Oh come on Barry Sanders retired 14 years ago. Common sense will tell you that Spidey is somewhere from 24-34. Which is pretty damn normal around this section.
i’m 29. so in the last 25 years who’s better than barry?
Marshal Faulk
Emmit Smith
I would through Walter Payton in there but he was pre Barry Sanders
Ladanian Tomlison
Barry Sanders was great do not get me wrong the best no way. He could not run between the tackles and could not run goal line. Do not even say the his line was shitty thing for that, Barry Sanders was never a good between the tackles runner. He also could not catch or block worth a shit.
Faulk, LT and Smith I understand. The biggest thing with smith is his o line was awesome for most his career. U put LT, Faulk or Barry behind that line and they would put up better numbers than smith.

Actually Barry was a very decent wr. Early in his career he would do the same shit Emmitt did, ie catch swing passes and screens.
I think it’s HILARIOUS that some people say he wasn’t a good between the tackles runner, when that’s where he got many of his runs. Most of his draws were run inbetween the tackles and off-tackle runs he would break as well.
Emmitt is so underrated. Other than Barry, Emmitt had the best body control and balance I’ve ever seen from a rb. That’s why he almost never took a solid hit. He was a beast in goalline and short yardage which is where rbs get their money.
I like LT but I still hesitate to put him past Faulk. I still him sitting on the bench like a bitch during the playoffs saying “I’m hurt”.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
I’ll take Walter Payton over LT in heartbeat.
…Are you always this slow or did you just choose this week? The suggested age and the period that Barry retired were not a coincidence.
I would take Walter Payton over anyone, I might concede Jim Brown.
I like Payton as #1. I never really watched Jim Brown though.
Never saw Jim Brown either. My father and my uncles swear by him though. Actually to most of my old heads and people I respect that are older than me they take 3 guys over Barry Sanders.
#1 Jim Brown
#2 Walter Payton
#3 OJ Simpson
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
They’d all remark about how OJ was the only guy they’d ever seen then (and never since) who would go through the hole at full speed… sideways. Marinate on that for a minute.
My 25 year-old coworker was trying to tell me about Earl Campbell. I was like how the hell do you know about Earl Campbell? Also, shoutouts to pre-crisis Bo Jackson. Thank you based Tecmo Bowl.
If only Bo focused solely on football…sigh
Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl was the most broke character in the history of videogame sports.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
For those of you who never played it… he was like Dark Phoenix in MvC3… ALL THE TIME. You could call the exact play against the Raiders and Bo would still break 5 tackles and run 50 yards for a td.
That is actually debatable now. Michael Vick pre Prison Sentence was retardedly broken in Madden. Vick is the reason Madden put in the Cone passing. Also Lebron in 2K8 was the dumbest broken shit in a basketball game ever. You could literally just jack 3s with 2 people on you the whole game and make 50 percent of them.
Bo was def. the most broken player in TSB, but he had a few competitors, like QB Eagles, Jerry Rice, and LT. David Fulcher was probably in that group too.
I agree. While we’re at it, shot outs to the 49ers secondary in that game. I don’t care what anyone says, Bo is broken in that game, but it’s impossible playing with the Raiders for him to beat the 49ers defense by himself-- Lott and Waymer in that game are also broken.
when you run the reverse in John Elway’s Quarterback you could get a superfast guy who could run circles around the other team, so unnamed wr gets most broken in my book
Hakeem Olajuwon would shoot 70% 3 pointers in NBA Shoot Out 97. I don’t know if it makes him broken but it certainly ain’t right. 
I really want to say Terrell Davis here. Too bad he got hurt. He would have at least been equal if not better without that.
Oh god. You’re totally right. I forgot Vick in Madden 03. That year Madden had the feature where he could point a reciever to where he wanted them to go. He was basically unstoppable.
Eh. I’ve seen worse. Joe Smith in one of the 2K years (can’t remember which one) was beyond stupid considering he never shot 3s in real life but he’d drain 75% of them them as soon as he passed halfcourt.
And he wasn’t even that good in real life then. That’s what the funny thing about it was.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
I’d still take Bo over Vick. But it is debateable. I agree.
Apparently Vick himself started playing those old Madden games where he was broken as fuck, look at this shit.
My man just uttered JOE MONTANA’S name. He shouldn’t even be trying to say Montana’s name out loud right now unless he’s on his fucking knees in reverence.
