SW Pennsylvannia Representin'! I live in Lone Pine Pa, small country community about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. It is very close to Washington, PA. I work in Uniontown PA.
In college football only 31 players have ever had over over 2000 yards in a season... including:
Barry Sanders - 2628
Marcus Allen - 2342
LaDainian Tomlinson - 2158
Rickey Williams - 2124
Rashaan Salaam - 2055
In the NFL only 5 player have achieved this milestone:
Eric Dickerson - 2105...
True, Thuman Thomas did have good hands and he did set some of the standard of being and running/passing RB, there are many others as well. Eric Dickerson was good out of the backfield since they ran from the run and shoot a lot. Marion Butts was a threat lining up as a wide out for the...
I believe that LT has the most potential to become a HoF RB. Given how he is off and on the field and how he trains he has the most potential. He hasn't run for over a 100 in the past few weeks, but Emmitt, Sweetness, and Barry all had their up and down games.
Also something that LT has...
Emmitt Smith has a great line in front of him for a long time. Dallas always had huge, talented OLs, but that didn't take away from what a great and durable running back he was. Out of 4924 recorded times in touching the ball (Rushing and Receptions) he only fumles the ball 61 times. Which =...
I agree on taking Emmitt or Sweetness but running backs take more beatings. The only reason QB's are on the DL so often is becasue they are so vulnerable to getting hit. Almost every running play they get hit by a 230+ lb linebacker running forcefully at them and then a pile forming of 300+ lb...
I agree. Many NFL teams use this method for instant improvement in the NFL:
(1) Lose nearly all your games to earn a high draft pick
(2) Select a star college running back
(3) Insert him into the starting lineup and let him run like crazy over opposing defenses.
I don't like this method...
Getting on topic...
Having a 1000 yar seaon designated an average running back from an everyday, everydown running back. About 15-25 runningback do it every season but, that is what a 1000 yard running back means. If you get 1500 yards in a season that means at it has already been said, you...
Well I see what he is saying, the fans cared that he quit, b/c they wanted to see him play for years to come. But the fans were being selfish b/c they didn't care about his health until he would have become injured, and that would have been too late.

I'm not sure if this symbol is an ampersand or an at symbol. Is there another name for it? B/c I can't think of it and no one else at work can think of it
Barry Sanders is one of the top 5 all time greatest running back that ever played the game, hands down. I understand that he did quit but that doesn't tarnish his career. His team was very bad and he was at injury everytime he stepped out on the field, reguardless if his team was magnificant...
