    Barry Sanders and Earl Campbell. One will make you miss, the other will just run right over you.

    I’ll take Jim Brown, the greatest running back of all time with anyone. You whippersnappers never saw the greatest ever play. Beside he got to make out with Raquel Welsh. It doesn’t get any better than that.

    Earl was a nightmare to bring down.

    Ran over pro bowler Isiah Robertson, and hall of famer Jack Youngblood is grabbing at air.

    Just need #34 by himself.

    Best back I've seen.

    Walter Payton could simply do it all. Brown and Payton is the easy answer. Barry and Earl were studs also.

    When Earl Campbell was in his prime, he could run though brick walls. Unfortunately over use shortened his career.

    Payton and Brown were great for years as indicated by their lifetime rushing records. I admire durability. For that reason I have to go with Peyton and Brown.

    Also, I think the first Ram defender in that clip is Fred Dryer.

    I vote for Brown and Payton.

    Jim Brown was doing it when the rules against the defense were far more lenient, and protections for the ball-carrier were practically non-existent; and playing against guys like Butkus, Bednarik and Nitchke!!!

    I would say Sanders was plenty durable. In a 10 year career he only missed 7 games. 5 of those were in one season. he also averaged over 300 carries per year for his career. All that and he retired at age 30 after a 1500 yard season.
