Im a cowboy fan but Emmitt Smith is not top ten all time, and Barry Sanders has to be top three. Dont get me wrong Smith is in the top 25 but i could have gained a 1000 yrds with the line he had at the beginning of his career, we all saw what happened after they left. My friends and I usef to call him lay down smith because thats what he usually did. Put Sanders behind the line smith had and we would be talking unbreakable record type numbers

I agree, a garbage list. Someone voted to pro bowl 3 times in top 5? It's a shitty list.
Eric Dickerson was the best I ever watched with my own eyes.

Tomlinson was way too high. Way too high

Bo Jackson was a better running back than emmitt smith

awful listPosted on 6/21/17 at 10:13 pm to MrAUTigers
In terms of rushing performance compared to guys like Emmitt, Walter, Jim, Barry, etc. great all-purpose back though

Fred Taylor was a beast for the Jags for a long time. He would be remembered a lot differently if he could have stayed consistently healthy.

Fred's an underrated player, he gained 11,000 yards rushing on 4.6 ypc with only 21 fumbles HIS ENTIRE CAREER an incredible workhorse

Two Fred Taylor moments will always stick out to me. The first one was his 90 yard TD run against Miami in the 1999 playoffs that basically ended that game in the first quarter. Jax won 62-7 to end Marino's career.
The other one was when Jax ran for something close to 400 yards on Indianapolis in 2006. Taylor and Jones-Drew just gutted them like a fish all day.

I might be a homer because Barry is my favorite RB ever but I think he is number 1.
He is. Barry is the GOAT. Not sure how anyone can even argue. Unique. Truly a once in a lifetime back. Dude should own the all time rushing record by a mile.

Buddy is a NFL HC and RB coach for 10+ years early in his career.. he had Fred a Taylor as the most underrated back over last 20 years. & best he ever coached. He has coached several All Pro's and at least 2 HOF's

Elliot and Jackson making the list is a joke. Peterson and Sanders are too low. Sanders is #1 imo. Overall that is one the worst list I have seen.
