NFL Mount Rushmore (Stephen A put in Emmitt)

[T.he I.nformant]

The premise of a Mt. Rushmore as a applied to sports is kind of flawed, or at least problematic. Who says GW, TJ, Teddy, and Abe are the greatest presidents ever? Where's FDR? Where's his bust? Oh, so it was built before FDR. Well, that's dumb. You tryna tell me history can't be revised? Why can't we build another mountain in order to acknowledge other greats? Why would we still have debate even if there were 10 spots? Why Montana universally reserved a spot on that mountain but Elway can't even get an imprint of a horseshoe? Why I can't come through in the pecan jag?

I cant understand the constant disrespect of Emmitt Smith.

Whats really fukked up is alot of you snot nosed ninjas never even saw him play. All I hear about is his offensive line when that line only produced 1 hall of famer. What happened when Emmitt held out in '93 and Derrick Lassic was runnin the ball behind this great offensive line?

Emmitt is the all time leading rusher I dont wanna hear shyt..

He was the best in High School, the best in college and he was the best in the NFL.
Annoyin ass nikkas..

Barry blacked in 88 when he won the heisman so not that year. Emmitt was a Sophomore. Why do guys keep comparing Emmitt and Barry?

Why?

They were both all time greats

The emmitt hate is cute. Y'all know nothing about football. Y'all know enmity was a pro bowler in 91 right? Who were the Dallas oline pro bowlers? Trivia question. Ill wait for the answer.

Emmitt was a great back, i dont think anyone would say otherwise.

But when you put him up as a top 4 player of all time you gotta expect some pushback. If he wasnt better than Barry then how can he go up as top 4?

who said the Mt Rushmore was about who was the most talented or atheletic ? Maybe their criteria was on life time achievements in the league ?

Emmitt and Barry both dominated. They were the best. Emmitt bein on this mythical Mt. Rushmore is a product of what he accomplished. He accomplished more than Barry. 3 SBs, NFL MVP, Super Bowl MVP and NFL's all time leading rusher.. That is worthy of some Mt Rushmore.

Everyone else on the mountain is a top 2 player at their position if not the greatest ever and then you throw up Emmitt who is a debatable top 10? One of these things is not like the others........................

Just curious. What makes Jerry Rice the GOAT WR in your mind? I'm not saying I disagree, but I just want to know what criteria you'd use to argue Rice at the best/Rushmore-worthy.
