Greatest RB Game

[jackrussell]

If Earl Campbell or Gale Sayers had lasted longer they would definitely be in the running. Of course, if Jim Brown would have played 15 seasons, Emmitt might still be chasing him.

Put Bo Jackson down on the 'if only' list.

Put Bo Jackson down on the 'if only' list.

Definitely!

You could add Terrell Davis, William Andrews, Billy Sims, and a bunch of others as well, guys who were playing great then got hurt or wore out early.

Heck, you could put Duane Thomas on that list. If only his head worked right...

This is a tricky question that comes down to how you weight the following criteria:

A RB for one play: J. Brown / E. Campbell
A RB for one game: Emmitt / W. Payton / J. Brown / G. Sayers
A RB for one season: E. Dickerson / O. Simpson / E. Campbell / W. Payton
A RB for one career: Emmitt / W. Payton
A RB for one episode of Sportscenter: E. Campbell / B. Sanders
A RB on 3rd and goal: Emmitt / Campbell / Brown / [oh, sorry - Sanders isn't even in the f*ing game]

If I had to pick one player to start a team, it would be Earl Campbell. Any position, any time period, any criteria you want to throw out. If I had to pick one player to start a team, great team, established team, expansion team, whatever stage of development, it would be Earl Campbell.
