atvman_400 asked:


What if Barry Sanders played two more years? If he had gained his average of 1530 yards a season for two more years, he would have gained a total of 18323, which would have essentially put the rushing record out of reach for nearly anybody. If he did, would he be remembered as the greatest ever?
Emmett wan’t very effective at the end of his career, I don’t think he would have caught Barry Sanders if he played any longer.
What a selfless act, not telling his team he was going to retire so they didn’t have time to find a good replacement.

    Sanders was one of the same sanders was one of all timebut no matter how hard you try the best runners of all timebut no matter how hard you try the record will still be held by emmitt smith.
    Sanders would have played more years and things would still be held by emmitt smith.
