'92-'95
7921yds from scm .... 76 total TD {OFF was ran thru him}

'99,'00,'04,'05
8316yds from scm .... 60 total TD {OFF was ran thru peyton}

so the cowboys offense with troy aikman and michael irvin, 2 hall of famers, was ran only through Emmit Smith ?

All this mount rushmore talk in sports lately is real fukking silly.

and I dont know if you can count but 92-95 is 3 seasons for Emmit Smith and not 4 like you did for Edgerrin James..

it was emmitt team -it all revolved around him (troy & irv both knew this)
while
it was peyton team -edge was just a part of



'92,'93,'94,'95

Troy Aikman wasnt as good as nikkas think. Troy may have been the 5th best person on that offense.

Rushing:
92-95 emmit smith
rushing yards: 6456 yards on 1401 carries

99,00,04,05 edgerrin james
rushing yards: 6316 yards on 1450 carries

Emmith had 50 less carries and 150 more yards

Since you wanted to use from scrimmage (because Edgerrin James was taking passes from Peyton fukking Manning, lets take a look at those numbers as well)

Receiving:
92-95 Emmith Smith
receiving yards: 1465 yards on 228 catches

99,00,04,05 edgerrin james
receiving yards: 2000 yards on 220 catches

Total yards
92-95 Emmit Smith
total yards: 7921 yards with 1629 total touches of the football

99,00,04,05 Edgerrin James
total yards: 8316 yards with 1670 total touches of the football


Edgerrin James had 40 more touches of the ball in a 4 year span than Emmit Smith, but claim the cowboys offense was ran through Emmit Smith (when it was a more balanced offense) brehs

The offense was ran through Emmitt!

Playing with Troy Aikman aint shyt compared to playing with Peyton as Aikman aint really all that good.

 

[itsyoung!!]

The offense was ran through Emmitt!

then how or when did Michael Irvin and Troy Aikman put up their hall of fame numbers ?

I dont think yall understand what running the offense through someone is


you see what the vikings do with Adrian Peterson? Thats running the offense through a player.

You cant have 3 different players, playing 3 different positions put up hall of fame numbers on the same team and same time frame and claim the offense was ran only through 1 player..

I mean lets just use common sense and rational thought here for a second, which I know is rare for the coli

 

[Keengcong]

Wait a min... so #22 don't get no credit for actually playing well behind that line?

Don't act like it wasn't other backs who had great lines and didn't do what Smith did... Dude put up numbers over a very extended period of time. Was he Barry Sanders or Jim Brown? NO But I can't believe how folks wanna shyt on old boy like he wasn't a legend.

 

[VBM]

Holding Emmitt's team/o-line against him is a slippery slope. Nobody's holding the fact that Joe Montana/Steve Young QBed for Jerry Rice against Rice (or vice-versa). Randy Moss was chillin' with the Randall Cunningham/Daunte Culpepper's of the world before he put in even more work in New England. Imagine Moss' numbers if he played with Tom Brady for 10 years.

 

[LezJepzin]

Emmitt?

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Negro, Marcus Allen and Dorsett sh1t on James and Davis. Fukk wrong wit u. Both of them were system backs. Davis in a Shanahan O and James with Manning

i agree that edge shouldnt be up there but what does manning have to do with this?

he wasnt out there throwing blocks for edge. and edge was the best back he played with.

Aikman and Irvin made the HOF on the strength of their 3 rings not their numbers. There are guys sitting outside of the hall looking in with better numbers than both. There was nothing remarkable about the regular season stats for either guy.

Emmit actually avg more attempts during his time with those guys than AD has during his career so far.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

I think that too, but Bo's career was too short. I'll give Smith credit for longevity

And for the record, Im more impressed by Ricky Williams' career than Edge. Edge saw no 8 or even 9 man fronts.

Good point
