One had the greatest line ever, one played for the wurst franchise ever
Troy Hambrick ran behind the same line, he should be in the HOF shouldn't he? Last year 3 or 4 QBs and 2 RBs played behind this line, 4-12.
That argument doesn't hold water when someone comes in before or after with results so far off it's a 100% certainty it's who is behind the line as well as the line.

These comparisons are meaningless.

They were each one member of a team of over 50 players. Neither of them ever lined up solo against 11 defenders.

The primary goal of any player is helping their team win championships. Which had the most success acheiving this goal? There's your answer.

Troy Hamrick averaged more YPC than Emmitt Smith in Dallas.

By far, by pure volume, the arguments I've had most in my life have been:

1. Emmitt vs Barry
2. Pacino vs De Niro
3. Batman vs Spider-Man
4. The Beatles vs Michael Jackson

(The winners obviously being Emmitt, Pacino, Spider-Man and Michael Jackson.)

Nah, Rock in Roll over Pop.

That line was long gone by the time Hambrick showed up. Only Larry Allen was left.

The debate is simple between Barry and Emmitt.

If I'm buying a ticket, I'm going to see Barry.

If I want to win, I'm taking Emmitt.

Emmitt never "won" a playoff game either. And if I was stupid enough to say that one player could win a game, did I imagine Lions 38, Cowboys 6 or were you just not born yet? Stop embarrassing yourself.

I actually kinda agree about the quitting part though.

He actually did win one playoff game against the Cowboys in 1991. And that win counts for Barry. Just like all the losses count for Barry too. You must be the guy that demands participation trophies and blame everyone else when the team fails. Every individual is accountable for a team's success but some have much greater impact and accountability than others. But how can I expect someone to understand when they put wins in air quotes. There are no air quotes in wins and losses.

And the only one embarrassing himself is you, at least wipe your face off before coming up for air to defend poor Barry.

Yes, I'm the one embarrassing myself, yet you are the one spouting factually incorrect information. Have another glass of egg nog there, bunky.
Nobody cares about your absurd views on football. Emmitt never "won" a game and neither did Barry. I was not presenting some case that is up for debate. I was telling you the facts, and apparently they are a bit too much for you to grasp. Now it's time to crawl back under your rock.

LOL. I forgot the ONE playoff game Barry Sanders won, thank god his girlfriend was here to keep me in line. As for telling the facts I'm still laughing out loud about your insistence that Emmitt never won a game all the way to 3 SBs just so you sleep peacefully at night pretending that Barry was not a loser.

As for rocks, I don't crawl under em I throw em. Especially at other peoples glass houses. Better run and hide SK, Dak and Zeke are coming with all their wins. You keep clicking your heels and imagine Barry's arms around You. I can almost hear you muttering "there's no place like home".

You didn't forget anything, you never knew it, likely because you weren't alive. No Cowboys fan of those teams would ever forget that game. I'm always happy to educate our younger fans about Cowboy history. Back to the rock you go, troll.
