Better Running back?

[FATAL NYGHTMARE]

And like I said before…Jim Brown hasn’t carried the ball in 40 YEARS

Which is a good thing for him because players back then weren't nearly as quick, strong and versatile as they are now (or when Barry Sanders was playing for that matter). Defensive schemes are 100x deeper than they were 40 years ago. Jim Brown would not be running over LBs in this day and age like he was doing back in the day. It's a completely different game and you don't seem to be taking any of that in as you form your opinion.

That's got to be the most ignorant thing I've ever seen typed. You act like over the past 40 years defensive schemes have been the only thing that have changed and gotten stronger. Hey retard, do you realize the same applies to offensive schemes / O'linemen, running backs, etc???

Obviously not. Think before you type.

This is a matter of opinion, and if you think that an opinion makes you better than other people, then I honestly feel sorry for you.

 

[T-Dubb]

Brown would run over linebackers today just as easy as he did back then. he was a monster

 

[KrazeeRDM]

Barry Sanders.

I realize that, and I also realize that Jim Brown's bruiser style would not get him the same success against today's defenses.

Today's defenses are much more prepared than they were when Jim Brown played. The players he embarrassed were completely unprepared for him and if you ever actually WATCHED any film you'd know what the fuck I'm talking about. I understand what you're trying to say about offenses being better now, that's all fine and good. But the fact remains any defense can stop ANY player if they choose to run a scheme to do so. There was no scheme to stop Jim Brown because they weren't there yet. In modern day football, they would create a scheme to at least contain him. You act like Jim Brown was physically superior to today's players and would be able to adjust like nothing, which is not the case. A lot of you cats are talking about Jim Brown as if you know anything about the guy, when in reality you only know what others have told you. I've done numerous reports on the man so unlike a lot of you I have actually studied the guy. Most of you don't know jack shit about this subject and are just stating an opinion you picked up from a sports video you watched or a column you read by some beat writer.

^^^not me just stating my opinions

FATAL, the point of this post (correct me if I'm wrong) is NOT "which running back would succeed most often against today's defenses"... you're twistin shit around throwin muthafuckas in different eras names through the mud to try to prove you know jack shit about football, which is a bitch move, plain and simple. Talk alllll day long about how much you've "studied" and how much game film you've religiously watched to form your opinions. I quite frankly don't give a shit. Get the fuck outta here with your "I know more than anybody else so my opinion is gospel and fuck yours, and if I could I'd sprinkle fairy dust over the corpse of Jim Brown and stick him up against Brian Urlacher to prove my point but I don't need to because I'm right regardless!"

Stick to facts not hypothetical bullllshit

I wish Barry didn't retire early!

Get the fuck outta here with this bullshit. I know what the fuck the point of the thread is, but dumbasses like yourself don't take obvious factors into account when you form your retarded ass opinions. Faggots like you have to come in here and talk shit, but never back anything you say. Your punk ass knows everything I said was true, so now you're trying to make it seem like I'm putting Jim Brown down. Move on bitch, you have no place here.

It's hard to place someone from another era above players from a newer era, because back then it was not the same. The game wasn't full of superstars and defensive talent like it is now, so of course somebody like Jim Brown would have a field day out there because he was so much better than everyone else. That would not be the case today and you know it. So move the fuck on unless you have a real argument against what I just said.

The whole reason I'm even speaking hypothetical is because that's the only fuckin way you can compare players from different eras. Barry Sanders would have embarrassed everyone if he played in Jim Brown's day. Shit, he embarrassed everyone when he played in his own day. That's the point I'm making, and if you weren't such a fuckin idiot you would have figured that out on your own instead of acting like I'm changing the subject.

I'm sorry, but you're pathetic nigga. Dude hasn't said a single word to you, hasn't even acknowledged you, and you still takin shots at him like he fucked your old lady or somethin. What's the issue here, really? Seems like all you do is waste space on this forum by following dude around and talking shit knowing that he's never gonna give you a response because it's obvious that's what you want. You on some female shit nigga, for real. Shit gets old. Your dumb ass is always acting like you know more than everyone else, but the only thing that ever comes out of any of your posts is shit talk. Never any facts, just opinions followed by a load of bullshit. I'll be browsing this forum, reading what people have to say and normally everyone is cool and there's some interesting shit in here, but then you come in and run your mouth with nothing to back anything you say, ever. Shit gets old nigga. You need to grow the fuck up.

I agree with Fatal on this. I think he was playing against a bunch of garbage players to tell you the truth. Defensive schemes now days would probably help contain him (i.e. 8 in the box). And today's defenders are bigger and better. I could be wrong though because I haven't seen too much film of him but when I did he was just throwing fools off of him. So I'd still go with Barry Sanders. The highlights and statistics speak for themselves!

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Pfffffft. Defenses are soft these days. Typically, every year you only see two maybe three teams that play solid defense.

You go back, even just 15-20 years, defenses were much more physical, much more punishing. Yes, defensive schemes are more complex now, but thats because offensive schemes are more complex as well, not too mention new rules have been implemented that have greatly benefited the offense which allow them to score more points and stay on the field longer (ratings)....the game has evolved a bit, but you look at like the 85 bears defense for example and you tell me a modern defense can even compare to that. Nope, not even close to the same level.

Todays defenses have nothing on the defenses of old, besides a few exceptions. Teams were built entirely on defense back then, something you rarely see these days (bears, ravens and tampa bay are the only real exceptions but even then their defenses don't compare)

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

^ I agree. Defenses used to be WAY better, and there weren't as many rules protecting players (QB's in particular). Fools used to FUCK eachother up playing football, no pussy shit. Football now is soft compared to football back then...

 

[CZAR]

Now I agree with 2-0sixx cause the league is pussified now! So usin that bullshit that Brown wouldnt do shit nowadays cause of the defenses is wack!! Mufuckaz is all about money now and like he said there are usually 2 or 3 defenses that actually play anyway! So yall keep tryin!! And to intense booboo, here u go again??? Like phil said are u this niggas bodyguard or bootyguard?? It bothers u more that I talk about fatal gansta red then it appears to bother him! Is his dick that tasty?? wow!! hahah!!! Do what u do I guess cause Im a keep doin what I do so u must either deal with it or browse a swimsuit forum or sumthin!! Look at this doodoo ass nigga!! Got Em!!
