Who was is your favorite NFL RB?

[Wagerallsports]

I remember him From Tampa. Guy was a beast Wager.

Hasn't been anyone since who could run ppl over & drag defenders like he did

He was a lot of fun to watch

Bo was over rated in baseball for sure and maybe a lil over touted in his football hobby due to long runs and highlights. not enough time to really know how good he could have been.

8 Career 100+ yard rushing games for Bo

Talking about 100 yard rushers Archie. Jim Brown was and is the only Rusher to ever average over 100 yards per game in his career. That's impressive. Because Back in the day NFL teams ran more often than passing and defenses keyed in on stopping the run. Which makes it that much more impressive.

My Favorite?

Mike Alstott

The Best?

Barry Sanders & not even close

Yes Bo could have been in the conversation but we'll never know since he didn't play enough

not even top ten

I'll list two:

*Pre-Super Bowl era = Paul Hornung

*Super Bowl era = Earl Campbell

*Super Bowl era = Earl Campbell

Excellent choice.

2. Walter Payton

As a lifelong Buccaneers fan, I had to suffer through us playing against them both twice per year in the old Black & Blue division

No doubt Wager. Guy was a bully. That's why he injured his neck and retired. Guys it's who's your favorite past/present. Not the top running backs or GOAT.

As for currently, I'm not really sure which RB I like seeing the most

Maybe McCaffrey since he does it all

Austin Ekeler too

Wags, I was a huge Alstott guy. They don't make em like him anymore.

Going back to his college days, the scouts didn't like him, didn't think he could play. Gary Danielson asked "Why not?"

Remember the Alstott training tapes when he was pulling a truck? The physicality of Alstott and John Lynch made me a Bucs fan. The Ram-Buc games were must-see TV.

Frank Gore was my guy as a Niner fan. All time I think the best running back is/was Jim Brown even though I've never seen him play. Guys that belong in the coversation are Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders all of whom were tremendous running backs.

gore's longevity was amazing

They sure don't Chucky

Yes I remember

That Rams offense vs Bucs defense were indeed great games

They didn't call Mike Alsott A-Train for nothing.

I think Derrick Henry is bigger (+ faster and blacker)

Probably

But even Henry nor Campbell ran over & thru defenders like Alstott

Also Alstott had to share the backfield with Warrick Dunn

 

[edawg]

I was a Merrill Hoge guy

He thought that Canada was part of the United States. Typical Steeler

Maybe he said that AFTER all the concussions.
