LeSean McCoy Said He Was Better Than Emmitt Smith

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:

This made we empty out my emogie supply !!!!!!
 
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.

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.

Emmitt also had the most important ability of all

Availability
He didn't take a lot of hard shots and he was remarkably durable. Tough as hell

Guarantee you Shady McCoy doesn't go for 160+ and catch 10 balls in 35° weather with a separated shoulder

Emmitt is the man. Period. Discussion over

McCoy could not carry Emmitt's ear diamonds.
 
McCoy is nuts if he truly believes he was better than the all-time leading rusher, Emmitt Smith.
 
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.


/s

Same logic they use against Emmitt and it is absolutely a stupid argrument.
Emmitt had a elite offensive line!

My response has always been “youre supposed to”
 
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.
At least spell Emmitt's name right. Show some respect. Lol
