[QUOTE="okcpackerfan, post: 451105, member: 4994"] this is completely untrue Sanders was the focal point of an offense that never put other players around him so that he wouldn't have to run for his life every single play to gain 4 yards. (please don't say herman moore as an offensive weapon...please). He got sick of the Lions not attempting to build a super bowl contender and hung it up. He didn't care about the rushing title, and there are also reports he had so much respect for walter payton he didn't want to break the record. I think people are just made because he rushed for almost 1500 yards in his last nfl season and rushed for over 2000 the year before. He had years left and being the selfish people we are we wanted to watch his greatness more and were all mad when he left. Even as a packer fan I didn't want him to retire because it was a thing of beauty when he would make grown men look silly. Look at the videos you see of the greatest runs in NFL history and the majority of them are barry sanders. He didn't quit on the Lions, the Lions just couldn't provide him what he wanted. [/QUOTE]
