context

 

[#StarkSet]

context

yards per carry

 

[Jplaya2023]

yards per carry

again context. What did those dallas backs do when emmit was missing games. They were mad trash.

 

[Lakers Offseason]

Emmit is nice and belongs in the HOF, but if you're trying to argue that Emmitt is somehow on the same level as Barry as far as who the GOATs RBs are then you're fukking kidding yourselves.

ayo die hard cowboys fan here

seen every single game since like 1989


barry > emmitt EASY

 

[mvp_status]

his numbers wouldn't be as great as you assume. Barry Sanders is like the all-time leader in yards loss.

That actually makes the rest of his numbers more impressive imo

 

[Digga38]

Emmit was great....but Barry would have been a monster with that line...He would have put up his OSU numbers in the league if he had that line

 

[Carlos Huerta]

People have said barry played with crap on offense. All Im saying is that isn't true and its revisionist history.

Also What I've noticed now is when a superstar doesn't win a title the Talent off their supporting cast gets underrated in retrospect because people always look for excuses. Dan Marino is a perfect example of this.

For the record I would take Barry over emmit even tho I think emmit is EXTREMELY underrated this days.

Oh shyt.. hold up.. so Marino's offenses all those years with no running backs weren't bad??

 

[Illeye buckmatic]

So we just gonna act like Emmitt isn't one of the all-time great blocking backs or didnt have reliable hands out the backfield

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

@Front 2 Back is an idiot

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

I made this thread to salute BOTH backs and how they both did something over an 8 year stretch that will probably wont happen for a long time.

Both are great backs. HOF backs. Why can't we just leave it at that?

No, he had the Marks brothers in their primes who were one of the best WR combos ever.

For example Other then Matt Ryan which current QB has a better WR combo right now in the league?
