Barry Sanders. No running back did more against a better level of competition with the least amount talent around him.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion nor how the talent around him factors in to being the best RB.

Re: Best runningback of all time
Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, LT and Marshall Faulk are the 4 greatest Running Backs I've seen play in the league ever.

When you have one of the greatest offensive line in the history the league blocking for you. That takes away from your numbers IMO. Likewise if your playing in era where its a man amongst boys I take that into consideration. To each their own though.

Why? Numbers are numbers.. Besides statistics shouldn't be the sole factor in deciding.

Not to mention of the players on this list, Sanders was hardly on the least talented team. This sounds like nothing more than trying to take a backhanded stab at Emmit Smith.

First the majority of Barry years in the league was on a bad Lions team.

Second who said anything about Emmit?

Again, Barry was hardly on the least talented team given the names on this list.

As far as Emmitt, it's quite clear where you were going with the same tired argument in an attempt to downplay his success.

Or when you were talking about playing behind the greatest offensive line and having diminished numbers you were talking about someone else?

I got Barry Sanders at first, followed by Walter Payton, than Faulk/OJ at third. Like someone stated earlier, Mike Vick #1 at a non-back position.
