Am I wrong for thinking Eric dikkerson is the GOAT running back?

[smitty22]

Earl and dikkerson were two TXHSFB legends thatany say could have went straight to the pros from HS.

Where else were they supposed to go after college?

It's early...

No, you’re not wrong. It’s your opinion backed with reasons breh.

 

[smitty22]

All these imo have cases for the goat back

Emmitt Smith
Barry Sanders
Walter Payton
Eric dikkerson

Jim Brown
Gayle Sayers
Carlos Hyde

@murksiderock Did you just say Tiki Barber had better top line speed than Eric Dikkerson??? Lmao!!!!!!

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

The only thing people really remember about Tiki is that as soon as he retired the Giants won.

No bro. Okoye had two 1000 yard seasons and was never anything close to GOAT level lol...

I'm a HUGE Lynch fan, but his peak was not GOAT-level...

Priest is the only guy you mentioned, who you could say that about, but Tiki was better for longer and has a stronger claim as a GOAT-tier running back...

There isn't a "lot" of backs you can say that about, from that era the only guys, besides obviously Faulk, who you could even suggest it about, would be Ricky, Tiki, and Priest. Nobody else, there's only a handful of guys in any era you can say that about and honestly, post 2008 or so, the only back we can say that about is Peterson (though the level of play Henry has put on the last 1.5 seasons is approaching that level if he sustains it a couple more seasons)...

Did dudes just not see Tiki play? Its kinda surprising cats acting so uninformed on Tiki's work. Who was better in his era?

What's not goat about lynch in 2011-2014? If he did that over his career or wasn't wasted in buffalo he may have a case for goat tier

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Adrian Peterson>>>>>>>>>

 

[mastermind]

You're definitely not alone in that as most people probably don't realize how great some of his seasons were statistically, and that he retired "early".

Similar to Fred Taylor.

Fred Taylor actually had longevity too, which probably surprises people considering how much he was injured earlier in his career.

U misspelled Barry Sanders.

Marshall Faulk>>>

 

[premier58]

Tell me more about Tiki being faster than ED. Would love to hear it.

 

[feelosofer]

I don't think its out of line to have Dikkerson as your personal GOAT.
