There will never be another player in the NFL like Jerry Rice. I say this as a Cowboy fan. Rice was a man among boys for most of his career. He and Montana owned Monday Night Football for an entire decade. Derrick Thomas was my favorite pass rusher of the 90's.
Yeah I knew during his career that he kinda ruined it for all future wide receivers. Nobody will ever get close to those career receiving yards. Most of his records have been or will be broken. But not that one.
@@ray.shoesmith Brady and Gronk will always have the post season locked. Because it's going to be hard for 2 players to even GET into the post season as much. Let alone dominate. So why don't you eat grilled cheese of da radiator. Shaw of Iran
@@kronosis1337 true, but not really. The game evolved into a more passer friendly league in the 90's. However, the reason it evolved was because of guys like Montana and Dan Marino. Montana and Rice were a far more lethal combination than Young and Rice. The SB wins trump the stats. Young benefited from Rice.
*Derrick Thomas was one of those guys who played so hard, gave his all to the team, performed at a high Level with intensity and Love, and was admired and respected. I remember hearing the news when he passed away. I was in middle school and was shocked. He was my favourite/favorite linebacker, at the time!*
These records will be broken because eventually the nfl will have a 18 game regular season. Meaning players will have 2 more games each year. So a player playing 10 seasons will have 20 extra games these players never had.
Another record that will Never be broken is the Longest run from scrimmage for a touchdown. Tony Dorsett ran 99.75 yards for a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings on a Monday night game. The Vikings kicked off and the ball went out on the 1 FOOT line of the Cowboys. Dorsett did the rest. There are several 99 yard runs but none that matches what Dorsett did.
The crazy thing with Coach Shula's win record is that he coached quite a few seasons where the NFL season was only 14 games long. It didn't bump up to the 16 game season until The Bucs and the Shehawks joined the league in 1976.
As impressive as Favre's streak of starting games at QB, it's equally as embarrassing that he holds the record for most ever turnovers, with 363. It's another record he holds that will likely never be surpassed. Dude committed an average of at least one turnover every game.
And there isn't a single active player going into the 23 season that is even within 10,000 yds of Emmitt Smith. We can finally say this record mark will never be broken or his carries or rushing tds
That’s because Emmitt Smith rushed behind the greatest set of offensive linemen that’s ever been assembled in the history of the league each season he played. I’m not taking anything away from Emmitt by stating this because he was a tremendous running back. I would love to have seen Barry Sanders behind those linemen. That would be a sight to see.
@@justinnichols2930 each season he played lol u obviously never watched the cowboys each season. He only had them until 95 after that he only had Larry Allen who actually didn't come into the league until 95. Plus Emmitt Smith made his line the greatest line n NFL history. Some of those guys were there in 89 with walker before the trade
@@justinnichols2930 plus Barry would b still on the sidelines half the cowboys games lol Emmitt wus by far a better all around back than Sanders. Flash only look good n highlight reels but don't win games
@GR never said Emmitt wus the whole team but he definitely carried the cowboys on his back. Barry is a quitter and stop dreaming of Barry on the cowboys. Barry would not have fit in on the cowboys offense anyway. He wusnt dependable standing on the sidelines on third down and on short yardage and definitely couldn't pass block worth crap. Plus we don't need him running the wrong way. Seen him run backwards so many times when the lanes were open. Barry would rather play grab ass than win championships. And to ur point about oh Barry didn't have a team around him u Kno that's bs. 2 pro bowl wrs and 2 pro bowl lineman plus he made the playoffs the amount of times Dallas did with Emmitt. Just Emmitt actually showed up come playoff time instead of run for negative yards in a playoff game. Say wut u want but when ur Barry fuvkin Sanders there is no excuse to run for negative yards especially n the playoffs.
As halfback at the University of Illinois, Red Grange ran for td's of 95, 67, 56, and 44 yards, in the first quarter of a game against a top Michigan team. His career stats don't look so great, but he was an amazing runner, called the Galloping Ghost.
Tom Landry - 20 consecutive winning seasons. Even Belichick's streak ended at 19. Tony Dorsett - 99 yard TD run; can't be broken without rule changes. Rice actually benefitted from the West Coast offense scheme; high percentage passing instead of run first. Despite continued passing stat inflation his record might be safe for a while because the salary cap makes veterans less affordable than they used to be.
If any of these are to be broken, it would probably be a receiving record or a passing record. I think the rushing records are safe unless the NFL reverts back to a run first league.
I just wanted to give a shout out to Touch Down Tony Dorsett and his Record setting 99 1/2 yards Touchdown run that will never be broken! Can only be tide! 🏈 🙏🏻
I think of all the NFL records listed in this video, the career interceptions record (81 held by Paul Krause) would be the hardest to break. 1979 was the last time that record was broken (44+ years ago) and since then, the career receiving and rushing records have been broken AT LEAST twice (career rushing record by Walter Payton in 1984 and Emmitt Smith in 2002, the career receiving yards record by Charlie Joiner in 1986, Steve Largent in 1989, James Lofton in 1990, and Jerry Rice in 1995). I think what makes the interceptions record almost impossible to break is that as a DB you must be durable enough to play every game for at least 13 seasons, and during those 13 seasons you must good enough to average OVER 6 interceptions a season (for most players today, 6 interceptions for one season is a career high). Finally, and probably most importantly, you have to be underrated or overlooked for most of your career because if you build a reputation as a ball hawk, no QB in their right mind would throw the ball in your direction (which would definitely minimize opportunities to intercept the ball). This explains why great DBs like Deion Sanders, Ed Reed, and Charles Woodson weren't even close to breaking Krause's record - the opposing QB didn't dare throw the ball their way on purpose (thus chances to intercept the ball were minimal). It just goes to show how underrated Paul Krause was, and still is, for the career he had. To give you an idea how overlooked Krause was consider Krause was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998 - 19 years after he retired. When lists are compiled regarding the NFL's greatest ever Defensive Backs, how many times does Krause's name get mentioned (virtually never), yet he tops them all as the NFL's all-time leader in interceptions.
