Barry Sanders in my mind is the best. He was able to acheive more with less around him. Emmitt had Troy and Micheal, and Payton had great defense. But Sanders was the Lions!

Payton had no great offensive line when he was at his prime. He still week after week ran the ball and ran it better than anyone. Walter Payton never had the quaterback that other teams had to worry about that Smith had. Payton never had the receivers to worry other teams.\n\nBarry Sanders is another running back that did not have the same things that Smith had, look how he did. Payton is and will be the greatest, you don't need a record to prove that. Look at how many times Ruth is talked about ebing the greatest hitter of all time and most of his records have been beaten. Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time and he doesn't hold many records.\n\nAnd to be honest although I am originally from Illinois, I have never been a Bears fan....and I still think Payton is the best and will be for some time to come!

I have to go with Barry Sander. Being from Detroit, all I had to watch growing up was the lions, atleast Barry made me cheer. He was so elusive, so tricky with the best moves that I could not help but love football on sundays. Face it, with a team like Detroit, no one can argue that Barry was the best RB of all time. Let me hit you with so info all you Nay-Sayers\n\n Second-leading rusher of all time (15,269 yards).\n Holds all-time NFL record for consecutive 1,000-yard seasons (10, 1989-1998).\n Tied for NFL record for total 1,000-yard rushing seasons (10).\n Holds Detroit Lions records for most yards rushing (15,269), most touchdowns (109) and most rushing touchdowns (99).\n 10-time Pro Bowl selection (1989-1998 seasons)\n Nine-time Pro Bowl participant (missed 1993 due to injury)\n Five-time NFC rushing leader\n Holds NFL single-season records for most 100-yard rushing games and most consecutive 100-yard games (14 in 1997)..\n 1997 Player of the Year.\n 1989 NFL Rookie of the Year.\n 1988 Heisman Trophy winner.

Walter Payton - hands down.  \n\nNo one has ever had as much talent as he did.   He scored touchdowns running, receiving, passing and kicking.  He did kick a field goal and an extra point in an early game were Bob Thomas got injured.

Emmit Smith for the Dallas Cowboys

Barry Sanders.\nHe played for an aweful team and most seasons an aweful line and still was able to produce. He has the best cutbacks, almost unhuman. He did things that should have broken his ankles and knees. He was the best at changing direction at the right time to completely fake out the entire defense. He easily would have had the most yards all-time if he could of standed playing for one of the worst franchises in all of sports!

Always a tough question...Ronnie Lott, LT, Butkas, Lambert(or anyone of the steel curtain)....I was gonna say Lott because let's face it the guy was NUTS!! but then I thought aside from Favre no one mentioned "O"...there was a Payton reference, must give SWEETNESS his props. I would give my Iron man trophy to the great Jim Brown, C'mon he played 8 years and it took Payton 15 seasons too originally break the rushing record and I think it took E.Smith 16 or 17. Jim Brown was a Def.Lines WORST nightmare and he was NEVER hurt...Running Around and THROUGH DL's and LB's(including Butkus,Ray N. and Deacon Jones). So put that in your pipe and smoke it...you should be ashamed of not even mentioning him..THE GREATEST, my runner-up was a tie between Lott and Earl Campbell( The Bastard can't even walk now he ran so hard!!)

Currently, Vinatieri is the best ... percentages don't always win games (right Vanderjagt!).\n\nI would have to say that either Morten Andersen or Ray Guy should be considered the best of all time.  For these guys to miss a FG would be like watching Jerry rice drop a lob pass from Joe Montana.  Guy and Andersen made kicking almost an artform in the NFL.

Yes, Kobe Byrant is the best. Don't hate on him. Ya'll some lames why ya'll hating. he cold and ya'll know it

Alex Smith\n\nSmith has the best matchup against a poor St. Louis defense. The Rams defense is ranked 27th, giving up 346.6 yards per game.\n\nhope this helps,\ngood luck.
