC is closing from his season last year and the start of the season this year.

You have to factor in AD's turnovers too.

So no, I wouldn't take Chris Johnson.

But on the wrong team. SAD to say.

I won't argue this. The DUDE has skills. GORE is a beast as well once he hits the outside.

No Bo Jackson? I would easily take him over #3, #4, and #5 on your list. Walker and Sanders are untouchable though, IMO.

DING DING DING! I'm a 90's kid


And about Bo, when i had him at 4 it wasnt based off of stats thats where I'd rank him based on talent. I mean i was never fortunate enough to watch him on a week by week basis but from what i can tell dude was a beast! and now that i think about i'd probably move Emmit further down my list.

Ahh, well then... I agree 100%

He was a freak of nature, with a doubt

IMO BO is the GREATEST ATHELETE EVER. BUT as a back in college, he wasn't expected to CARRY the load for the team. Unlike the ones I have chosen. Think about it.

That's surprising...perception or memory doesn't equate to reality I guess. I just remember his multiple fumble games...I guess I am going off of two years ago.

OK he did it by himself like Walker did. COME ON dude they ran the O with 3 back set. Like I said I think BO is the GREATEST ATHLETE EVER. What more do you want. Quit be ing a homer and think about what I am saying.

I said I don't know because I wasn't alive to watch him play I have seen what he could do, though...
