Random but needs to be said

If Jim brown played in the 90s, he’d be rueben drones. Stop calling him the best back of all time or even top 4.

Jim Brown
Best back of all time

I guess all the good backs came from the 90's ?

I respectfully disagree with your post.

Turns out, didn’t actually need to be said at all.

Jim Brown
Best back of all time

I have three autographed football from RBs. One from Emmitt, one from Dorsett and one from Jim Brown. Best three of all time, in my book. BTW, Tony is my favorite.

No matter when Jim Brown played...he would be the best back in the League. He was Adrian Peterson before AP. Except he could catch and block too. Don't get it twisted...Jim Brown was a BAD MAN!

Sure hope I don't EVER read a thread saying Lawrence Taylor would be average or a lesser player than DWare, Von Miller or Khalil Mack. Smh...

The baddest man in the whole damn town!

I agree....

people need to stop saying best of all time and call it what it is “best back of his generation and at that level of play in the NFL”

The athletes and how big/fast these NFL players are today would have shut jim Brown down sadly

Jim Brown could absolutely play in this era at a high level.

Imagine you are a RB in the time of RB's. Now, imagine every D that will face the Browns that season gearing up to stop one man and he was unstoppable. I think if the OP asked the Cowboys that had to play the Browns, who owned them back then, which RB they'd least like to face, I'd bet he'd take that hands down.

Love me some Sweetness but he's still behind the best RB I ever saw play. He was the complete package, fast when he needed to be, power when he needed it, elusiveness when he needed it. And he was a man when they wanted him to be a boy.

He’s didn’t play in the 90’s he played much earlier and he was one dominating bad *** son of a *****ing running back.

Hear, hear! Well said. People had to see Brown play. I always dreaded the games he played against the Cowboys. Resistance was futile.

Always thought Reuben Droughns was underrated.

I disagree.

Jim Brown played in an era where defenses focused on stopping the run. Yet he still mowed them down like a Diesel powered Combine.
