Lost my 5 star status. Just the blasphemy of saying Jim Brown is the greatest and Trent is not Jim.
Guess it was a matter of time. Thanks Bol

Trent is great but he is no Jim Brown.... I am not saying he couldn't turn out like Brown, but I see more Earl Campbell

When I say turn out like Jim Brown, I mean a similar career.... not identical to Brown....
No one is ever like another player, but they can be similar in styles, careers and success .....

Bamashack you're great and Imma let you finish, but Weedline had the greatest BOL is mean to me thread of all time!

I always hate when folks complain about up votes or down votes matters not to me. Just amazed how little appreciation people have for those that have done it before. I'll gladly lose votes in order to call out fools for calling a all time great like Brown marginal.
Stupid logic. Best to ever do it. He's entitled to his opinion.

To be fair, and I'm not in the BOL bunch, there is a BIG discrepancy is the athletes that TR will be playing against in the NFL than Jim Brown did. What would TR do to those scrubs that Brown was playing against? Would Jim Brown have been the same Jim Brown if he was at his prime in today's NFL?

Not arguing RATT but JB didn't have the strength training, nutrition, genetics, etc. Its hard to compare eras. I think Sanders is the best ever but JB (all things equal) would rock in any era.

Your probably right that he would be a perennial All-Pro but he wouldn't just bow over the defensive players in the NFL today. You can't just play pinball all game long with guys half your size in today's NFL like you could in the sixties. I would also think that Jim Brown's genetics were just fine and nutrition isn't that far off. Eat a lot of damn protein and lift weights. The equipment is a lot different now but the people he played against didn't hardly lift weights.
