Thats the "prob" with all-time lists, they do not take 'games played' into account. If they would, the top 4 + Peterson separate each other this way: Rushing Yards per Game #1 Barry Sanders, 99 #2 A. Peterson, 89 #3 W. Payton, 88 #4 E. Smith, 81 #5 Frank Gore, 70 That 99 is worlds apart. Fun fact: Zeki is at 101 yrd per Game. He "only" needs 100 more games for respective consideration. Yeah but where that stat gets twisted is years in the league. Emmitt has the Cardinals years for example, what helps Barry is he hung it up while on top of his game. Not everyone follows that and run themselves until they’re completely washed. |

Frank Gore was a hugely underrated player for his entire career. As a lifelong Niners fan I can tell you he never got the love he deserved from around the league.
Barry Sanders however is something else. He was a one off who electrified the crowd every time he touched the ball. Sanders greatness was never about stats. |

Gore's true claim to fame is consistency. Sanders was electric, a truly gifted player. Both players have a place in the league, but Sanders is once in a generation talent, while Gore is what NFL coaches salivate over.

absolutely, endurance and avaiability are traits too. At times it doesnt matter how fast you reach a goal, as long as you do.

Not everyone follows that and run themselves until they’re completely washed. You're right. Mission accepted! Rushing Yards per Game adjusted to the first 10 years they played the game: #1 Barry Sanders, 99.8 #2 A. Peterson, 95.5 #3 W. Payton, 91.2 #4 E. Smith, 90.1 #5 Frank Gore, 74.8 Solid pace of the first 4. And Frank still the slug in this race. If so, he will reach the 15.269 yard line "5 years after" Sanders  but still remarkable.
To achieve this, Frank has 522 yards to go. Last season he averaged 51.6 ypg. With that pace he has to play 11 games ... at age of 36. Place your bets! Last edited on 2019-07-26 16:02:57 by Mücke |

No one has mentioned Jim Brown here, now as great as all the players mentioned so far are, and they are, not one of them comes close to Jim Brown's dominance of his position in his era, and is stats stand up even in todays league.
Brown is the greatest RB ever, Sanders is the most exciting RB ever.  |

for me its a choice out of payton and saunders for greatest of all time.brown was before my era and reading up about him and his stats probably doesnt do him justice.
and in all these discussions i cant believe smith doesnt get much credit by me as well for about 10/12 of those seasons he was a true superstar but i expect last few seasons of being over the hill and struggling a little have tarnished his legacy. |

Slowly I'm getting asthma from stirred up aged dust.
Meanwhile Saquon Barkley outperformed nearly everyone's mentioned above rookie season.

I think the best stats to compare for the most positions are the Career-seasons 3-7. The first 2 seasons most of them need to find into pro-football and after season 7 the most are done in one or another way.
QB's, P and K are the exception. For them I would count the seasons 11-15. |
