"Top 5 rushers of all time.

A running back needs to be able to get low to the ground and gain leverage on the run, and while not using his hands. He needs a strong center of mass so he is more difficult to tackle. Finally, he needs to have a solid build that is able to withstand the constant full-speed pounding their job requires from them.

  1. Emmitt Smith 5′9″ 210 lbs - Known for his freakish durability and amazing field vision. missed 2 games in his whole career with Dallas, and that was a contract holdout. He would miss more at Arizona at the end of career, but he’d already broken Payton’s record.
  2. Walter Payton 5′10″ 200 lbs- Despite his nickname, “Sweetness”, Payton was better known for his powerful running and phenomenal durability.
  3. Barry Sanders 5′8″ 200 lbs- The ultimate elusive back. When you watch a “Greatest Runs of All Time” reel, chances are, you’ve seen Sanders carry the ball. Retired early for a few reasons.
  4. Curtis Martin 5′11″ 210 lbs- Great field vision, and got this far without the fanfare of the other four backs on this list. His time with the Patriots and Jets saw consistent play and an unshakable will.
  5. Ladanian Tomlinson 5′10″ 215 lbs- Mr. San Diego. In my opinion, he was the most complete running back on this list, with Payton being a very close second. He not only ran the ball with agility and power, but he was also a great pass-catcher and a by-the-book blocker.

These backs have something in common- they are just under six feet tall and weigh in the low 200’s. Some on the top rushers’ list are larger (Jerome Bettis) or smaller (Warrick Dunn), those ranges seem to be the prototype"

 

I am a fan of the big bruising type of RBs. Love Stew. 

That being said, CMC isn't too small.

 

Hall of Fame guys on this list, just saying.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