@pv032...and look who's second on that list, another guy that played a long time ago. The reason Krause isn't mentioned among the best defensive players or even the best DBs, is because he was a free roaming safety that benefitted from playing in that era. He just mopped up the weekly deluge of errant or ill-advised passes from the risk taking QBs of the 70s. Even your star quarterbacks had nowhere near the accuracy or football acumen that most starters have today. QBs of that time routinely had lifetime ratings in the 70s and rarely in the 80 range. Today, good QBs are usually in the 90-105 range. They are more careful with the ball because tossing a ton of ints is a sure way to lose your job (e.g. Jameis Winston). Teams no longer keep investing in a QB just because he was drafted high or won the Heisman. If you don't perform at a high level by year 3, your probably cooked. If Plunkett played today he wouldn't have won two SBs because his historically rancid play would find him run out of the league around year 4. It's why he's not in the HoF. It took Stabler dying, before the veteran's committee of the Hall put him in...why? Because he had more ints than tds, won only 1 SB behind a powerhouse team, and had a lifetime qb rating in the 60s. In summary, starting signal callers in that era routinely threw 20+ picks a year and rarely threw the ball away to save them from disaster. QBs today are pressured to perform and not make frivolous mistakes. It won't be broken for that reason and not because Krause was so much more special than any other db in NFL history...Rod Woodson on the other hand...well,...
“Even your star QB’s had nowhere near the accuracy of starters today” Bullshit, more like they didn’t have pussy rules protecting them and allowing them to pad their stats like QB’s today - millennial stat monkeys like you always forget to mention that fact 😂
@@DownfallHitlerParody Why the name calling? Millennial? I'm probably older than you kid. The rules on where and how you can tackle a QB today have no bearing on their accuracy and decision making. The 70s was historically devoid of teams that passed frequently. Most teams were run first. With the exception of Jurgenson or Bradshaw, few had strong arms until the second half of the decade saw some more prototypical types like Jones come into the league, and passing plays were predictable (usually 3rd down) so defenses could adjust accordingly. I bet you have no qualms about football in the 80s and probably loved watching football in that era... didn't you? But wait, would that make you a stat monkey as you say? You know, with the explosion of teams going to west coast, k-gun, or spread 5 wide out offenses. Trigger happy gunslingers like Marino, Fouts, Elway, Esiason, Kosar...etc. breaking records and tossing 4&5k yrd seasons. I'm not making up those pedestrian stats for QBs in the late 60s early 70s...look them up. They're dismal in every facet compared to any decade that followed. Not saying they were bad QBs, they were the best of their contemporaries of that era. As team philosophies changed to more passing, QBs got more complex playbooks, had to learn to read varying defensive schemes, and were told to be smarter with the ball. Teams also prioritized drafting more athletic receivers which in turn were coached to run crisper and craftier routes. The only modern QB to survive with his on field legacy intact, despite retiring with the most interceptions in league history is Favre. Played a long time, rarely missed a game, and threw a ton... ballooned some gaudy stats but what's the one knock on him?...Reckless. Often threw into double or triple coverage trying to be a hero...and it cost him games, some even in the post season. Simply put, my assessment is correct based on factual evidence. You won't see a db break 81 because iffy QBs no longer start for long and good QBS just aren't as sloppy with the ball as the bygone eras., plus just about every QB now has a cannon for an arm and good scrambling abilities to give them a second option to throwing downfield when there's nothing really open and not because Krause was so much better than Bailey, Revis, Sherman, Woodson, Sanders, Polamalu...etc...
Fun fact. Mike Shula (Don Shula’s son) coached Ryan DeMeco Ryans in college at Bama. Both played there. Obviously Derrick Thomas played at Bama at well, who still holds the record for the most sacks in the NFL and most sacks in a season in college.
2 players have a number of career records that won't be broken: Jerry Rice and his Wide Receiver records and Tom Brady and his QB records. Of course with Brady, seeing as most QB's reture before 40, it's the fact that he played through his 44th birthday. He got lucky too in that he was never really injured other than missing the entire 2008 season with a torn ACL but other than the, he was never really injured. But yeah, I doubt we will never see a QB play to the age of 45 which means I doubt one single player at ANY position will ever be able to win 7 Super Bowls.
Jerry Rice’s 22,900 receiving yards is something that will really NEVER be broken. Just writing the number is utterly ridiculous. Even when comparing with All Purpose yards only four over 20K… it’s just nuts.
It's gratifying to see a video that acknowledges Paul Krause' NFL career record 81 interceptions. Especially after his 100 All-Time Team: Defensive Backs - NFL 100 snub. Krause never even made 'Honorable Mention'! Jerry Rice is at the top because he has the all-time receiving records. Emmitt Smith is number one because he has the all-time rushing record. We don't see those two (Rice, Smith) snubbed.
I think with so many teams passing on goaline situations, Emmitt's career rushing TD record is less likely to be broken than his career rushing yards record.
Crazy how just under 297 straight starts is crazy in the NFL while Cal ripen Jr. Played over 2151 straight and earlier this season, Phil Kessel broke the NHL consecutive starts with like 980 straight (while playing g for my Vegas Golden Knights). Goes to show that there is no way you will have, at MOST no more than an 18 game season (we at 17 now) cause if you even just played 82 like in hockey, there would be 10th stringers playing
The guy in NE had 329 total wins to Shula’s 347. AP came within a handful of yards of breaking Dickerson record. The only record that seems safe is Rice’s record but the season in now 17 games and designed to emphasis offense so I’m not sure that’s even untouchable
Umm, these should be relatively “unapproachable records” and unfortunately, Bill Belechick is CURRENTLY at 298 regular season wins - meaning he’s likely to beat Shula’s record. He already holds the postseason victories at 31, and that’ll be a tough one to beat in and of itself
Let's be honest... Walter Payton EARNED every yard he rushed for whereas, as a Cowboy, Emmitt Smith had a great offensive line to run behind. If Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson had offensive lines like Emmitt Smith, I doubt Smith would have that record
and yet 40 years later it still stands along with his rookie rushing record and fewest games to reach 10K. Somehow I think you underestimate his greatness and circumstances for this record. Only 8 men have reached 2k, only one in the last decade. Only 9 times has anyone topped 1900 yards. Of the top 50 seasons all time only 10 men are on the list twice. Only 2 men have done it 3 times. Dickerson is one of those. Finding a combination of a truly great RB with a Coach that wants to run the ball, a rule set that allows for it, the health to handle the (approximately 375) carries while averaging 5.5+ per carry for a season doesn't happen often and has been becoming more rare as the passing league progresses. On top of all this, it requires a good defense. Without a good defense, a team can't win running the ball that much without losing their butts off. Henry gave it a good go in this passing league, but hasn't gotten close again. Only 2 men have reached 10,000yrds in under 100 games. Dickerson doing it 7 games faster than Jim Brown. Finding an RB of this quality in this set of circumstances is more than just rare.
