Emmitt? Sorry. For me, he ranks #4 on my personal list of top RB's, not to mention all-around players. I don't think he'd be in my own Top 10 of players all-time. And Montana, for me, isn't a Top 5 QB, probably...well, maybe, I'd have to think about it. But isn't that what makes this fun? Earl would have probably been the next back to go on the list, I imagine... Well, Bill, that’s my readers for you; glad you’re one, even with your minority opinion…

I will admit that Walter Payton was a more exciting runner than Emmitt, but I think Emmitt has surpassed him in many ways. Also, not that this has anything to do with my choice, but I'm a graduate of the University of Florida like Emmitt, but truly, that hasn't influenced my position on this at all. I might have said Jim Brown but I am too young to remember him so that would just be on other people's recommendations. But there is one running back not on the list who is head and shoulders above all the rest - the only reason he is not talked about as the greatest of all time is because injuries cut his career short. I think he was better than Emmitt, Payton and all the others. That's Earl Campbell. He had the perfect combination of speed and power - I've never seen anyone better. I'm still not sure that Rice isn't the greatest of all time though, and I think you've got to throw Joe Montana into the mix also.

As the line goes so goes the team...none of the skill players would be great without a great line. I repeat for the record #92 of the Pack: Reggie White is the greatest impact player of my lifetime. He made offensive linemen look foolish for trying to block him and put more quarterbacks on their back in the fourth quarter when it counted than any other lineman of our era. #92 Reggie White!!
