I feel like this man has to be in the discussion about being the G.O.A.T. at his position..he'd make dudes straight up look foolish

right... because no one ever includes Barry Sanders in the GOAT discussion
Pretty much sums up my feelings about it. Emmitt Smith was a great running back, but put him on the Lions and his numbers wouldn't even beclose to Barry's.Originally Posted by 23ska909red02
Dudes just don't even know.
He may not be the unanimous pick GOAT at the position, but he's my personal pick for GRBOAT.
It's a freaking SHAME the Lions basically took the attitude 'We'll go as far as you take us, Barry. You're awesome, and we don't need more than one elite player. Get us a championship!Or at least get us to the playoffs.Maybe a winning season? You're good enough to do that by yourself, right? Right.'
If he would have been on a team that employed players on the same level as Irvin, Aikman, Novacek, Moose, etc.... instead of being on a team where the only other player people could readily name was Herman Moore... ugh... I hate thinking about that.
The Lions front office deserves to have that winless season under their belt.

thats probably how it played out during the latter part of his career, but those Lions teams for most of the 90's were solid. Only thing they were missing was a legit QB, and they tried (and tried and tried). Being from The D, aint nothing you gottatell me about that team's bad management/ownership, but you cant say they aint try to put talent around him. And that was before the NFL really had parity,so you had the 3-4 elite teams at the top, and everybody else had to get in where they fit. The Lions could just never make that jump that everybody expectedat the time....The last quote is true, but not b/c of the Barry era....
pay homage to the Rakim to Barry's Nas tho....
dmxfury:
And the ball hand to the ref, so cool, so smooth, like "nah no need to showboat, that wasn't hard and I'll do it again"
THIS... was actually my favorite thing about him. The attitude (or lack thereof). Find a clip of Barry showboating, getting in an opponent'sface, talking trash, whining about not getting the ball, throwing a crybaby temper tantrum, or ANYTHING along those lines.
Saying dude did it with class would be like saying the sun is kind of warm.
Thanksgiving isn't the same without him.
The truth
