Barry lead the league in TDs two of his first three seasons.

His TD output changed with the run and shoot.

Week 11 update:

Season stats are 184-1120-12, still leading NFL in rushing this year. Currently at 10,622 for his career, #25 leading rusher all time. Next in line on the chopping block:

24. Ricky Watters (10,643)

Then 300+ to Warrick Dunn at #23. He'll pass Ricky this week...

Henry played for the Titans and carried them to the AFC Championship Game. Absolute mediocre team, and yet he protects the ball better and he finds the end zone way more often...

I'm not sure other than nostalgia that there's a strong case for Barry over King!
I think it be coming down to eye test with Barry. He was my favorite player as a kid just off highlights lol(too young to see him 94 baby) and the fact that he averaged 1500 yards a season his whole career. The King has one of the most unique styles we’ve ever seen but outside of the dirty stiff arms he’s a straight to business type back. He can just fall forward sometimes for 5-7 yards then pop one for 70+ without making anybody miss(which is amazing.) now that he plays for my team I appreciate him even more though. No matter what anybody’s all time rankings are to me it’s undisputable that’s he’s the best back since Adrian.
