I liked watching Barry run also.

What about all the negative yards?


To me Jim Brown is another anomaly in that he was the first of that size/weight/speed/agility combo to play RB for a Long time. Every highlight I see of him has guys falling off his back/Knees etc. Makes me wonder about the level of Competition then. Do you EVER see four or five guys falling off the back of an RB today? In the last 20 years? 30 Years?

I think Payton is #1.

all the negative yards were a result of him having to do it ALL himself. nobody can argue taht if he didnt get it done there was nobody else that could.
