"Top 5 rushers of all time.

A running back needs to be able to get low to the ground and gain leverage on the run, and while not using his hands. He needs a strong center of mass so he is more difficult to tackle. Finally, he needs to have a solid build that is able to withstand the constant full-speed pounding their job requires from them.

  1. Emmitt Smith 5′9″ 210 lbs - Known for his freakish durability and amazing field vision. missed 2 games in his whole career with Dallas, and that was a contract holdout. He would miss more at Arizona at the end of career, but he’d already broken Payton’s record.
  2. Walter Payton 5′10″ 200 lbs- Despite his nickname, “Sweetness”, Payton was better known for his powerful running and phenomenal durability.
  3. Barry Sanders 5′8″ 200 lbs- The ultimate elusive back. When you watch a “Greatest Runs of All Time” reel, chances are, you’ve seen Sanders carry the ball. Retired early for a few reasons.
  4. Curtis Martin 5′11″ 210 lbs- Great field vision, and got this far without the fanfare of the other four backs on this list. His time with the Patriots and Jets saw consistent play and an unshakable will.
  5. Ladanian Tomlinson 5′10″ 215 lbs- Mr. San Diego. In my opinion, he was the most complete running back on this list, with Payton being a very close second. He not only ran the ball with agility and power, but he was also a great pass-catcher and a by-the-book blocker.

These backs have something in common- they are just under six feet tall and weigh in the low 200’s. Some on the top rushers’ list are larger (Jerome Bettis) or smaller (Warrick Dunn), those ranges seem to be the prototype"

 

I am a fan of the big bruising type of RBs. Love Stew. 

That being said, CMC isn't too small.

 

Hall of Fame guys on this list, just saying.

    • I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
    • Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!
    • Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.
