Barry Sanders? Sanders squandered his talent.

Emmitt Smith was better than Barry Sanders.

Barry would make spectacular runs, but many times he'd diddle around in the backfield and get tackled behind the line of scrimmage instead of just going forward and try to get positive yardage.

If I would start a team, my first pick would be Terry Bradshaw. Why? He just had the ability to win.

Emmitt Smith and Erik Dickerson have to be on that list. O.J. wasn't half bad either.
