What?


Really? You disagree with that? I'm not sure how to reply because I don't think I'm taking a radical stance here. Why was Barry Sanders great? Because he was great. Why is Adrian Peterson great? Because he's great. Vision and power and explosiveness and agility and top-end speed are not learned traits. You got 'em or you don't.

And even if that is the case, how can you quantify greatness compared to other great RBs if its a simple great or not great?


I'm not sure if I understand what you're asking. Mostly because I don't know what it means to quantify greatness.

Power, explosiveness, agility, and speed can be improved upon by working hard.

You are qualifying running backs as great or not great. That's all fine and good.

How can you tell who is greatest?
