Top 10 RBs of All Time

It's funny to me that many of you don't have Emmitt Smith anywhere on your list, or not in the top 5 and he is the all time Rushing Yardage leader. I bet the same poll on a Cowboys site would have Emmitt number 1 on every list. Are we all that bias against the Cowboys? Just wondering.

1. L. Brown
2. Riggo
3. Portis
4. S. Davis
5 - 10, Insert any Redskin names.

No LaDainian Tomlinson?

Check back in 5 years, I'm sure he'll be on more lists then.

It just took Emitt so many more caries to pass all the other greats. To me that dimished his stats some.

He had like 2000 more carries than Jim Brown, yet passed him by like 3,000 yds.

Agreed. From a career stats standpoint, Emmitt is easily #1. He's running away with rushing TDs, and he's well ahead of sweetness in rushing yards. But part of that was simply playing forever and ever. He gets major credit for longevity, he's got to at least be a top 5. But he's no Barry Sanders or Jim Brown.

Yes, Emmitt wins the award for "Greatest Desire to Play Forever". You have to admire him for setting his goal of wanting to beat Water Payton's record for yardage and then sticking to it, even though he was well past his prime. Barry Sanders would have been the greatest back ever, but just got tired of playing for a loser team and therefore lost his desire to play at all.

And conversely, that's why Brown was number one on my list.

my personal fav. is barry sanders. he was just plain fun to watch. when he took the feild you just knew he was about to do something spectacular. even if it was a run for 2 yards he made 3 or 4 defenders look completely ridiculous. barry was great and i miss him, especially on thanksgiving because he always made huge plays.
