    Where the hell is Barry? He is the best I have ever seen EVER!
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

        I think Ricky needs to be on that list, the year he ran for 1800 yards he def deserves to be on the list. Even though I now hate the guy, for quitting on his team, leaving us high and dry, the guy does have physical talent and was running people over when he wasn't being a head case.

        And I know he played full back but you have to throw alstott on there because some games they treated him like a RB.

          One good year doesn't put you on an all-time list of greatest power RB's.

          Considering all the draft picks tossed away for this guy he should be put on a list for an all-time biggest busts for power RB's.

            I would say he had more then 1 good year. He just didn't have a great year every year.

              I would also dispute Dillon. He has never gotten over 1450 yards in a season, and has never gotten over 10 TD's. His next highest total besides the 2 times he reached 10 is 7.

                One great year and the rest of them were average years that most starting RB's should get with 300 carries in a season.

                  The dude only rushed for over 1,500 yards once in his career, only had 10+ TD's in two of his years, and only averaged 4.0 ypc over his 5 years in the league.

                  Them numbers aren't worthy of 3 first round picks, a 2nd, 3rd, and a few others.

                    Most of the picks was Ditka, injuries in New Orleans slowed him down. But in a shorter time he had better #'s then Dillon put up in one season (just talking one season performance). Dillon never toped 1500, and never got over 10 TDs. One of the knocks on Dillon was that he does not have enough power to power the ball in down at the goalline.

                    I just did it b/c he was a power RB.

                        By that logic Ricky Williams deserves to be on that list more then Icky Woods. Eddie George was a very good sledgehammer for a number of years.

                            Earthquake stole my thunder, you bastad!

                            Yeah, Csonka too. I'm surprised a fin-fan didn't mention it. Bo Jackson was a monster. Franco Harris.

                            How about Herschel Walker. Dude moved the pile a lot.

                            I think with recent dudes like Dillon and Ricky "I want to hide in my locker" Williams you have to factor in the 16-game season thing. I'm not impressed with dudes going for 1,500 or 1,600 in 16 games. Almsot like they are pacing themselves. I think the old dudes in 12 and 14 game seasons had more incentive to run.

                              Having seen very little of Jim Brown I'll keep him at #1.

                              I would say Earl Campbell at #2 and Czonka at #3. Campbell was a freaking horse. He could be #1. Riggins might be #3 as well.
