He ran for 2,000 frigging yards in a single season when he was the ONLY weapon. Opponents had NOBODY else to defend against. They're gameplan against Detroit was literrally "stop Barry Sanders". That's it. And he STILL ripped off 2,000 yards in a single seaon, yet you complain about losing yards occassionally? Put down the pipe man.

You two misunderstand me.
I am saying that he needed to run smart and not try to make things happen as often as he did.
He put his team in 2nd or 3rd and long situations more often than he made spectacular runs.
It's like a talented QB throwing interceptions under pressure.
Brett Favre would be in the discussion with Joe Montana as the greatest QB ever if he had played it smart more often.
How many times did he engineer last minute comebacks only after he put the Packers inposition to have to comeback with a stupid interception?
How many times did he fail to make those comebacks?
The Packers were better with Favre than without, as the Lions were better with Sanders than without.
But they could have been better with out the stupid mistakes.