No ones gonna beat Emmitt Smith's rushing records for tds and yardage. . As for Bradys record it's more likely to be beaten since the games are positive for qbs nowadays
28 nfl season and age 48 record yes ok !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1949 NFL draft he was 20 years old
I think Brian Mitchell's career kick and punt return yardage record should've been included. He's over 4,000 yards above 2nd place and I do not see anyone currently playing in the NFL who's anywhere close
Glad my team is finally in the books...course the perfect Dolphin season...Vikings lost...but, we just had the greatest comeback in NFL...down 33...8min left in the 3rd...GO VIKINGS!!!
Lets acknowledge the fact that they quit throwing at Dion sanders. The offense just decided they would use the other two thirds of the field. Still good on ya Paul Crauss
Rice's records will never be broken partly because of the salary cap. No WR will be able to play that long. just too easy to draft someone and pay them a rookie contract and get the same yearly production. Same with Emmit. The salary cap makes it much harder to keep older players.
Guess I'm getting real old when Jim Brown's name doesn't come up anymore. Imagine what he would have done in 17 game seasons. Almost everybody that played in the same era said there was a huge gap between him and the rest of the league. The best football player EVER. Retired at 29 because Art Modell's an idiot.
He was a grown man playing with kids. With a 17-game season, and no Modell, he would have records that would be untouchable. I'm old, the SB and I share the same Bday. I don't really watch anymore because it might as well be flag.
Wasn’t AP 9 yards away from breaking ED’s record? The more unbreakable one is his rookie rushing record because great backs only get 1 shot at it, although Elliott would’ve broken it in 2016 if Dallas didn’t have home field locked up after 14 games
Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice recorded for most receiving TDs in a season with 23 TDs and Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice record for most receiving yards in a season with 1964 yards but Jerry Rice career longevity will never be broke
All are very impressive, but records are set to be broken and eventually, most of these will be broken as well. The ones that weren’t mentioned are Tom Brady’s records, 7 Super Bowls, I’m sure at some point it’ll be broken, however, not anytime soon. The number of years TB12 played and was near the top, if not the top. Don’t know if that one will ever be broken
@@The.SportsHub I agree with you that majority of these records wont be touched. They are longevity records and players do not reach the lengths of a career needed to get anywhere near them
As much as I hate to admit it, Shula will not hold that record in a maximum of four years. Even in a terrible season, Patriots get to or near 10 wins every season. He's only 30 short now. Bill may literally keep coaching purely to break that record.
1:58 I thought Don Shula's career NFL win total was 328. Regardless it's in jeopardy. Bill Belichick is currently at 298 . Andy Reid is at 247 and he has a young G.O.A.T. named Patrick Mahomes.
Why does Emmitt's high school, college, and Cardinals film all look like the same guy who played for the Cowboys? Were all those o-line's the best ever? He sure seemed to show patience, burst, breakaway speed, and tackle-breaking ability at all levels of his career, so, was it really his o-line and why didn't other Cowboys RBs have similar success? If the o-line was that great, Moose Johnston should've been breaking runs like John Riggins or Mike Alstott but his longest career run was 18 yards and he has a 3.2 ypc. He played for the Cowboys for 11 years and only has 753 yards and 8 TDs. The guy had some speed to him which is why he was used in the passing game, so, where were his holes and why couldn't he break off big runs? He'd bowl people over in the passing game but didn't do much when handed the ball. Tommy Agee played for the Cowboys from 1990(Emmitt's rookie year) - 1994 and had 304 yards, 1 TD, a 3.4 ypc, his longest run was 28 yards, and he was faster than Emmitt who has a career 4.2 ypc. Everyone but Emmitt who ran behind that line proved not everyone could run behind that line but people just like too ignore it. Agee should've looked like Tony Pollard subbing for Zeke, but he just looked like a bum, which is why Moose got the ball more than him. Half of those 90's Cowboys games were over by midway through the 3rd and with a former college coach who loved running up the score, Agee should've had a lot of yards while Emmitt was sitting on the bench wearing his baseball hat the entire 4th quarter, but he nor anyone else was able to have success behind that same o-line. Emmitt's final season he had 937 yards and 9 TDS in 15 games playing for the 6-10 Cardinals with Leonard Davis, and bunch of dudes who never made the Pro Bowl, much less All-Pro as his lineman. You really should watch his high school and college film because he's doing the same stuff he'd do for the Cowboys. Did that line help, sure,, but the guy was elite and you'll never hear a defender from that era say he was overrated because they had to try and tackle him, which wasn't easy. D-lineman had a hard time bringing him down, he'd blow up linebackers, and embarrass DBs and has been doing it since he was a kid. It's also funny how people like to forget Barry had Lomas Brown(1x All-Pro, 7x Pro Bowl) and Kevin Glover(3x Pro Bowl) on his o-line from 1989-1996, and in 1993, they had Bill Fralic(4x Pro Bowl, 2x All-Pro), but Barrry didn't have a good o-line? Them dudes certainly didn't get those awards for their pass-blocking. Guaranteed Emmitt gets over 1,000 yards a season behind that same Lions o-line Barry had, especially the 1993 team. If he could almost do it as an old man with worse players for the Cardinals, he certainly could've done it with the Lions during his prime. I'm never gonna say he was better than Barry, but he's top 4 all-time without question and more than likely would've had success anywhere just based on his style and durability. It's 1. Barry, 2. Walter, 3. Jim, 4. Emmitt, and you could put Petterson, Dorsett, Allen, Dickerson, Simpson, Tomlinson, Faulk, Thomas, or Harris as the 5th or tied for 5th and no one would disagree. The first 3 mins of this have him playing at all levels, and it just looks like the same guy no matter who his o-lineman are from high school to his final season playing with the Cardinals. The guy was awesome and no one wanted to take him head on as you'll see with all the failed arm-tackle attempts, most of which come from 90s NFCE defenses that dominated most other RBs. Part of the video around the 6 min mark is Bill Belichick using the words "enamored" and "marvel" while talking about him, then said how Emmitt could make his o-line look good and Jim Brown called him a warrior while heaping praise on him by saying he was the epitome of having the mental attitude of "I must be great" due to not being the biggest, fastest, strongest, or most athletically gifted, and said he always had a move to continue a play. He deserves far more credit than people want to give him and I don't believe you can watch this 12 min video and still hold the same opinion, especially with his Cardinals film. Dudes still weren''t looking for contact at any level, and you'll see DTs just trying to swing an arm at him. Once he got past the d-line, it was done no one wanted to deal with that man, especially when he was moving full speed because he was either gonna run you down or break your ankles with a juke, jump cut, or spin move. Jim Brown's comments are funny because in this video, Emmitt typically looks like the strongest, fastest, most athletically gifted player on the field. He just makes people look as silly as they did against Barry but in a different way. ruclips.net/video/_yUfYTypMnc/видео.html&ab_channel=DukeWilson14 Here's a video of Barry Sanders highlights but don't watch him, watch his o-line because they do a pretty good job of making holes in the inside and room to run on the outside because they weren't as bad as people like to say. ruclips.net/video/PBhn1wMyzV4/видео.html&ab_channel=NFL
So why is only one in the H.O.F(Larry Allen)who showed up after Emmitt already had 3 Rushing Titles and 2SB's and where was all of those O-linemen when Emmitt Broke Sweetness All-Time Rushing Record....Either out of Football or Hurt that year like Larry Allen was....Stop Hating on #22
Shula record is close to being broken now. Bill belichick is 30 wins away. It definitely is not a record that will NEVER be broken. Mike Tomlin has a shot at it too, he is still far away but young. There are records that will never be broken Favre might be one of them. Here are more Tom brady 5 td passes in a quarter. The possessions is the main obstacle. You would need to have 6 possessions in a 15 min quarter. The other team would also get 6, so 12 possessions in 15 mins. Might be impossible. Stephen gostkowski consecutive extra point record. When he started the record, the extra point was a much shorter attempt, then they moved it back. Tyreek hill receiving yards in a quarter. 203 yards in one quarter seems untouchable. LaDainian Tomlinson rushing tds in a season. I don't think anyone has got 20 in a season since Tomlinson got 28. Fair to mention the other part of that record. 31 total tds in a season.
