You could probably make that comparison with a lot of RB's after the first few years of their career. I am sure Terrel Davis was on pace to break the record for a while there to. breaking that record is all about longevity and compliling yards. Emmit hung around several years to long just to get that record, whereas other backs either don't care to break it like Barry Sanders or break down like Earl Campbell or Gayle Sayers. Emmit smith was not even close to the best back ever...he was a very good back who managed to stay healthy and play on a great team for a lot of years.
