Barry Sanders would’ve gone down as tGOAT if he played on a team with as much talent as those Cowboys SB teams


People already think he's tGOAT currently, teams not players are defined by championships, players on their personal brilliance

Sanders was more talented, but Emmitt was more reliably consistent.

OJ as the goat? Seriously? Stop. Ronnie Lott isn't even the greatest db of all time. Not even the greatest db to play for the Niners.

You serious this is an insane take? First player to surpass 2K rushing in a 14 game season playing in the conditions he played in

Dude was first-team all-pro at corner and both safety positions, one of the hardest hitters in league history as well, I'd say he makes a pretty compelling argument for top all-time DB if not overall player, gained a ton of INTs too

I had cowboy season tickets throughout the 80s and 90s. One of the best performances I ever witnessed was Barry tearing up the Dallas D on Monday night. He was the best player I’ve ever seen.

And what did OJ do outside of that season? Okay then.

Ronnie Lott has a great defensive back but Rod Woodson did the exact same thing. Lott isn't the best defensive back of all time much less best defensive back and to say he's the best football player of all time? He's not even in the top 5 of best players to play for the Niners. And since I know someone will ask: Rice, Montana, Young, Deion, and TO.

Let's see:
-5x First-Team All-Pro
-1973 League MVP
-4x NFL rushing leader
-2x NFL rushing TD leader
-5 1K rush yard seasons
-3 1,500 rush yard seasons
-2 2,000 total yardage seasons
-1st guy to surpass 2K in a 14 game season
-all the ability in the galaxy to dominate
-set the single-game rushing mark before Walter Payton broke it
-did I mention he was a really dominant college RB at the highest level too?

Dan Marino was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than Troy Aikman. Troy Aikman is the least deserving HOF player of all time.
