I agree that Emmit smith is amazing Walter was quoted staying "if anyone will break my record I want it to be Emmit Smith."

People say Saders was better but if he was better why did he retire so early? And as my roommate siad "in his prime". I think he would have broken the record but not in 1 more season.Maybe 2 or 3. (the lions were hirrible) Also the NFL plays more games a season now then they did back then. Jim Brown was also a great back but old enough so he doesn't get mentioned like Walter does.
