    Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith?

    Since LT is tearing up the football field this year, this good old battle of running backs came to mind. I always get a kick out of this discussion.

    Barry Sanders by far is the best running back out of the two, and possibly the best ever.

    Barry Sanders would be my pick.

    But the best I ever saw was O J Simpson in my opinion

    I will be shocked if Emmitt gets one vote. Barry was by far the best I have ever seen.

    Gale Sayers and OJ was the 2 that for me were the most fun to watch. Emmitt was my hero in the Cowboys Super Bowl years. Berry was a great back on a bad team. Statices favor Jimmy Brown.

    Ditto. Played on horrible teams with no passing game, and pretty sure he had a pro bowl offensive lineman only one season. Most complete back...

    I wasn't even alive to see Brown play and only caught Walter at the very end of his career. In my lifetime Barry was the best. The other two were probably better, but I never saw them play.

    Jim Brown should be on this list, because he would have my vote.

    You guys need to checkout the footage on what this guy did over his career. Not only did this guy just ran over everyone, and had the moves to boot.
