Talk about playing on some crappy teams……

Anyone that doesn't think he is the best of all time is delusional. He played behind a crap OL for most of his career. Had he been on a team with even a semblance of an OL his yardage would be astronomical.


I loved watching Barry, but Walter Payton really had no good line until Ditka showed up at the tail end of his career. Barry had moves like Walter, but a lot of Paytons yards were through defenders.
