When I was younger, I had a friend named Louis Ferrier aka B-O-B that I always used to tell that Emmitt Smith is a better running than Barry Sanders and I did not believe and I used to do that to him to aggravate him.Even though I don't believe Emmitt Smith is the best running back ever, I told a friend of mine that you can't hate on him because he was durable and productive so he at least deserved a picture. NO VIDEO TRIBUTE THOUGH!!!!!
Emmitt Smith 1st - Rank 18,535 - Yards, 4.2- Yards Per Carry 81.2 - Yards Per Game, 226 - Total Games
Walter Payton 2nd - Rank 16,726 - Yards, 4.4 - YPC ,88.0 - YPG, 190 Games
Barry Sanders 3rd - Rank 15,269 - Yards , 5.0 YPC 99.8 YPG, 153 Games
In the words of Bill Parcel's "with that being said Emmitt Smith clearly has the record and is deserving of such; however we can't forget the Barry Sanders was essentially forced out of the game (due to the fact the Lions would not trade him nor but a supporting cast around him) when he clearly had several good years ahead of him. He should be the all time rushing leader but as I mentioned earlier "you are what your record says you are."

Mel,
I would say that he does have the most yards but he is not the best back.
