LeSean McCoy Said He Was Better Than Emmitt Smith

[SiCk_DiAbLo]

McCoy has been hit thee head to many timez...

 

[eromeopolk]

Yesterday on the Speakeasy podcast with Max Kellerman, LeSean McCoy said that he was a better running back than Emmitt Smith. He also said that prime for prime, he was better than Emmitt "by a long shot". Max Kellerman even gassed him up by saying that Shady would have put up absurd numbers behind Emmitt's O-line. Here's a YouTube video with the clip in it:

McCoy has a problem...

HaHa!

 

[lurkercowboy]

Notice how you don’t hear folks saying they were better than Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, Jim Brown, etc. They only go after the best, like Jordan and Emmitt.

Emmitt is the goat to me.

Its funny the way they say Rice is the goat receiver but they never knock him for the same thing they knock Emmitt for. He played with two top-10 QBs of all-time. Yea he still produced at an older age, but so did Emmitt.

Moss is the more “flashy” receiver and way more physically talented, but they never use that to knock Rice like they do with Emmitt

somebody needs to tell him if you never had 100 yards in a playoff game before or if you werent a 2000 yard type of runner sthu. He don't qualify to be with the greats. None of those bozos he does shows with have the balls to tell him the truth to his face though.

 

[CoachD]

Nope sorry you weren't! As a matter of fact you're not even remotely close to Emmitt Smith!

 

[GMO415]

Shady is not a 1st ballot but Emmitt damn sure was......case closed

 

[WillieBeamen]

I hope Emmitt dont even respond.

Dont even give this clown half a bar.

And whats funny is the OL argument. Kelce, Lane Johnson, and Jason Peters all will be in the hall of fame too.

The OLs arent that far off

That's what I'm saying. They just let him say it with no pushback. Smh acho such a.......nevermind. I'm done even talking about this topic lol

 

[kskboys]

They're such polar opposite RBs that a real comparison is almost impossible.

McCoy's comparison would be someone like Jamyr Gibbs, Roger Craig, Thurman Thomas.

Irv already took care of it for him.

 

[Thomas82]

Irv already took care of it for him.

And then Acho responded to him again.

Shady is a idiot. Great player. One of the best in his era. But he thinks because you play with talent that somehow discredits you. Emmett made things better for all of fame talent we had.

It's so stupid that the older we get the more we forget the legends.

Emmitt was good, not great. He was only great because his oline was great.

And so was his QB, WR, and TE.

Emmitt only has the record because he was too stubborn to stop playing until he was literally one of the worst backsr in the league by the end of his career.

Troy Hambrick was literally better.

I despised Emmitt the second half of his career. He wasn't about winning. He wanted the rushing record. And Jerry wanted ticket sales and ratings.

My favorite single play ever was Roy Williams hitting Emmitt so hard he cried.

The Diamond amongst trash cried. Lol

I didn't think you could squeeze water out of a diamond.

Don't tell Emmitt he was more of a cubic zirconia.

Yeah I don't understand this tank.

First off....Emmitt was a diamond surrounded by trash. Past his prime? Sure. Those rosters were inferior. You want to talk about Troy Hambrick. He stunk soon as he became a featured back. Better than Emmitt at that point? Maybe. But he for sure represents the "trash" that plagued that roster. Hambrick got fat off of a few breakaway TD's and people thought he was a every down back.

Emmitt may have the record because of his last 3 terrible seasons for his standard but if you take those out he's still a top 5 producer of all time.

And the argument I had more than anything and its done today as well.....a guy is only good because of his supporting cast.

First off.....let's look at Emmitts breakout year in 1991....he had 1500 rushing yards.

• Mark Tuinei: Starting left tackle.
• Kevin Gogan: Starting left guard.
• Mark Stepnoski: Center.
• John Gesek: Right guard.
  
  
  
  
  
• Nate Newton: Right tackle.
  
  
  
  Not a Pro Bowler in a bunch. Now guys like Eric Williams and Larry Allen would eventually come through the pipeline but Emmitt showed he was great before those guys even became starters.
  
  
  Troy benefited from Emmitt as did Irvin. As did the defense. Great teams had great players. 49ers had some great teams. Some great offensive lines and some great players. Ricky Watters played alongside Montana and Rice....if its all about supporting cast he should've broke the record or came close. Not one sniffed what Emmitt did. Thurman Thomas played with Jim Kelly and Andre Reed.
  Its a shame because I love Barry and I think Barry retiring early and being so dominant and flashy has people discredit what Emmitt was. Mind you.....Barry Sanders played with Scott Mitchel and Herman Moore. People make it like he played with corpses. Herman Moore was one of the best receivers in the league when he played.

• Its just troublesome to hear this type of talk about Emmitt. Happy about him getting hit so hard he cried.....yeah I don't get that type of hate that's reserved for Eagles but we all are different.

Emmitt was good. I said that. I don't think he was top 5 without the supporting cast.

I agree that Herman Moore was a beast tho.

That's a lot of hate for one of our greatest players one of the real Dallas Cowboys.

I would think you'd reserve that kind of hate for one of those posers we have playing now impersonating one of the real Dallas Cowboys but anyway.

First of all jackwagon Roy Williams hit did not make Emmitt cry he was emotional returning to Texas stadium. Playing his former team.

Emmitt played with a grade 3 separated shoulder to help us win the Giants game.

He was a real Dallas cowboy not one of these posers we have today that wouldn't play with a hangnail.

I didn't like seeing him in a Cardinals uniform either but if one of his goals in life was to pursue the rushing record and he had to drive the determination and the talent why should he be denied.

I agree with most of this but I don’t want guys playing hurt. I get we commend guys for playing hurt but if it hurts the team Id rather them get healthy. It’s actually kind of selfish depending on how bad someone is at the time.
