Post your Top 10 GOAT running backs...

[Joe Sixpack]

I was telling dudes at work earlier this week that Derrick Henry has a chance to be a better version of AD. He's bigger and just as explosive, stronger, more reliable hands. Henry was going for back-to-back 2000 yard seasons had he not gotten hurt last year...

It's difficult for alota people to acknowledge we're watching possibly the greatest back ever forming in front of us, in Henry. But he needs to extend his prime the way AD did, Peterson had nearly a decade-long run of absolute elite play. That's what it will take from Henry, barring injury, he's going to have a Top 5 impact on this game at his position...

Fully expect an AD-esque rebound from Henry this year, like '12 and '15 Peterson coming off his injuries...



He was a bruiser but not one of the All-Timers...



He was one of my favorite players as a kid!

Derrick Henry is an amazing RB

His footwork is incredible

I really wanna see how he comes back from that foot injury this year

He gets out in the open field and it’s Goodnight Irene he’s out

My favorite RB in the game today though is Nick Chubb

Good God Almighty he’s special

"Of the backs I watched"

Yet so many of yall have L.T on your list. None of you niccas watched Chargers games in his prime stop fronting. He is my goat but I am biased so I am not going to make a list but I just have to call out the capping in here.

When do you think LT played in the NFL

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

I always thought Bettis was overrated, he's nowhere near Top 20 for me. He was slow and had no moves other than duck his head and truck people. He got in Canton off the strength of being a great Steeler, but isn't an All-Time back...



Cats get mad when I call LT "Diet Faulk" but his playoff no-shows are a big reason why. I do give him the respect as a Top 10 guy but his regular season play did not translate to the playoffs...



at last four names...



This thread was inspired by that HOF thread where dudes kept bringing up Gore when no one suggested he was a Famer. It pissed me off, I'm just mentioning Gore for anyone who thinks he deserves Canton...

Gore is 3rd all time in rushing, it doesn’t matter about anything else, we know his placement is do to longevity, but that should count for something. He’s getting in the hof 100%. His entering doesn’t stop anyone else from getting in

@ Thinking no one was watching an elite RB in his prime on a perennial playoff team. This is one of the dumbest instances of gate keeping I've ever seen
