The list starts with Jim Brown. Period.

This^, and Barry Sanders agrees. He always said JB was the best

Agreed, Jim brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Dickerson, AP are my top 5 (no particular order) Where's the cowboys fan who started a thread about me for not agreeing emmit was the best RB a couple months ago?

That's not a reasonable argument? OJ had over 2,000 yards and did it in 2 less games.

the 2 less games are compensated for the amount of passing the game has come to

I think that goes both ways. The bills were one dimensional, and that dimension was OJ. Defenses had to concentrate on stopping OJ, and weren't overly concerned with the Bills beating them through the air.

so you think defenses are concerned with Ponder? every team they play loads the box. they know AP is getting the rock and they still can't stop him. like the Jordan of football. the only RB that one could argue against AP is Sanders

Walter Payton would laugh at this thread

This. He is the best to ever play the game.
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

Yes, he could crawl out of his grave now and run for 1500 yards.

Really? Will he have zombie strength because he couldn't do that 9 times in his 13 years of playing?

He would do it simply because everyone else would be too scared to tackle a zombie, of course.

Ponder with about 3,000 yards passing this year. Ferguson with 939 yards passing in 73 when OJ rushed for 2003.

CHFF Super Study: the evolution of NFL pass-run ratio

The Lions and Saints each passed the ball on more than 60% of snaps in 2011. Scott Kacsmar's CHFF Super Study focuses on the evolution of NFL pass-run ratios, from the original pass-first season of 1966, to its impact on success today.
