Jim Brown has to be the most dominant player that played in the NFL.


5.2 yards a carry over his career
Averaged 100 yards per game
126 touchdowns
Never missed a game
Only played nine seasons
Pro bowl selection every year he played

if you haven't seen him play, then i strong advise you to take the time and watch some of his footage.

Those are key stats you have quoted there.

Guys like Emmitt Smith have been able to surpass some of his career numbers by virtue of today's longer seasons and playing past their prime, but when Brown was on the gridiron, he dominated like no one else.

Emmitt Smith should not be talked about in the same
breath as Jim Brown. If Jim Brown had the Offensive
Line that Emmitt had he likely would of averaged 6.2yds
a game.

Imagine if Barry Sanders had that Off Line? Who

I always get in arguments with Cowboy fans about that. I was a big Barry fan and always brought up the fact of that. Barry behind the Cowboy Offensive line would equal broken records everywhere.

barry was the better back of the two in my opinion.
