Barry Sanders

IIt would be if you knew who his OC was.

I assume you already know the answer to that? You know who his QB was too, right?

Just a shout...but Melvin Gordon's 2014 season is also absurd. 2740 scrimmage yards and 32 TDs. Sheeeeeeesh. 2014, too.

Kevin Smith had 2809 and 30 TDs, too. Shouts to former Miami RB Coach.

Barry had 2734 scrimmage yards and 37 TDs ....in THREE less games. I'm not knocking you or Melvin; simply pointing out how much more awesome Barry is/was.

Oh and Barry returned kicks in college also - had 3 punt return TDs and 3 KO return TDs in his college career.

IMMA MAN! IM 40!!

Thread is reminding me how I spent all of my middle school and high school years arguing with my friends who were diehard Cowboys fans that Barry was better than Emmitt.

I know… my mistake was having friends who were Cowboys fans.

He’s my favorite offensive player of all time. Easily the best RB I ever laid eyes on. Absolutely unstoppable.

He’s my 1B behind Jerry Rice.

He's no Mark Walton.

Best Bengal of all-time. No question

 

[jackedaround]

you want a hot take? no canes RB will ever have 28 TDs in a season again (willis did it).

Idk about Bengal but certainly best Dolphin RB of all-time

Can't get mad at that. I loved watching the Niners as a kid. They had a squad! Montana, Rice, Craig, Rathman... That offense was nice.

Rice wasn't a burner, either. That, and his longevity (20 years), are some of the most appealing things about him. The level of success that man had was all work ethic. He worked his *** off. Ever hear about his workouts?

1A and 1B for me as well.

Best ever!!!

Jim brown in the 90’s would be pretty good.
Barry in the 50’s TD every touch.

Yeah but all that dancing would get him killed game 1 in today’s game. Defenders are too big, too fast, too strong!

Just pointing out some other wild numbers is all.

The craziest thing about this to me is that they played a college football game (in December of all months) in Tokyo!

Absolutely… he’s the single reason I got into football. Being a young kid in the late 80’s not really knowing anything about football I could tell by watching him he was different and he was the best at doing “whatever it was these guys were doing out there”. I was elementary school when they beat the Bengals in the Super Bowl. I was all in after that.

As an adult I come to find out he’s a bit of a ****head but Imma huge compartmentalizer (gift and a curse) so whatevs.

Yeah, these guys are human. Definitely gonna get your fair mix of personalities.

I just know him as the athlete. Not much more tbh.

 

[UMercury21]

You wouldn't (hardest pause)?

depends, is it ron dayne or barry sanders.

 

[Canezum5]

I dont even think defenses would allow someone to run for rushing yards like that week and week out in todays game. Especially in P5 ball. Lol. Barry Sanders and Okie State can rest assured nobody will ever break those records.

I don't think defenses allowed it then either. Lol.
They couldn't stop him.
