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

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

As a Cowboy fan, I never put Emmitt about him, and I always caught heat for saying dikkerson was better than Barry Sanders



A young dikkerson would dominate any era. He played on trash teams for his entire career and still retired with over 13,000 yards. If he would've gone to a better franchise, he probably would've retired with 20,000 yards.

I don't know about the greatest, that's a tough choice.

He was a great RB, terrific speed and wasn't easy to tackle, but he also had fumbling issues.

A lot of people expected him to be the one to eventually break Walter Payton's rushing record, but unfortunately he hit that 30 wall. It's not surprising, the Rams ran him to the ground.

Nah E Dikk should be in the mix. Not sure why he never gets mentioned.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

U misspelled Barry Sanders.

 

[murksiderock]

Tiki had an equal peak and is easily one of the greatest ever but gets overlooked because of his short career...

I see where you’re coming from so I won’t say you’re wrong


But imma have to disagree

He's up there in the discussion with Jim Barry Emmitt Walter etc. And that is all you can ask for cause they all were great in different ways.

Hell no you wouldn't be wrong OP. dikkerson was a phenom. 6'3 225 fastest guy on the field, and was bout dropping that gear. Like someone else said had he been on a better team in his Prime his numbers would be even better than they were the bum ass Rams definitely ran him into the ground.

Even today it’s rare to have a tall rb

I had the same reaction but damn after looking at Tikis numbers I didn’t know he had such high quality years