Eric Dickerson is NOT single season rushing record holder, officially he is but did we forget when Barry sat out the last few attempts just so the second string had some playing time?? BARRY IS KING
The only thing Barry Sanders is King of is the Lions 🦁....Nothing more Nothing Less name anything that sets him apart from any other player besides ESPN Highlights 🙄
So, Barry never rushed for more yards than Eric Dickerson in a single season. It sounds like you believe he COULD'VE but he didn't. That makes Eric the record holder. You can't base records off of could haves.
What about Jim Brown 5.2 yards per carry and 100 yards a game rushing...for a carrer? It is unlikely anyone will do that again. Barry Sanders averaged 5.0 yards a carry and is the only one close. Jim Brown made his yards practically always going forward as well.
Barry would've retired right after breaking the record because the Lions were trash and he had nothing left to play for, so, Emmitt would've still played until he broke Barry's record which would've just been slightly more than Walter. Barry's last season he had 1491 yards which was 1458 yards short of Walter's 16,726, and with nothing left to play for, he retires with around 17,000-17,500 yards and Emmitt ran for 18,355. You can play "what if" about him playing long enough to break the record, but you can't change who he played for, the reason he retired, or his personality, which wouldn't have been to keep playing to set an unbreakable record for a team he knew wasn't going to ever win a Super Bowl. The guy who just handed the ball to the ref after a TD and retired because he knew he was never gonna win a Super Bowl ain't the guy who would just run up a record to keep someone else from breaking it. There's no scenario based on what we know about Barry as a person and the Lions still to this daythat has him playing any longer than breaking the rushing record and finishing that season.
Emmitt would have kept going until he was number one. It was his sole purpose in life. Besides, does a 20-year career make Jerry Rice’s record null? Because he didn’t set the record in 10 or 15? That’s a ludicrous premise.
@@codacreator6162 While I agree with you on Emmitt, Jerry came into the league in 1985 and by 1995 he owned all the major receiving records. In 1992, he broke the all-time career receiving TDs record by passing Steve Largent. In 1995, he broke the all-time career receiving yards record by passing James Lofton, the all-time career receptions record by passing Art Monk, and Charley Hennigan's record of most yards receiving in a season which is now held by Calvin Johnson who broke Jerry's record in 2012. So, yeah, he did break every major receiving record in 10-15 years and it actually only took 11 to do it. Also, it's not a receiving record but in 1994, Jerry broke Jim Brown’s record of 126 total career TDs.
9:56 Seven sacks wasn't enough to win the game. Derrick Thomas missed the last sack that would've given him 8 and the win for the Chiefs. Dave Kreig escaped and delivered the game winning touchdown with no time left. ruclips.net/video/pUSFq5OatdI/видео.html
@@yvettereaves and couldn't block or rec out of the backfield and couldn't be in on 3rd down and short yardage. Barry wus only a boom or bust back who only depended on the big run which he wus human so he ain't breaking every single carry for a long td run. The only thing he had on Emmitt wus he wus a bit faster and I say that because even though Emmitt Smith wus slower he still wus football fast and like Barry Emmitt Smith also had highlight runs at times. Emmitt may not go 80 yds for a TD but he would go 40 twice and double the TD . Emmitt Smith Is by far the better all around, durable,give u all he has back. Barry is more popular because he done it with flash but flash don't win championships. While Barry wus playing "hey, see if u can grab my nutz while I have a football n my arms" Emmitt Smith wus the workhorse back who carried the cowboys in the super bowl years and well deserved to be the all time leading rushing yards leader and TD scorer
Barry no one could catch in the open field and wus elusive but not effective enough to be successful because he ran backwards too much Emmitt could run ppl over and break tackles and carry defensive lineman 10 yards on his back guys twice his size couldn't bring Emmitt down. Emmitt Smith wus slower than Barry but much stronger legs than Barry
Emmit Smith is overrated. He took that record because Barry Sanders respected Payton so much he did t want to break it. And Payton nor Sanders had the teams Smith had and still were more dominant runners. If they had a team like the 90s Cowboys, specifically their offensive line, they would've set records no one would have even come close to. Payton is still the most complete runner in history, Sanders was the most dynamic.
Jim McMahon won 25 consecutive starts, including playoff games. I don’t see that record falling anytime soon.
Amazing compilation of records. Shows how competitive and dedicated these men were to their craft.
There will never be another player in the NFL like Jerry Rice. I say this as a Cowboy fan. Rice was a man among boys for most of his career. He and Montana owned Monday Night Football for an entire decade. Derrick Thomas was my favorite pass rusher of the 90's.
Yeah I knew during his career that he kinda ruined it for all future wide receivers. Nobody will ever get close to those career receiving yards. Most of his records have been or will be broken. But not that one.
Brady/Gronkowski?
What's crazier is that he got more of his stats with a different Qb. Steve young

Brett Farve Streak Is Unreal 😳… On Another Note Jerry Rice Yards After Catch Is Simply AMAZING!!! 💯
What about Jerry Rice's all time touchdown record? That'll never be broken.
