Tac, you know I got much respect for you, and you're one of the few guys on here I can disagree with and it doesn't turn into a 9 page pissin match, but, Walter Payton was better than Barry....
I watched Barry Sanders a lot in his career and have seen him do spectacular things. He had all of those consecutive years with 1000 yards rushing and 2053 yard season with a shitty O-Line. I put him at #1 all time.
my list goes like this:
1. Barry Sanders
2. Jim Brown
3. Walter Payton
4. O.J. Simpson
5. Marshall Faulk
