Believe it or not, I think Emmitt Smith is overrated... Now before people start jumping all over me, hear me out first. In his prime he was running behind arguably the best offensive line EVER! I recall his best season seeing some stat that Emmitt gained some 600 yards on the season from the line of scrimmage without being touched. That's amazing, hell I could rush for 1,600 yards if I knew would 600 yards without being touched.

Now I'm not saying he's a scrub because he's not. I just don't think there was ever a time where I thought he was the best in the league, even when he lead the league in rushing, and I sure as hell don't think he's good now. The only thing I like about Emmitt is he's a class act, in my opinion. Also, he works hard, always out there to give 100%, which is commendable but I just think he's overrated.
