Most say Jim Brown and it's hard to argue that...the reason I have to put Barry ahead of him is that Barry was doing it against bigger, faster, stronger opponents. That is the only reason. Everyone gets bigger, faster and stronger every year so in 10-20 years if there is a running back that dominants for 7-8 years straight then I would have to put him ahead of Barry since he is doing it against better competition. Although I think Barry or Jim could succeed in any era. one of my favorite barry sanders stories is when OSU was playing OU, this was when Thurman Thomas was the starting RB and Barry was the kick returner and backup RB. Sometime before the game started Barry Switzer told someone "we better hope Thurman doesn't get hurt, because the backup is better"</blockquote>
