Ohhh, Emmitt Smith was ONLY good because of that offensive line? Man, STOP IT! I DESPISE the narrative that Barry Sanders had NO HELP in Detroit while people diminish everything Emmitt Smith accomplished! Let’s talk FACTS! Barry Sanders’ 1991 Detroit Lions Offensive Line: LT: Lomas Brown | 1st Round, No. 6 LG: Eric Andolsek | 5th Round, No. 111 C: Kevin Glover | 2nd Round, No. 34 RG: Mike Utley | 3rd Round, No. 59 RT: Eric Sanders | 5th Round, No. 136 Now let’s look at Emmitt Smith’s 1992 Dallas Cowboys Championship Offensive Line: LT: Mark Tuinei | Undrafted LG: Nate Newton | Undrafted C: Mark Stepnoski | 3rd Round RG: John Gesek | 10th Round RT: Erik Williams | 3rd Round ZERO FIRST ROUND PICKS! Dallas DEVELOPED those players into champions! And let’s not pretend Detroit didn’t have TALENT! The 1991 Lions went 12–4 and had SIX Pro Bowlers: Barry Sanders Lomas Brown Jerry Ball Chris Spielman Bennie Blades Mel Gray They also had Herman Moore, Brett Perriman, Willie Green and other talented players on that roster! That Detroit team BEAT Dallas 38–6 in the playoffs! I still hate them til this day BTW.. So why do people act like Barry Sanders was out there playing football all by himself? Barry Sanders was phenomenal. One of the greatest running backs to ever play this game. RESPECT! But stop rewriting history to diminish Emmitt Smith! 18,355 Career Rushing Yards 164 Career Rushing Touchdowns 3× Super Bowl Champion Super Bowl MVP NFL MVP NFL All Time Leading Rusher Just because Emmitt had great teammates doesn’t mean he wasn’t GREAT himself! And just because Barry retired early doesn’t mean we get to award him accomplishments he never achieved! EMMITT SMITH IS THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK OF ALL TIME! EMMITT > BARRY!
