Barry Sanders Did More With Less Than Any Other Running Back Ever. Period.
Payton And Brown Tied For Second.

payton by far. i know sanders did more with less, but they still never won at all. payton carried an offense to win games with the number one qb being mcmahon and the number one receiver being gualt. i know the bears had a great defense but you still have to score points to win games and sweetness did that!!!!!!!!! Sanders was still one of the greatest backs of all time.

1. Jim Brown
2. Barry Sanders / Walter Payton
3. LaDainian Tomlinson (and he's rising)

Have to agree with Big Papi.

KANSAS GROWN BARRY SANDERS. his father worked for my grandfather for about 30 years at a brewery in wichita kansas. barry used to steal fruit from vendors just so he could be chased. of course he always returned it after he got away tho haha.

forget emmitt, i could get 1000 yds a season behind his line, and daryl johnston.
and as far as winning the big one, look at marino, stats, but no running game and he wanted one. marino was probably the best passing QB ever, but i favor montana for bring the best QB ever. being the best also includes doing the job even though you have squat, and that was barry.

Montana the best QB ever??? What??? I could throw to Jerry Rice.
