Sanders is great ..

I'm sure most of his ratings will be extremely high ..

Barry Sanders, greatest running back of all time keeping it classy. NFL needs more guys like Sanders.

Barry shouldn't even have a break tackle rating, the game should just assume he won't be tackled.

Guys need I remind you this man played behind a line that you and I could've subbed in and it wouldn't have been a difference. Best rb of all time, period.

barry sanders best rb ever. emmit had pro bowl help at offense skill positions and oline. Emmit even said it himself when he went to the cardinals he didn't know how barry could of been so effective playing behind a subpar line. Emmit experience that life as a running back ain't all gravy when you got 5 guys in front who can't block for nothing.

Total (uhhh just substitute a curse word here) and this is from a Bears fan.

Barry Sanders played with very, very little around him. Emmitt Smith played with superstars.

With no one else to contribute in any significant way on offense Barry Sanders averaged 5.0 yards per carry.

With Michael Irvin and Troy Aikman, both Hall of Famers, Emmitt Smith averaged 4.2 yards per carry.

Don't get me wrong Emmitt Smith is up there, but he is certainly not ahead of Barry. I can't imagine if Barry played on a team where the pass was as feared as the run.

Alright though, we've kind of derailed this thread. If you would like to continue this respond to this in either a thread in pro football or through PM.

Barry is a classy guy, never spiked the ball and always handed it to the ref.

As a Cowboys fan, there is no way Emmitt was better than Barry. Not even close. Emmitt was a benefactor of one of the greatest offensive lines, other weapons on offense, and just sheer volume of carries over his career. Emmitt was great, Barry was better.

I'm gonna put him on the Packers!

Barry Sanders:
1800 yd from scrimmage per yr
5.0 Y/C
99.8 Y/Game
9.9 rush TD/yr
0.67 rec TD/yr

Walter Payton:
1635 yd from scrim per year
4.4 Y/C
88 Y/Game
8.4 rush TD/yr
1.1 rec TD/yr

Emmitt Smith
1436 yds from scrimmage per year
4.2 Y/C
81.2 Y/Game
10.9 rush TD/yr
0.73 rec TD/yr

Jim Brown (normalized for a 16-game season by taking his per game rate * 16)
1880 yards from scrimmage per year
5.2 Y/C
104.3 Y/Game
13.4 rush TD/yr
2.53 rec TD/yr

IMO, I would only consider Jim Brown overall better. Emmitt had great durability, though, that was his #1 asset, imo.

^^^ Oh yeah, Jim Brown is by far the best running back of all time.

I don't see the point in having him in the game since he's not gonna move like Barry did in real life. You might as well just rename Reggie Bush to Barry Sanders and call it a day.
