He made TSN all-pro 1st team in 1993. I'm pretty sure TSN counted back then

No, emitt smith ran behind arguably the best o line ever
How many are in the NFL Hall of Fame? One! That is Larry Allen and Emmitt Smith had THREE rushing titles before Allen got there. Dallas online was full free agents and late round draft picks!

Yeah against them, because it full of Saints fans who are blinded by their hate for Dallas, especially back then.

Barry Sanders is at worst the second best running back in NFL history. Emmitt is not 10.
That is the most idiotic statement I have ever read on this site!

Barry Sanders is the greatest open field runner in NFL history! Does that make him the best? No, because he came out on 3rd downs most times and inside the 10 yard line. That Run N Shoot offense was perfect for his running style, because he didn't have to follow blocks and speaking of blocks, he had 2 Pro Bowl linemen blocking for him in Kevin Glover and Lomas Brown.

No. Barry was much better than Emmitt. If Barry doesnt retire early, Emmitt doesnt stay in the league as long as he did because Barry's yardage wouldnt be broken.
Barry plays 14 years in the league, and he would be over 20,000 yards.

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?
Dude was first-team all-pro as corner and both safety positions, was first-team all-pro at corner AS A ROOKIE, and was probably the most important defensive component of TWO dynasties: late-1970s USC and the 1980s 49ers.

He's not even in the top 5 of best players to play for the Niners.
LOL laughable

Deion
Ronnie Lott is 10,000x the player Deion was, he actually tackled and gained more INTs than Deion over the course of his career despite playing safety the 2nd half a more complete player. Hell, Deion wasn't even better than Rod Woodson.

What next, a quarterback makes his line better pass blockers? Smh.
An elite QB can sometimes mask bad pass protection by making quick decisions and getting the ball out fast. Drew Brees has had horrible offensive lines at times but still burns defenses because he knows where to go with the football before it's even snapped.

10 NO and 1 YES at the time of your post. Do you know what bias means?

I think he's referencing the fact this question was even posed.
It is an absurd question.
I'm trying to think of a similar question, but can't.

Barry Sanders was the greatest running back of all time, imho
He was hamstrung by a subpar QB and OL.
And yet he still nearly broke Payton's record in his 10 year career.
Emmit did break the record. But it took him 15 years.
Sanders behind the Cowboys OL would have put up Madden Numbers. . .set to rookie mode
