I'm not saying this as a slight to tims accomplishments, I'm generally curious. How many of his rushing Tds were from longer than 10 yards?

Not in college. Sorry. You want to talk about the pros. I will go there with ya. ONE season does NOT make a RB the GOAT. FACT.

It's only my opinion:

But JB was just so much bigger than everyone else in the 50's/60's. Put him in the 80's/90's and he can't simply run over these modern athletes. No way he has the career Barry did running behind Detroit's o-line for all those years.

how do you know? This is really a stupid argument. First of all he did not play against a bunch of 5'8" 160LB weaklings. They may not have been as big and fast as today's athletes but then again neither were the guys he was playing with. Instead of 300 LB DE, they were 250-275. And they could also play a lot dirtier. Now they flag players for brushing against the QB's helmet, back then they could slap players upside the head.

ever watch Earl Campbell highlights? He was flat running over dudes a decade before Sanders was in the league? Think there was this giant leap in evolution in 10 years?

you are right. Brown would have been even better. They would not have taken him out at the goal line.

Umm not really. What's more impressive, a guy like mike Tolbert who just gets the ball inside the 3 and scores everytime or a guy like AP who can score at any moment from anywhere on the field?

So how many 275lbs DEs played in the 1960's?

So you're saying it would actually be easier for JB nowadays since defenders can't actually hit? think you argued against yourself there.

How many years did EC play in tNFL with that style?

So now you're comparing EC to average RBs? Come on Peeej, aren't you better than that? How disrespectful. That's almost like calling LBJ the GOAT after single-handedly beating the Pistons in the ECF. Do you think the King is the GOAT Peej?

Did I st-st-st-stutter Peeej?

I'm about to go to the gym, so you just take a minute to kick back, soak up some bud heavies, and delve in the absurdity of the rubbish you have been spewing.
