I don't think there are many that will argue that Barry Sanders was the most most talented RB that ever played the game.
He did, however, play with a lack of intelligenge.
If I remember correctly, he had the most carries for lost yardage in NFL history.
He put his team in difficult positions as often as he did great things f r them.
Give me a RB like Walter Payton or Eric Dickerson, that almost always moved forward.
