Was Walter Payton the best running back in NFL history??

Faulk was amazing...

I think everyone loved Bo...he was the Mike Tyson of football. His dominance in Super Tecmo Bowl helped his popularity as well.

One question...why is Payton not on your list? He wasn't before your time was he?

He was just before my time and my dad never really watched sports. So I was still too busy fishing and riding bikes in FL to care about football then...not a bad life

I didnt see Marshall Faulk on anybodys list...

My hero as a kid...Bo Jackson

Of the RB's I've watched my rank would be Sanders, Faulk, LT, Edge, Thurman Thomas, Smith, Terrel Davis, Bettis, Watters, Martin

(Yes I am probably leaving a bunch out)

Faulk is on my original post as a RB that I would take over Payton.

U got a pretty good list though and I would take many of those RBs over Payton as well.

Ricky Watters very under rated rb

Ricky "Running" Waters was a bad man but it still sticks with me when he alligator armed a pass over the middle with the Eagles and said "For Who? For What?" when asked why he didn't try to catch it. I am of course biased because it was with my team though. He was very good for them overall though.

I've said the I love the fact that WP was an outstanding human being...there's an award named after him, right?

He was also an outstanding football player.

The most rushing touchdowns he's ever scored in a season is 14.

Cam Newton scored that many this season.

And I also believe he was apart of the greatest team in the history of the NFL.

It's silly to compare stats from that era to this era. The offenses are so much more protected now and the defenses were so much more ferocious and able to get away with more then.

I do agree that he was part of the greatest team in the history of the NFL, though. Fug the 72 Dolphins. :D

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
