Long Island Leprechaun Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 20 minutes ago, Joe W. Namath said: My eyes I'm old enough to have seen Gayle Sayers play. He was an amazing back. In those days the hash marks were spread on the field and as Sayers pointed out, you only had one side of the field to run on and the defense knew you were coming. Didn't matter. And Sayers was one of the best punt returners of all time. Explosive in every sense. Shortened career due to injuries but a legendary back. Bo Jackson was all potential, but he never had a season where he ran for even a 1000 yards or scored more than five touchdowns. He should simply never be considered a HOF back based on the complete lack of playing time or accomplishments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal N of Provo Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Bo Jackson was one the most talented ever. Agree Walter Payton might be the best. Jerome Bettis and Christian Okaye were amazing bruisers - an under appreciated style. Barry Sanders also might be the best. He did amazing things on bad teams when everyone knew it was coming. 54 minutes ago, Long Island Leprechaun said: I'm old enough to have seen Gayle Sayers play. He was an amazing back.

genot Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 O.J Simpson ran on ice at the old Rich Stadium. If he played on astroturf he would have rushed for 2000 yards every year. Definitely in the top 5 of all time. Certainly not behind Emmitt Smith. Are you kidding me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
