1) you are so wrong about the 18 season thing, who thought emmitt would play that long? give me a break!
Emmitt played 15 years.... No back has ever played 18. Sorry.
#2) to say barry had no power is absolutely absurd you having no backing what so ever in saying that.
Then why would the Lions take him out of the game on short yardage situations?
#3) i didnt ask how many people dont think barry is the greatest. i answered the question of who i thought was the greatest.
This is an open discussion. I am discussing why I feel Brown should be considered the greatest, not Barry.
#4) jim brown had a very good offensive line back then also, barry never had a line worth a crap.
Barry's line looked worse than it was cuz Barry NEVER hit the hole without stutter stepping first.
#5) ive seen many many highlights on jim brown, and besides running over guys with pure strenght, he never made my jaw drop like the cuts and moves that barry sanders made time and time again!
Just because he's more entertaining to watch, does not mean he is the best... for example, Michael Vick.
#6) not only is jim brown a very poor role model, but he also is very very raceist. barry sanders was a model citizen his entire career, and was a role model for children and adults to look up too. now i dont agree with quiting his team, but that is the only caracter knock against him his entire career!
They're athletes not role models, stop idolizing people cuz they play sports.
