Gregg RosenthalGUEST
It's interesting to think about.
Gregg RosenthalGUEST
If you're going history, it's before we were watching each and every week, Walter Payton and Jim Brown and OJ.
Gregg RosenthalGUEST
There's a lot of them.
Gregg RosenthalGUEST
So top five is ridiculous.

Dave DameshekHOST
And shout out Lev Bell, who in an alternate reality would be on here too.
Dave DameshekHOST
In this reality, let's start with my best of the Super Bowl era, number one, Walter Payton.

When people talk about how Barry Sanders never had the benefit of being on a good team, tell them about Walter Payton, who spent his prime taking handoffs from Bob Avellini, Mike Phipps, and Vince Evans.

David KaplanHOST
He's a good player.
David KaplanHOST
I'm not telling you he's Walter Payton reincarnated, but he's a good football player.
David KaplanHOST
So that will affect their run game some.
David KaplanHOST
But that is a quality team with a quality coach.
Zach SegarsHOST
You've got two players.
Zach SegarsHOST
Walter Payton has 16,000 and change.
Zach SegarsHOST
Frank Gore's at exactly 16,000.
Benjamin AllbrightHOST
I mean, I don't think he can catch Emmitt Smith.
speaker_0HOST
If he hits that, where does that put him on the all-time running back list? More specifically, is he top five? This is now getting super, super real and debatable.
speaker_0HOST
And I think people write off Derek Henry because, like, I think a lot of people have, like— nostalgia for running backs of old and you know they and obviously they were really good duh like I'm not discounting that but I think sometimes we can't see what's right in front of us Derrick Henry is an all-time great yeah I mean he is he is crazy crazy good and I can't LARP and say like oh but I watched Walter Payton and Barry Sanders I didn't I didn't I know but man Are we paying attention right now? He's now 10th, I think, in rushing yards all time.
speaker_0HOST
In the last, like, 7 out of 8 seasons, he hasn't gone under 1,000.
speaker_0HOST
He's been well over 1,000.

Craig D'AmicoHOST
An eight touchdown game for the reigning Walter Payton Award winner against the Dukes defense.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
Central Connecticut State, they also had a tough one falling to Toledo 63 to 10.
Craig D'AmicoHOST
Central Connecticut scored two take are recorded two takeaways rather.
Jason ScukanecHOST
He'll end up in the top five for certain.
Jason ScukanecHOST
Does he get Frank Gore, Payton, and then eventually does he get Emmett?
Steven VaughnPANELIST
Mm-hmm.
Jason ScukanecHOST
I don't know.
Jason ScukanecHOST
It's like now, but Derek Henry breaks that.
Jason ScukanecHOST
It's that's, I got no issue with that.
Jason ScukanecHOST
I wouldn't say he's the best I ever saw, but I mean, the best I ever saw is still Walter Payton or Barry Sanders.
Jason ScukanecHOST
Take your pick.
Bill BurrHOST
I don't know if you're gonna see too many more of these guys the way they fucking throw handoffs now.
Bill BurrHOST
Uh, the only people in front of him now is Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, and, uh, Emmitt Smith.
Bill BurrHOST
And I don't think anybody's ever gonna catch Emmitt the way the game has changed.
Bill BurrHOST
Um, and that's it.
