Break the record? Eric Dickerson is rooting against Sequon

[thefix]

Only the all-time yardage and td record will mean anything going forward. Season stats will continue to get inflated as the seasons get longer and the rules get softer. Sustained success should have always been the HoF benchmark, too many undeserving entries in the last decade.

Top 10 RB's Alltime :

Do you consider total yds?
Longevity ?
Team they played for ?
Super Bowl rings ?

I'm sure good arguments can be made based on what one deems most important.

Barry Sanders was the best RB I have ever seen play the position. Walter Peyton would be my #2 based on longevity and a horrible Bears team. Jim Brown only played 9 seasons , but amazing still. Dickerson deserves to be on that list. Emmitt Smith has the SB rings , but is he top 10 ?
OJ was a dominant RB for a crappy team.....
Barkley is finally playing with a solid team that has a great O line , don't think he breaks the record. Either way , the extra games played makes it irrelevant imo

The best one game running back in the history of football is Bo Jackson. Nobody would want any other player to get the ball 30 times.

In Tecmo Bowl for sure

Whatever happened to that guy??

He lived a very quiet and peaceful life

 

[BigJay]

In Tecmo Bowl for sure

No doubt Bo was unstoppable in Tecmo

Barry Sanders definitely #1 he was the Michael Jordan of NFL RBs

Who knows what could have been with Bo

I agree with everything you say here.

Dickerson is the 2nd leading rusher of all time. Sure, some rushers quit early and I respect that. But DIckerson was a quiet workhorse who got the job done.

Ladanian always forgotten and under rated in these conversations.

like he slipped thru cracks and forgot how dominant he was

Bo had endless talent.
Earl Campbell was another one. Houston were terrible back then. He was a beast

 

[MinnesotaFats]

Game was better then. Today's rbs get yards because D is nickle/ dime on 75% of snaps.

I dont blame Dickerson or that half vegetable mongrol Gastineau for harboring ill will.

 

[MinnesotaFats]

Adrian Peterson best pure RB runner ever

 

[patrickbateman]

Underrated - but also not exactly a friendly guy.

Never a fan of the media.

Suffered as he came out in the same class as many great passers and in a time where the league became more pass oriented.

Dickerson also took multiple bribes to play for SMU.

It’s called NIL now.

Dude was driving a new Nissan 350 if I remember right in his playing days when a college player with any car stood out as being “unusual”.

Now they flaunt it publicly - even before NIL. Lebron and a bright yellow Hummer H1 in HS 20+ years ago for example.

I know but rules were rules and he broke them. Guy seems like a dick.

Dickerson 2nd leading single season all time. Number nine leading rusher career I think

Has always been a dick in my opinion.

There’s a reason he got shipped to Indy at the peak of his career and never really was considered the “greatest” despite his stats suggesting he merited consideration.
