The greatest of all time is tough for me because I never saw Brown, Sayers, OJ and many others play....

I'm going to change this up a bit and list the five running backs I have seen that I'd pay to see just one more time in their prime because of how thrilling they were to watch.....

1- Barry Sanders (by far)
2- Bo Jackson
3- Walter Payton
4- Earl Campbell
5- Marshall Faulk

Hey Dough....

I'll agree with your Elway, Bo, Sanders & Sanders picks for most exciting players (can't comment on the others because I never saw them play or didn't see them play enough)....

I'll add Staubach, Favre, Sweetness, Swann, and LT to your list.

Who does the state of Wisconsin miss more? Favre.

Sabathia was great but he was like a foreign exchange student who you knew was going to leave soon. Favre was a part of the family. Still is in my opinion. I don't harbor the bitter resentment toward him that many Packer fans seem to. [/QUOTE]I'll be rooting for the Packers but I hope Favre has a good game.

[/QUOTE]Bo and Allen too high. What about Tony D. ?
Maybe OJ over Campbell?

But I do like the list.

Tom,

Earlier you mention AP and MDJ were you one and two. Where would you place Chris Johnson on you list of top RB especially looking forward to his facing middling to weak run defenses looking forward like Jacksonville (2), Buffalo, Indy (2), Green Bay, San Diego, St. Louis, Carolina, TB, and Houston? Since week 1, I've believed this:

AP will finish #1 and C Johnson #2 assuming good health among fantasy rbs.

How C Johnson fell into the 2nd round of many nffc online championship drafts, I will never know. Poor/quiet preseason or news about Lendale looking good from his off-season diet is all I can fathom.

Roger Craig, Csonka, Riggins, Dorsett, and Herscel Walker were all considerations on the rb list
