A couple of names come to mind. The old timers all say Jim Brown. He was before my time.
The best I ever saw over a short period of time was Earl Campbell. For about folur or five seasons he was unstoppable. However, his decline came real fast.
For a career it was Emmit Smith. I always liked him better than Barry Sanders. Sanders was more dynamic, but Emmit was better at moving the chains consistantly.
I'm not a Cowbay fan and have no rooting intrest between the two of them . That is just the way I saw it.

Jim Brown.

reggie bush played college for usc and now for the best team on earth new orealeans saints

It's a three-way tie between Jim Brown, Walter Payton, and Emmitt Smith.

Gale Sayers or Barry Sanders with out a doubt

Let me add Terrell Davis one of a few 2000+ yds rusher, super bowl and league MVP, etc

Gotta agree Jim Brown was probably the best of all-time but Barry Sanders, Walter Peyton, Earl Cambell, Gale Sayers and Emmitt Smith all rank up there too

don't forget eric dickerson

If you look at speed, vision, yards and touchdowns. Hands down Emmitt Smith is clearly the greatest of all time. Its in the stats!

Hey coach, we may agree on Emmit being at the top of the heap. But to call Sanders a big mouth is a little out of line. You say not so big talent.? He rushed for over 1000 yards every year he played. He even had a 2000 yard season in there. Let's remember too that Barry had a less than stellar O line.
A big mouth? The guy had a lot of class. He played for only one team his whole career. When it looked like the Lions were never going to win he retired rather than demand a trade. Even Emmit switched teams towards the end of his career.

I think if Barry Sanders had the team that Emmitt did he would have been the all time rush leader. However, Barry was stayed with his team, win or lose.

Walter Payton was the best . Barry Sanders , Jim Brown and Earl Campbell were right up there, however nothing compares to" Sweetness".
