Only got one vote for the top 10 of all time.

I never though too highly of Eric Dickerson...

I think getting any votes on that list is a HUGE honor.

yea, but one of those years was a 2000+ yard season, it all comes down to the old argument, who is the better band the rolling stones cause they have been good for a long time, or the beatles because they were REALLY good for a short time.

Thurman Thomas had a season with over 2,000 yards from scrimmage, and he was a league MVP, and he's played longer. Who has accomplished more?

Thomas.

Thomas deserves like 3 more votes just for being a great always-healthy, team player who had plenty of1,000+ yard seasons.

The biggest miss is OJ. He deserves to be top 3 for what he did on the field but it's obvious his votes got knocked down for (allegedly) killing 2 people.

Plus I agree it depends on whether you judge longevity or not. It also depends on how heavily you judge pass catching - if counted equal to rushing yards/TD's you'd have to give Thurman more than a single point.

Nah i dont think so, i think that The fact that he never won a championship is the reason he isnt in the top 3

I totally think that OJ gets snubbed because of the killings (there is no alleged he slashed the crap out of them and got away with it)

I really wish people weren’t so worried about what other people thought and just voted on who really was the best. OJ was amazing to watch. I was only like 1 when he played but I have seen tape and he was so awesome. His legs look like they were 8 feet long. No one could catch him if he broke out (which he did A LOT)
