Emmitt In Dis Bitch!!! Best RB Ever!!!!
- Thread starter KINGCZAR
- Start date
What Emmitt has done is way too freakin incredible, the guy doesn't run a 4.3 forty yard dash and he's certainly not the biggest running back in the NFL. He dispelled that myth when he entered this league. Great vision, heart, determination, longevity and quickness got him here and it's well deserved. And Emmitt is still running very well. Does anyone know what the heck our offensive line is made of?
No Larry Allen
A rookie Center
A guy picked of the waiver wires two weeks ago
The worse blocking fullback in the NFL
Underachieving Flozzell Adams
A DEFENSIVE TACKLE CONVERTED TO an offensive tackle.
24-109 yards is pretty damn good...Emmitt can still run. And should be with the Cowboys for a loooooooong time.
SALUTE TO ONE OF THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THIS GAME!!!

Barry retired wut, 2 yearz ago? and he needed juzt over 1,000 yardz to break that record....if he had played tha lazt 2 seazonz Barry would own that record and would be about 1,000 yardz pazt it by now. add that to tha fact that he had no fuckin lyne at all and you got tha reazonz why he iz tha bezt ever. Emmitt iz not tha bezt and never will be. hiz lyne may suck NOW but when he racked up 90% of thoze yardz, he had a huge lyne which wuz very good. he'z not tha bezt.
if im goin into the super bowl and needed to pick one back to lead my team....im takin Jim Brown....is Emmitt one of the best ever?? hell yes...but to say hes the best when youve never even seen Jim Brown play or remeber teh shit Walter Payton did with an offensive line 10x's worst the Emmits worst line ever is uphauling...i know your opinion is biased but please think about this one for a minute...but i must give credit where credit is due...he is a class guy and he deserved everything he got....and these comments are comming from a certified cowboy hater.
Well thats where u wrong!! It is always bein disputed, and if u rememeber in either 1999 or 2000, J. Brown was not only voted greatest running back of alltime, but greatest football player of alltime!! And B. Sanders was already retired and Emmitt didnt have the record yet!! So go figure, that is your opinion, but wont change mine and alot of other folks!!
"Everyone states, "Well, he ran behind a great OL!" as the reason he has the record. They say Troy, Irvin, Novacek, etc were a large part.
Well, let's take a look at his stats from 1996-2002, the span of time since he was last part of a dominant team. Do also recall that during this span he wasn't the same player he was earlier in his career due to age, injuries, etc...anyhow...
Emmitt has played in 100 games from 1996-2002.
He has rushed for 7787 yards and 54 Touchdowns in that span.
Broken down, that is 77.87 yards per game, and .54 rushing touchdowns per game.
In his career, Emmitt has played in 193 ballgames.
So, let's say that he played his entire career with that average (as opposed to the 96 yards per game he had from 1990-1995), just so we could see what his stats could have looked like without the "dominant" offensive line, the dynasty team, etc.
At that average, in the 193 games he has played in, he would have 15,028 yards and 104 rushing touchdowns right now.
So, take away all those years under the great teams, and replace them with averages based on the Emmitt from 1996-2002, and those are your numbers.
Phenominal.
This dispells any theory he was only dominant because of an OL. Not to mention, remember, Emmitt's talent level is not what it was back in the early 90s. His best years talent-wise came when he had the best personnel surrounding him.
Yeah, it was all the OL. Uh huh.
Emmitt was 27 in 1996. Those are the projected stats for what the guy has accomplished from ages 27-33. Again, amazing."
