hmmmm....? little lost from reality?
He's just a typical Cowboy fan in the Emmit vs Barry debate. People used to use the argument that Barry was all or nothing and he had too many negative yards. Well lo and behold, what happened when Emmits line began to suck and he would get hit behind the line? He started taking losses. Pretty frequently.

Barry Sanders was perfectly capable of doing the things all normal running backs do, including running behind a good line and a fullback. Unfortunately, he never had a line, QB OR coach that was worth a damn.

Bottom line: Switch, Barry on the Boys and Emmit on the Lions, and Barry is the yeards leader and it's not even close, the Cowboys still have three titles, and Emmit, while still great, is not even in the conversation of best RB's of all time.
