What Barry did with shitty o lines and QBs and horrible defensive is really fucking impressive , I can’t picture any other RB doing what he did with those offensive line and I loved Walter . [Reply]

You didn't watch the first 2/3 of Payton's career. [Reply]
I hate to be that guy... but this appears to be a very BAD run by Pacheco in the redzone. Mahomes was visibly frustrated. Just watch the clip. #ChiefsKingdompic.twitter.com/8aXLfDrOtW

lol yes he is, he was really good at running back. It's kind of dumb to say a running back's production doesn't count if they had a good oline. I guess Priest Holmes sucked then. [Reply]

being #1 all time in rushing yards is going to land you in the top 10 ever on most people's list. I hated the cowboys in the 90's, everybody in my school was on that bandwagon and that made me hate them more but to say he definitely shouldn't be on a top 10 list is just hating for the sake of hating.

But … he doesn’t.
If you compare him to the guys on the list, he doesn’t stack up. If you put Emmett Smith on teams like the ones Barry Sanders thrived on, he’s a nothing burger. Etc.
He was a durable back with good vision. A really good player. But not an all-time great, or at least not as good as any of the players below him on this list, and not as good as players not included. [Reply]
