May not be a popular opinion here but I think he was the greatest RB ever. He was a man among boys.

Very sad news... RIP

RIP Jim.....

Jim Brown, one of the greatest RBs ever in NFL history.



May he rest in peace.

I have Jim Brown, Jerry Rice, and Tom Brady, in no particular order, as the NFL's top 3 greatest players of all time. Maybe Don Hutson as 4th between those 3 guys.

A great player. RIP Mr. Brown

My late father always said, "There was no greater football player than Jim Brown - he was the best ever."

 

[SinceDayOne]

He was THE man. He was the best RB of all time IMHO. Look at some of those old tapes of the guy. Gale Sayers, Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, OJ were all good but Brown was better. Emmett and Tony Dorsett were my heroes and still are but Brown was better. RIP great one!!

Passed away late last night, 87 years old. I'm with you, conner; greatest RB ever. Never missed a game in his 9 yr career.
Baltimore TE John Mackey says Brown once advised him, "Always make the guy who tackled you remember how much it hurt."
A lot of very good linebackers say he "was unstoppable."

Time for us to raise a glass and toast the great one, because there will never be another Jim Brown.

RIP, Mr. Brown.

Just learned about it through Mark Holmes. That's an absolute tragedy. Prayers for his family. From what I've seen on YT, he was an absolute legend on the field. Possibly the best RB ever to play the game.

RIP

Started watching a couple years after he retired. All the real old timers swear by him. Have to admit on film looks like a man amongst boys. RIP.

I had tickets to watch him against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving 1966, but he retired to make the Dirty Dozen.

The real #32. Sad day for the NFL and all of sports. In 1963 Brown averaged 6.4 yards a carry!!!!

And on D LT. JB a man amongst boys on that field.

 

[TheMightyVanHalen]

Wow. What a sad day. Flags should be lowered in his honor. The dude did more for his communities in one day than that one guy who got buried in a gold casket on live TV ever did in his entire life. Unfortunately good guys like him don't get that type of respect.

RIP Jim "Jack Trevor" Brown
