Top 10 RBs of All Time

1. W. Payton
2. J. Brown
3. E. Dickerson
4. B. Sanders
5. G. Sayers
6. O.J. Simpson
7. J. Riggins
8. E. Campbell
9. F. Harris
10. M. Allen

With all due respect to Payton and Brown I think Barry Sanders was the best back. He played on a Detroit team that was not very good. He got a lot of yards on his own because of his skills.

Barry is my #1 choice.

but there is a spot in my heart for Bo Jackson. Only if...

What about Trung Canidate??

Brown, however played when seasons were 12 games long. That's amazing! And I believe he still holds the best avg yds. per carry. Walter played on a lot of crappy teams too.

What was the name of that guy that went "running back" to Athens from the Battle of Marathon? That should go down as a top 10 running back of all-time.

No LaDainian Tomlinson?

No LaDainian Tomlinson?

LT is a good candidate for most exciting so far...if he keeps this up for let's say another 3-5 yrs. I think he should def. be in the top ten.

From what I read online and in the newspapers, this whole list should be scrapped and replaced with Reggie Bush, positions 1-10. Screw Barry Sanders and Walter Peyton, Bush tops them all.

I know there's the minor issue that he's never taken an NFL snap in his life, but hey, the media hype alone can't be wrong.

1. Sweetness
2. Barry Sanders
3. Jim Brown
4. Gayle Sayers
5. O.J.
6. Eric Dickerson
7. Emmit Smith
8. Marshall Faulk
9. Earl Campbell
10. John Riggins

I had a hard time leaving out Marcus Allen, and I can't add Franco. He'd run backwards to the sideline over trying for a couple more yards and getting hit anyday.