That's exactly what I was going to put
These records will be broken because eventually the nfl will have a 18 game regular season. Meaning players will have 2 more games each year. So a player playing 10 seasons will have 20 extra games these players never had.
@@mikegendron6090 All records will eventually be broken.
And Emmitt Smith's 164 career rushing TD's.
@@brianwaller7383 Absolutely right
Another record that will Never be broken is the Longest run from scrimmage for a touchdown. Tony Dorsett ran 99.75 yards for a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings on a Monday night game. The Vikings kicked off and the ball went out on the 1 FOOT line of the Cowboys. Dorsett did the rest. There are several 99 yard runs but none that matches what Dorsett did.
The crazy thing with Coach Shula's win record is that he coached quite a few seasons where the NFL season was only 14 games long. It didn't bump up to the 16 game season until The Bucs and the Shehawks joined the league in 1976.
Emmitt also holds the record for rushing attempts and rushing td's. I don't see those getting broken any time soon.
It will eventually. Never say never.Ray Rice would of broke his record. He was not set up with that girl in the elevator.
Wanted to watch this so bad but the music and talking voice I just can’t do it😢
As impressive as Favre's streak of starting games at QB, it's equally as embarrassing that he holds the record for most ever turnovers, with 363. It's another record he holds that will likely never be surpassed. Dude committed an average of at least one turnover every game.
Erick Makai@ And he holds the record for stealing welfare money from poor kids in Mississippi.
If they allowd winston to start 🤣
Jerry Rice's touchdown and reception records wont ever be broken until humans have merged with robots to form a hybrid. But will they REALLY count?
yeah, i think the only one whose been close to on pace if he could actually play as long was Antonio Brown. and we know that turned out.
Wow. Hard to believe it's already been 20 years since Emmitt retired as the all time leading rusher.
And there isn't a single active player going into the 23 season that is even within 10,000 yds of Emmitt Smith. We can finally say this record mark will never be broken or his carries or rushing tds
That’s because Emmitt Smith rushed behind the greatest set of offensive linemen that’s ever been assembled in the history of the league each season he played. I’m not taking anything away from Emmitt by stating this because he was a tremendous running back. I would love to have seen Barry Sanders behind those linemen. That would be a sight to see.
@@justinnichols2930 each season he played lol u obviously never watched the cowboys each season. He only had them until 95 after that he only had Larry Allen who actually didn't come into the league until 95. Plus Emmitt Smith made his line the greatest line n NFL history. Some of those guys were there in 89 with walker before the trade
@@justinnichols2930 plus Barry would b still on the sidelines half the cowboys games lol Emmitt wus by far a better all around back than Sanders. Flash only look good n highlight reels but don't win games
@GR never said Emmitt wus the whole team but he definitely carried the cowboys on his back. Barry is a quitter and stop dreaming of Barry on the cowboys. Barry would not have fit in on the cowboys offense anyway. He wusnt dependable standing on the sidelines on third down and on short yardage and definitely couldn't pass block worth crap. Plus we don't need him running the wrong way. Seen him run backwards so many times when the lanes were open. Barry would rather play grab ass than win championships. And to ur point about oh Barry didn't have a team around him u Kno that's bs. 2 pro bowl wrs and 2 pro bowl lineman plus he made the playoffs the amount of times Dallas did with Emmitt. Just Emmitt actually showed up come playoff time instead of run for negative yards in a playoff game. Say wut u want but when ur Barry fuvkin Sanders there is no excuse to run for negative yards especially n the playoffs.
As halfback at the University of Illinois, Red Grange ran for td's of 95, 67, 56, and 44 yards, in the first quarter of a game against a top Michigan team. His career stats don't look so great, but he was an amazing runner, called the Galloping Ghost.
Tom Landry - 20 consecutive winning seasons. Even Belichick's streak ended at 19.
Tony Dorsett - 99 yard TD run; can't be broken without rule changes.
Rice actually benefitted from the West Coast offense scheme; high percentage passing instead of run first. Despite continued passing stat inflation his record might be safe for a while because the salary cap makes veterans less affordable than they used to be.
Technically the longest possible play is a 109 yard TD but that is technically a different thing cause you can only get that on a punt or kick return.
@@CONSOLETRUTH2 His record is run from scrimmage. He was the first. It's since been tied but can't be broken.
But he did it none the less.
@@mikepalmer1971 Who?
Nice video
If any of these are to be broken, it would probably be a receiving record or a passing record. I think the rushing records are safe unless the NFL reverts back to a run first league.
Bill Belichick could break Shula's coaching record
Ya being that the quarterback is getting close to not have to worry about getting hit I would say you are correct.
This is true. In addition, defensive backs cannot even sneeze on a receiver let alone hit them.
I really like this video, and how you incorporated the music in the background! 🔥
Belichick has 329 wins, which is only 18 behind Shula. Two more seasons and that record will be broken.
Yeah but shula won without having to cheat
I just wanted to give a shout out to Touch Down Tony Dorsett and his Record setting 99 1/2 yards Touchdown run that will never be broken! Can only be tide! 🏈 🙏🏻
Ditto that. That run was awesome!
Barry Sanders would be the rushing yards leader if he hadn't retired early.
I think of all the NFL records listed in this video, the career interceptions record (81 held by Paul Krause) would be the hardest to break. 1979 was the last time that record was broken (44+ years ago) and since then, the career receiving and rushing records have been broken AT LEAST twice (career rushing record by Walter Payton in 1984 and Emmitt Smith in 2002, the career receiving yards record by Charlie Joiner in 1986, Steve Largent in 1989, James Lofton in 1990, and Jerry Rice in 1995).
I think what makes the interceptions record almost impossible to break is that as a DB you must be durable enough to play every game for at least 13 seasons, and during those 13 seasons you must good enough to average OVER 6 interceptions a season (for most players today, 6 interceptions for one season is a career high). Finally, and probably most importantly, you have to be underrated or overlooked for most of your career because if you build a reputation as a ball hawk, no QB in their right mind would throw the ball in your direction (which would definitely minimize opportunities to intercept the ball). This explains why great DBs like Deion Sanders, Ed Reed, and Charles Woodson weren't even close to breaking Krause's record - the opposing QB didn't dare throw the ball their way on purpose (thus chances to intercept the ball were minimal).
It just goes to show how underrated Paul Krause was, and still is, for the career he had. To give you an idea how overlooked Krause was consider Krause was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998 - 19 years after he retired. When lists are compiled regarding the NFL's greatest ever Defensive Backs, how many times does Krause's name get mentioned (virtually never), yet he tops them all as the NFL's all-time leader in interceptions.
