No contest IMO, but both talented.
Wish I was alive to see those guys.
1. Jim Brown
2. Barry Sanders
3. OJ Simpson
4. John Riggins
5. Earl Campbell
Riggins? He was good. I never thought he was great. The others on your list were great.
Tough to call who is the greatest ever because Brown played in a much different era. That said, Earl Campbell was the better back IMO. If he could have played in the Jim Brown era, he would have put Jim on his back and rushed for as many yards as Jim Brown did.
The Tyler Rose >>>>>> everyone else.
Ben Roethlisberger is the greatest RB of all time.
Tony Dorsett.
You don't hear him mentioned much anymore, but he was damn good!
Research a dude named Dickie Post.Yeah he was probably the shiftiest runningback of all time. Maybe behind Barry Sanders, but that's about it when it comes to shiftiness.
Research a dude named Dickie Post.
or Eric Metcalf
Can't believe nobody mentioned Eric Dickerson or Marcus Allen
Personally I'd take Marshall Faulk over Emmit Smith any day.
Check out Post #13 in this thread. I am also surprised it took so long for someone to mention Allen. There are so many truly great RB's in NFL history, though.
