Which Romo got blamed for might I add.

None of those are the greatest ever. Well maybe Tony Gonzalez but Tight End isn't really that important of a position. It's harder for a dominating TE to impact the game as much compared to a WR, RB, or QB. Maybe Butkus but Ray Lewis won his a team a Super Bowl and possibly another so he would get the edge there.

He is a quitter and never won. He had players around him. Nobody ever says anything but whatever. I never hear any good arguments when I bring it up. Barry was more flashy. Emmitt did it all and dominated in the clutch. He played hurt. I get the flashy rb will get all the attention. But Emmitt was just a winner pure and simple. That's what the GOAT are. Barry has the most negative rushing yards ever. That isn't contributing to your team. It hurts them setting up 2nd and 3rd and long. You are gambling on getting a long run.

Barry had a couple of probowl offensive lineman. Fact is you can't try and put Emmitt on the Lions and say that. They ran completely different systems. Lions ran 1 rb 2 te. That doesn't fit Emmitt's style but it does Barry. And Barry wouldn't fit well in the system Dallas ran. He liked to run outside. Lions had Herman Moore as well. This whole talent thing is crap. Barry didn't have the heart Emmitt did. Emmitt put in the years. Emmitt wanted it more, it's as simple as that. Putting in that much time at RB in the NFL is damn impressive. And he played at an extremely high level through most of it. If you want to go for a rb with a short career you could at least say Earl Campbell.

Thanks Brad.

Maury it's an opinion and you can't be wrong.

Some people think Peyton Manning is the greatest QB of all time. I say Jim Kelly should be considered one of the greatest of all time due to the fact he ripped it up in the USFL, than came to the NFL & help led a team to 4 straight Super Bowls. Disagree? That's ok, I don't care. But if your talking to me about the GOAT at the WR position I'm mentioning Moss. If your arguement is he doesn't have a Super Bowl ring, than Trent Dilfer is listed as a possible candidate for GOAT just cause he got a ring? Dumb

Nobody mentioned Dilfer but you.

c'mon man, are you really comparing the line Barry had with the one Emmit had?

Here is a great article on it, I am not taking anything away from Smith at all he is for sure top 3 but, basic consensus, If you are a Cowboy fan Smith was the best, If you are a fan of ANY other team Barry was the best.

Still they are only opinions.

Ya I just liked it for its comparison of Barry and Emmitt. You HAVE to include Payton in any discussion of the GOAT

Everyone says that. But Emmitt sat out the first few games of a Super Bowl winning season for a contract. Guess how many games the won without him? Zero. It's not like you can just throw anybody back there. Emmitt was a big part of that team. And they happened to win 3 Super Bowls. Regardless of how much talent people think was on those teams. That is damn impressive. And again he preformed when it mattered the most.

I am not discounting his heart at all Maury, Barry Sanders is a better running back is what I said, I didn't say he had more heart, and how can you consider ANYONE the greatest without stats, that is foolish. And I do agree you can't plug just anyone in on that Dallas team and they would have done he did. Emmitt was awesome not saying he wasnt.

And the only people that don't care about the stats are Dallas fans because they dont have much of an argument with them.

I am done

I made plenty of points you gave me nothing to change my mind or anything that was a good argument wtf do you want???? I am not going to waste my time with a total Cowboy homer that can't see past his nose when it comes to other players in football. I tried to end it nicely but I guess you dont want that.