@pv032...and look who's second on that list, another guy that played a long time ago. The reason Krause isn't mentioned among the best defensive players or even the best DBs, is because he was a free roaming safety that benefitted from playing in that era. He just mopped up the weekly deluge of errant or ill-advised passes from the risk taking QBs of the 70s. Even your star quarterbacks had nowhere near the accuracy or football acumen that most starters have today. QBs of that time routinely had lifetime ratings in the 70s and rarely in the 80 range. Today, good QBs are usually in the 90-105 range. They are more careful with the ball because tossing a ton of ints is a sure way to lose your job (e.g. Jameis Winston). Teams no longer keep investing in a QB just because he was drafted high or won the Heisman. If you don't perform at a high level by year 3, your probably cooked. If Plunkett played today he wouldn't have won two SBs because his historically rancid play would find him run out of the league around year 4. It's why he's not in the HoF. It took Stabler dying, before the veteran's committee of the Hall put him in...why? Because he had more ints than tds, won only 1 SB behind a powerhouse team, and had a lifetime qb rating in the 60s. In summary, starting signal callers in that era routinely threw 20+ picks a year and rarely threw the ball away to save them from disaster. QBs today are pressured to perform and not make frivolous mistakes. It won't be broken for that reason and not because Krause was so much more special than any other db in NFL history...Rod Woodson on the other hand...well,...
“Even your star QB’s had nowhere near the accuracy of starters today”
Bullshit, more like they didn’t have pussy rules protecting them and allowing them to pad their stats like QB’s today - millennial stat monkeys like you always forget to mention that fact 😂
@@DownfallHitlerParody Why the name calling? Millennial? I'm probably older than you kid. The rules on where and how you can tackle a QB today have no bearing on their accuracy and decision making. The 70s was historically devoid of teams that passed frequently. Most teams were run first. With the exception of Jurgenson or Bradshaw, few had strong arms until the second half of the decade saw some more prototypical types like Jones come into the league, and passing plays were predictable (usually 3rd down) so defenses could adjust accordingly. I bet you have no qualms about football in the 80s and probably loved watching football in that era... didn't you? But wait, would that make you a stat monkey as you say? You know, with the explosion of teams going to west coast, k-gun, or spread 5 wide out offenses. Trigger happy gunslingers like Marino, Fouts, Elway, Esiason, Kosar...etc. breaking records and tossing 4&5k yrd seasons. I'm not making up those pedestrian stats for QBs in the late 60s early 70s...look them up. They're dismal in every facet compared to any decade that followed. Not saying they were bad QBs, they were the best of their contemporaries of that era. As team philosophies changed to more passing, QBs got more complex playbooks, had to learn to read varying defensive schemes, and were told to be smarter with the ball. Teams also prioritized drafting more athletic receivers which in turn were coached to run crisper and craftier routes. The only modern QB to survive with his on field legacy intact, despite retiring with the most interceptions in league history is Favre. Played a long time, rarely missed a game, and threw a ton... ballooned some gaudy stats but what's the one knock on him?...Reckless. Often threw into double or triple coverage trying to be a hero...and it cost him games, some even in the post season. Simply put, my assessment is correct based on factual evidence. You won't see a db break 81 because iffy QBs no longer start for long and good QBS just aren't as sloppy with the ball as the bygone eras., plus just about every QB now has a cannon for an arm and good scrambling abilities to give them a second option to throwing downfield when there's nothing really open and not because Krause was so much better than Bailey, Revis, Sherman, Woodson, Sanders, Polamalu...etc...
@@BuccWylde This is you: 🤡
Jerry Rice has it by over 5000 yards... XD
Derrick Thomas 7 sacks in a game and Paul Krause 81 interceptions for sure will NEVER!!!!!! be broken.
Fun fact. Mike Shula (Don Shula’s son) coached Ryan DeMeco Ryans in college at Bama. Both played there. Obviously Derrick Thomas played at Bama at well, who still holds the record for the most sacks in the NFL and most sacks in a season in college.
Darrell Green’s 19 consecutive seasons with an interception will still be an NFL record at the heat death of the universe.
OJ 2000 record he did on 14 games not 16 games. Anybody record can be broken if its done in more games
True
Thanks for the analysis, Microsoft Sam.
2 players have a number of career records that won't be broken: Jerry Rice and his Wide Receiver records and Tom Brady and his QB records. Of course with Brady, seeing as most QB's reture before 40, it's the fact that he played through his 44th birthday. He got lucky too in that he was never really injured other than missing the entire 2008 season with a torn ACL but other than the, he was never really injured. But yeah, I doubt we will never see a QB play to the age of 45 which means I doubt one single player at ANY position will ever be able to win 7 Super Bowls.
Hmmm, for some reason players like the current QB of The Chiefs have a pretty good chance. Just saying
Any passing record will probably be broken.
Jerry Rice’s 22,900 receiving yards is something that will really NEVER be broken. Just writing the number is utterly ridiculous. Even when comparing with All Purpose yards only four over 20K… it’s just nuts.
Thought Paul had 83...my bad! GO VIKINGS!
Emmitt smith record will be broken just wait its possible.
Was the name of the beat playing in the back ground
It's gratifying to see a video that acknowledges Paul Krause' NFL career record 81 interceptions.
Especially after his 100 All-Time Team: Defensive Backs - NFL 100 snub.
Krause never even made 'Honorable Mention'!
Jerry Rice is at the top because he has the all-time receiving records.
Emmitt Smith is number one because he has the all-time rushing record.
We don't see those two (Rice, Smith) snubbed.
How is Dickersons record untreatable when Adrian Peterson nearly broke it🤦🏻🤦🏻
Belichick is closing in on Shula's record.he needs 21to surpass halas, and 31 to surpass Shula.
The Hood could pass Coach Shula in a couple of seasons as the winningest head coach.
He’s already got the records for being the biggest cheater and worst dressed coach.
I'm not a Tom Brady fan, but his 100,000 passing yards will be VERY hard to beat.
I think with so many teams passing on goaline situations, Emmitt's career rushing TD record is less likely to be broken than his career rushing yards record.
Crazy how just under 297 straight starts is crazy in the NFL while Cal ripen Jr. Played over 2151 straight and earlier this season, Phil Kessel broke the NHL consecutive starts with like 980 straight (while playing g for my Vegas Golden Knights).
Goes to show that there is no way you will have, at MOST no more than an 18 game season (we at 17 now) cause if you even just played 82 like in hockey, there would be 10th stringers playing
Well they maybe be going to flag football so the they could. I mean you already cannot hardly hit a quarterback.
