    Best Running Back Ever!
    How do you know?

    I'm 10 years older than you and I never saw him play.

    While he may be the best ever, those of us who have never seen him really can't say that.

    It's kinda like spitting out dogma, if you think about it.

    ACK!

    • Just because you've never seen someone play means you can't evaluate them . That's what numbers are for...

      I mean if you have to see players to decide which are better, that eliminates like at least half of sports arguments .

        If you look at the numbers, Brown doesn't really stack up that well, except in yard per attempt, which is, of course, a big one.

        My favorite running back of all time to watch was Earl Campbell then Barry Sanders.

          Ya think?

          Also TDs per game I'd imagine is pretty high, eh?

          • Mercury Morris doesn't get enough credit, for one thing.
            The Tyler Rose wasn't around long either. Houston used him up. He was awesome.
            Dickerson. Once he set sail, he was gone.

                    he didn't play that many years did he? Was it due to injury or did he just retire early?

                    He' have a lot more stats leads if he played longer.

                        From what film I've seen of him, he was on another level.

                        • So, is anyone watching the game tonight?

                            • And some fantasy football "expert" was recommending Mark Clayton today in one of the Chicago area newspapers.
