    That's my top 5 all-time. Not necessarily in that order.
    now that I have to think about it:

    1) Payton
    2) Jim Brown (never missed a game, ridiculous)
    3) Sanders
    4) OJ Simpson
    5-6) interchangeable- Smith, Dickerson

    So I underestimated, he's mid top 10 in my book.

    I'll tell you this about Emmit. If I needed 2 yards on 1 play, he's in my top 3 with Earl Campbell and Dickerson, maybe top 1.

      Jerry Rice but Emmit Smith was a beast!! He was never the fastest, or strongest but he was definitely great. I'll never forget him running for over a hundred yards with a dislocated shoulder. What players do you know nowadays or even back then that would take the pain of that and still produce? Emmit was cut from a old school football cloth.

        Jerry Rice by far.

        i never really had respect for Emmit and im not too sure why.

        maybe because he stayed in the league past prime just to break a record

                Yeah I have watched a lot of film on Campbell and I am totally in awe of the way he ran the ball. People think Brandon Jacobs is a bruiser....I mean good lord...Campbell was a monster. I can't imagine trying to tackle the guy in his heyday.



                This video is amazing. Some of those quotes are gold.

                  I'll watch the game because it's the SB but I still feel empty inside, I wanna see a good game would rather the Saints won but have no great interest in matters

                      I love Rice but Emmitt is my fav player ever so im sorta biased... All ill say is if Randy Moss plays 20 yrs like Rice he would have all Rices records!
