I don't question the man's heart (which I do with a lot of supposedly good running backs ala Robert Smith) or the man's ability. My only question is this, do you think running backs such as Barry Sanders or Jim Brown for that matter do you think they would have probably doubled the numbers Emmitt has put up??? Especially Barry. Granted Emmitt may get tougher yards but Barry has done just fine considering the majority of his career he did it with no full back.

I just wish Barry could have run behind that line of Dallas, he would probably be the leading rusher of all time easily, and arguably the greatest.
