Emmit Smith isn\'t what everyone makes him out to be. I\'m happy he got the record, but he isn\'t the best RB to play in the NFL. This record is just an accomplishment of dedication to the game he loves. He says he has a few more years in him, and I\'m happy that he\'ll continue to play. A great achievement sure, but he doesn\'t get the credit because so many are better and have been better than he is now.
I\'ve always liked Dallas since way back when they drafted Derrick Lassic. Too bad he never got a chance to play cause Emmit stole the show.
/me wonders how many people actually knows who Derrick Lassic is?
Here is a hint: He rushed for 125 yards and 2 TD\'s in the 92 National Chapionship game.
Sam Shade, George Teague, and David Palmer were also on his team. And a few more NFL stars and role players.
Not to mention the guy we made look foolish in that game that won the Heisman trophy over.....MARSHALL FAULK!!! Mr. Gino "who" Torretta.
Anyways back on topic:
Jim Brown is the best RB to ever play that position. Barry Sanders comes in second with Emmit bringing up the rear. He holds the all-time rushing record, but not the title of best RB to ever play the game.
