Emmit overrated

June 1, 2009

I think everyone is overrating Emmit Smith: I wouldn't put him anywhere in the top five. Granted a great team player who I would love to have on my team, but not the best. The championships were earned by a great surrounding cast at Dallas and even more importantly a great offensive line. Emmit is a solid running back with good form and great game endurance, but I think many other running backs would have put up similar stats running behind the line he ran behind. I guy like Barry Sanders and Walter Payton got it done with inferior O-lines making them the better players
