I'm 35 years old...best backs I've seen in my lifetime are Barry and AD. My personal opinion is AD is the Lebron James of RB's...he has the type of athleticism and pure physical talent that is generational. Somebody tried to compare Gurley to Peterson...no. There has never been another Barry since he left the game, and there will never be another AD when he's done.

Gurley is close. Now can Gurley have the longevity that AD has shown considering Adrian is doing this at 30 years old now.

Agreed brotha. I always said AP was a smaller version of Bo Jackson.

He is up there and probably in my top 5. Between Barry Emmitt Walter Eric OJ and Jim who does he overtake? I guess I would have to knock dikkerson off the list even though it would kill me to do so.
