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:





pretty much.Bait
Every time somebody makes a comment about how great the 90's Cowboys O-line was, my response is always: until they had to block for a running back not named Emmitt Smith.McCoy hates the Cowboys and I think he is jealous of Emmitt Smith. I too am sick of this garbage about Emmitt only being good because of his offensive line. I would say McCoy was only good because he was fast.
But Emmitt Smith was successful at every level of football he played. High School, College, and the pros. Great lines on every team? I don't think so. The Cowboys had some good offensive lines, but when you really watch Emmitt Smith you can see what an exceptional talent he was. He had tremendous vision, great balance, quick feet, and a level of fortitude you don't see in many players today. We can argue about who the best running backs in NFL history are and Emmitt will always be on the list somewhere. No one is putting Shady McCoy on that list.

Junior couldn't carry Jimmy's hairspray!I watched Emmitt basically his entire career.
To say McCoy is better than Emmitt is like saying Schotty is better than Jimmy Johnson.
How many of those were first rounders?Emmitt did run behind an ALL WORLD offensive line!
And how many Pro Bowls did they go to before Emmitt got there?How many of those were first rounders?![]()
Emmitt had a elite offensive line!Joe Montana sucked because he had the greatest WR of all time, a HoF running back and TE. Not to mention a roster full of all pros at multiple positions AND a HoF HC.

Same logic they use against Emmitt and it is absolutely a stupid argrument.
At least spell Emmitt's name right. Show some respect. LolShady 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.
Autocorrect changed it.At least spell Emmitt's name right. Show some respect. Lol
