Not sure where you get career from, because Emmitt clearly had the better career.

Emmit had already won two rushing titles and two SBs before the arrival of Larry Allen. Try again.

Then explain after the Cowboys won their 3rd (1st SBs featuring the Triplets), when Emmitt held out for two games because he wanted "Thurman Thomas money", and the Cowboys inserted the backup, what happened?

You take balls in your mouth, so how can you say anything?

Apple and oranges. Not facing 8 men fronts on a constant basis but nickel defenses, doesn't sound like such a bad deal.

Yeah because I'm sure you out on the East coast were getting Detroit games on a weekly basis over the Giants, Jets, Patriots, Bills, Eagles, etc.

Emmitt would have more success in Barry's sytem than Barry would have in Emmitt's system. Emmitt would tear up some nickle defense, but how would Barry fare constantly against an extra LB and against 8 men in a box? How would he fare in an offense that wasn't spread?

Sure he did inbred. He certainly created more negative yards on his own than any back to play the game.

I guarantee you I watched Barry play more than most---especially you, if not all on this board. Due to my geographical location I got to see him quite frequently. And Barry had a hard time collecting yards because he did alot of needless dancing.

You ahve no logic. People like you want to give Barry all the credit and no credit to the people around him. Fact is, Barry played in a run-n-shoot offense for the majority of his career---which you claimed he didn't because you didn't have a clue, and in playing in such an offense---a spread...

So are you suggesting that Barry made them better? But yet you jumped on me for daring to make the claim that Emmitt made his Oline better. Like I said... hypocrite. Nate Newton, Mark Stepnoski, Ray Donaldson, Erik Williams, Mark Tuinei, also didn't make the Pro Bowl in a season where they...

I already explained it. If you don't get it... your problem. I was concise. As for Barry retiring, he retired AFTER signing the largest contract for an RB at that time. He basically took the money and ran. He hid out in Spain. An arbitrator ruled that he had to give the money back. You want to...

It is what it is. You the one that is trying to say that the Oline made Emmitt better. Funny thing is, when Emmitt held out those first two games the following season after they won their first of their 3 SBs, and Lassic took over, he couldn't get it done. If you want to credit the Oline then...

Why is it that people that claim Barry was greater than EMmitt, are hypocritical and clueless in their arguements?

LOL. So both Aikman and Irvin were HOFers BEFORE Emmitt arrived? News to me. As for the best offensive Oline ever, then they should all make the HOF, correct? And when exactly did they become the best Oline of all time, when none of them ever made the Pro Bowl until after Emmitt's arrival and...

Barry is a finesse runner. One of the knock against Barry was his impatience. Emmitt had patience and allowed his blocks to develop. You have to have that kind of patience in the offense Emmitt was in. As for all those Olinemen you named, with the exception of Ray Donaldson, none of them ever...

And for the most part all they did was hand the ball off to Barry, how hard is that? Scott Mitchell had a season where he passed over 4,000 yards and 32 TDs in a season. Aikman never passed over 4,000 yards nor did he ever have more than 23 TDs in a season.

Is that the best you can come up with? Not excuses if there are facts.

Once again, very ignorant, and no surprise coming from you. I was waiting for someone to bring this up. Barry didn't have a bad Oline. That's a lie. He had two pro bowlers on that Oline in Lomas Brown (potential HOFer), and Kevin Glover. People make the foolish claim that if Barry had Emmitt's...

While employing the run-n-shoot offense where he had such WRs as Herman Moore, Brett Perrimen, and Johnny Morton. But Barry is also the reason why they faltered in the playoffs.