Ripken had 2632
The guy in NE had 329 total wins to Shula’s 347.
AP came within a handful of yards of breaking Dickerson record.
The only record that seems safe is Rice’s record but the season in now 17 games and designed to emphasis offense so I’m not sure that’s even untouchable
No mention of Tom Landry, 20 consecutive years of winning seasons. Go cowboys
@@joshkeller4780 yeah go Cowgirls
Yeah Shulas time is limited. Belichick is taking that in the next five years or so
@@AleisterMeowley he doesn't have Tom Brady anymore. Harder to win games for Belicheck now days
So, why? haven't they retired Paul's jersey...he earned it
Umm, these should be relatively “unapproachable records” and unfortunately, Bill Belechick is CURRENTLY at 298 regular season wins - meaning he’s likely to beat Shula’s record. He already holds the postseason victories at 31, and that’ll be a tough one to beat in and of itself
With all the new rules, Bruce Smith's 200 career sack record should hold
Let's be honest... Walter Payton EARNED every yard he rushed for whereas, as a Cowboy, Emmitt Smith had a great offensive line to run behind. If Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson had offensive lines like Emmitt Smith, I doubt Smith would have that record
Eric Dickenson's record is not unbreakable. Several players have come close
and yet 40 years later it still stands along with his rookie rushing record and fewest games to reach 10K. Somehow I think you underestimate his greatness and circumstances for this record. Only 8 men have reached 2k, only one in the last decade. Only 9 times has anyone topped 1900 yards. Of the top 50 seasons all time only 10 men are on the list twice. Only 2 men have done it 3 times. Dickerson is one of those. Finding a combination of a truly great RB with a Coach that wants to run the ball, a rule set that allows for it, the health to handle the (approximately 375) carries while averaging 5.5+ per carry for a season doesn't happen often and has been becoming more rare as the passing league progresses. On top of all this, it requires a good defense. Without a good defense, a team can't win running the ball that much without losing their butts off. Henry gave it a good go in this passing league, but hasn't gotten close again. Only 2 men have reached 10,000yrds in under 100 games. Dickerson doing it 7 games faster than Jim Brown. Finding an RB of this quality in this set of circumstances is more than just rare.
@@ricmotta2495
Well said and thank you. ED is my fav player all time. He doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He was truly a remarkable runner.

True.
Only problem is Calvin didn't have the longevity and would've could've don't mean shit
Colts fans love Dickerson.
Why can't I save this into sports?
If they keep making the game softer and lengthening the season these records may be broken.
Never forget, Sweetness 💙✌🏽
I can see most of these being broken at some point. Only Favres starting record seems impossible to break in today's game
No ones gonna beat Emmitt Smith's rushing records for tds and yardage. . As for Bradys record it's more likely to be beaten since the games are positive for qbs nowadays
28 nfl season and age 48 record yes ok !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1949 NFL draft he was 20 years old
The single game sack record will be broken before the others
I think Brian Mitchell's career kick and punt return yardage record should've been included. He's over 4,000 yards above 2nd place and I do not see anyone currently playing in the NFL who's anywhere close
Glad my team is finally in the books...course the perfect Dolphin season...Vikings lost...but, we just had the greatest comeback in NFL...down 33...8min left in the 3rd...GO VIKINGS!!!
How the nfl has become very, very pass friendly. I could definitely see someone beating Rice record.
So true. Teams pass 60% percent of the time now, so with all that passing that record should fall.
Lets acknowledge the fact that they quit throwing at Dion sanders. The offense just decided they would use the other two thirds of the field. Still good on ya Paul Crauss
Barry& Megatron #1's! ⚒️🦁
There's always that never say never
Everybody that says Brady or Belichek needs to be quiet cheaters
The '76 Steelers defensive records deserve a mention.. .
The 85 Bears had a better defense.
Belichick will break the all time wins
At a point in time yes , but not anymore. When Brady left NE, there went belichicks chances
@@ravenraines7840 hes 30 wins away unless he retires rly soon he will break it
Rice's records will never be broken partly because of the salary cap. No WR will be able to play that long. just too easy to draft someone and pay them a rookie contract and get the same yearly production. Same with Emmit. The salary cap makes it much harder to keep older players.
Guess I'm getting real old when Jim Brown's name doesn't come up anymore. Imagine what he would have done in 17 game seasons. Almost everybody that played in the same era said there was a huge gap between him and the rest of the league. The best football player EVER. Retired at 29 because Art Modell's an idiot.
He was a grown man playing with kids. With a 17-game season, and no Modell, he would have records that would be untouchable. I'm old, the SB and I share the same Bday. I don't really watch anymore because it might as well be flag.
Wasn’t AP 9 yards away from breaking ED’s record? The more unbreakable one is his rookie rushing record because great backs only get 1 shot at it, although Elliott would’ve broken it in 2016 if Dallas didn’t have home field locked up after 14 games
Never say never.
I'm a Browns fan but if Jamarr Chase's career keeps going the way it started he may have a chance to get Jerry Rice's record. Only time will tell.
nice for jerry rice to have 2 HOF QBs throwing to you and staying healthy.
Can you elaborate on the increased work the RB are doing today that they weren't doing in the 80’s and 90’s?
Randy Moss broke Jerry Rice recorded for most receiving TDs in a season with 23 TDs and Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice record for most receiving yards in a season with 1964 yards but Jerry Rice career longevity will never be broke
Records were made to be broken ...
All are very impressive, but records are set to be broken and eventually, most of these will be broken as well. The ones that weren’t mentioned are Tom Brady’s records, 7 Super Bowls, I’m sure at some point it’ll be broken, however, not anytime soon. The number of years TB12 played and was near the top, if not the top. Don’t know if that one will ever be broken
Belichick is at 298 if he coaches a few mores seasons he can have the all-time wins for Coaches
I should’ve thought of that. I apologize for spreading false information
@@The.SportsHub I agree with you that majority of these records wont be touched. They are longevity records and players do not reach the lengths of a career needed to get anywhere near them
3:58 Of all the RB with over 2,000 yards a season OJ Is the only one to do it in 14 games. The rest needed 16 games. Now they're playing 17 games.
Hmmm, if this guy from Detroit wouldn't have retired. I'm thinking the rushing records would've been greater
Yeah George Bland’s 26yrs won’t ever be broken
As much as I hate to admit it, Shula will not hold that record in a maximum of four years. Even in a terrible season, Patriots get to or near 10 wins every season. He's only 30 short now. Bill may literally keep coaching purely to break that record.
