January 16, 200719 yr Jim Brown, he was the hardest RB in the NFL. Would have records if he didn't cash out early from the NFL.
January 16, 200719 yr And don't forget that Brown earned his yards in an era that the rules weren't so protecting of the offensive players as they are now.

And don't forget Jim Brown played the game when men were much smaller. Walter Payton is the man, but there is a guy by the name of LT who is better than both. It isn't Lawrence Taylor either.

It isn't Lawrence Taylor either. I am not sure that LT is better than Jim Brown. My view is that Jim Brown is the best football player ever.
January 16, 200719 yr If I'm a female and don't look being thrown over a balcony, I'm going with Walter.
January 16, 200719 yr Choosing between these two is very tough. Peyton was great and one of my favorites but I would choose Jim Brown.
January 16, 200719 yr I'm with him or the great Gayle Sayers! :thumb: Sayers was a tremendous back and a special individual.
January 16, 200719 yr For those who chose Payton, I would like to know how many actually saw both play.
January 16, 200719 yr For those who chose Payton, I would like to know how many actually saw both play. I was a huge fan of the Bears in the '80's, before I wised up and learned the history behind the Packers, and I watched the Bears every time they were on tv, which at that time was about every weekend. The '85 Supper Bowl was the first SB that I remember watching in its entirety - I still wish sweetness would have scored in that game, but everyone knows the role he played in getting them there. I also respect the role model that Payton was, and still is, great character, and morals, a true inspiration to fans of the game. But, in fairness, I did not see Jim Brown play live, however, I have seen many clips and read a lot about his career. I think he was a very superior player, and had much ability, he just had to many demons to deal with and his career was cut short, I would have loved to see him play ten years and see what his career stats would have looked like.