And if Barry Sanders had Emmitt Smith's O-line, Smith would #2
Pure facts
A Peterson came within a few yards of beating Eric Dickerson while playing for Minnesota.
He was actually 9 yards short of the record
🔥🔥🔥
1:58 I thought Don Shula's career NFL win total was 328. Regardless it's in jeopardy. Bill Belichick is currently at 298 . Andy Reid is at 247 and he has a young G.O.A.T. named Patrick Mahomes.
NIGHT TRAIN LANE 14 INTS IN 1952
Emmit Smith doesn’t have that record without that insane Dallas O line he had.
Why does Emmitt's high school, college, and Cardinals film all look like the same guy who played for the Cowboys? Were all those o-line's the best ever? He sure seemed to show patience, burst, breakaway speed, and tackle-breaking ability at all levels of his career, so, was it really his o-line and why didn't other Cowboys RBs have similar success?
If the o-line was that great, Moose Johnston should've been breaking runs like John Riggins or Mike Alstott but his longest career run was 18 yards and he has a 3.2 ypc. He played for the Cowboys for 11 years and only has 753 yards and 8 TDs. The guy had some speed to him which is why he was used in the passing game, so, where were his holes and why couldn't he break off big runs? He'd bowl people over in the passing game but didn't do much when handed the ball.
Tommy Agee played for the Cowboys from 1990(Emmitt's rookie year) - 1994 and had 304 yards, 1 TD, a 3.4 ypc, his longest run was 28 yards, and he was faster than Emmitt who has a career 4.2 ypc. Everyone but Emmitt who ran behind that line proved not everyone could run behind that line but people just like too ignore it. Agee should've looked like Tony Pollard subbing for Zeke, but he just looked like a bum, which is why Moose got the ball more than him. Half of those 90's Cowboys games were over by midway through the 3rd and with a former college coach who loved running up the score, Agee should've had a lot of yards while Emmitt was sitting on the bench wearing his baseball hat the entire 4th quarter, but he nor anyone else was able to have success behind that same o-line.
Emmitt's final season he had 937 yards and 9 TDS in 15 games playing for the 6-10 Cardinals with Leonard Davis, and bunch of dudes who never made the Pro Bowl, much less All-Pro as his lineman. You really should watch his high school and college film because he's doing the same stuff he'd do for the Cowboys. Did that line help, sure,, but the guy was elite and you'll never hear a defender from that era say he was overrated because they had to try and tackle him, which wasn't easy. D-lineman had a hard time bringing him down, he'd blow up linebackers, and embarrass DBs and has been doing it since he was a kid.
It's also funny how people like to forget Barry had Lomas Brown(1x All-Pro, 7x Pro Bowl) and Kevin Glover(3x Pro Bowl) on his o-line from 1989-1996, and in 1993, they had Bill Fralic(4x Pro Bowl, 2x All-Pro), but Barrry didn't have a good o-line? Them dudes certainly didn't get those awards for their pass-blocking. Guaranteed Emmitt gets over 1,000 yards a season behind that same Lions o-line Barry had, especially the 1993 team. If he could almost do it as an old man with worse players for the Cardinals, he certainly could've done it with the Lions during his prime.
I'm never gonna say he was better than Barry, but he's top 4 all-time without question and more than likely would've had success anywhere just based on his style and durability. It's 1. Barry, 2. Walter, 3. Jim, 4. Emmitt, and you could put Petterson, Dorsett, Allen, Dickerson, Simpson, Tomlinson, Faulk, Thomas, or Harris as the 5th or tied for 5th and no one would disagree.
The first 3 mins of this have him playing at all levels, and it just looks like the same guy no matter who his o-lineman are from high school to his final season playing with the Cardinals. The guy was awesome and no one wanted to take him head on as you'll see with all the failed arm-tackle attempts, most of which come from 90s NFCE defenses that dominated most other RBs. Part of the video around the 6 min mark is Bill Belichick using the words "enamored" and "marvel" while talking about him, then said how Emmitt could make his o-line look good and Jim Brown called him a warrior while heaping praise on him by saying he was the epitome of having the mental attitude of "I must be great" due to not being the biggest, fastest, strongest, or most athletically gifted, and said he always had a move to continue a play.
He deserves far more credit than people want to give him and I don't believe you can watch this 12 min video and still hold the same opinion, especially with his Cardinals film. Dudes still weren''t looking for contact at any level, and you'll see DTs just trying to swing an arm at him. Once he got past the d-line, it was done no one wanted to deal with that man, especially when he was moving full speed because he was either gonna run you down or break your ankles with a juke, jump cut, or spin move. Jim Brown's comments are funny because in this video, Emmitt typically looks like the strongest, fastest, most athletically gifted player on the field. He just makes people look as silly as they did against Barry but in a different way.
ruclips.net/video/_yUfYTypMnc/видео.html&ab_channel=DukeWilson14
Here's a video of Barry Sanders highlights but don't watch him, watch his o-line because they do a pretty good job of making holes in the inside and room to run on the outside because they weren't as bad as people like to say.
ruclips.net/video/PBhn1wMyzV4/видео.html&ab_channel=NFL
So why is only one in the H.O.F(Larry Allen)who showed up after Emmitt already had 3 Rushing Titles and 2SB's and where was all of those O-linemen when Emmitt Broke Sweetness All-Time Rushing Record....Either out of Football or Hurt that year like Larry Allen was....Stop Hating on #22
Somebody needs to watch a career highlight video of Emmitt. Plenty of runs where he did most of it on his own.
And Tom Brady probably isn't TB without the NE oline when he got there.
Dude only had 1 hall of famer on the oline, and that one hall of famer was not there for the first 2 super bowls.
Shula record is close to being broken now. Bill belichick is 30 wins away. It definitely is not a record that will NEVER be broken. Mike Tomlin has a shot at it too, he is still far away but young.
There are records that will never be broken Favre might be one of them. Here are more
Tom brady 5 td passes in a quarter. The possessions is the main obstacle. You would need to have 6 possessions in a 15 min quarter. The other team would also get 6, so 12 possessions in 15 mins. Might be impossible.
Stephen gostkowski consecutive extra point record. When he started the record, the extra point was a much shorter attempt, then they moved it back.
Tyreek hill receiving yards in a quarter. 203 yards in one quarter seems untouchable.
LaDainian Tomlinson rushing tds in a season. I don't think anyone has got 20 in a season since Tomlinson got 28. Fair to mention the other part of that record. 31 total tds in a season.
Never say never. Shula's record will probably fall to Belichick.
Eric Dickerson is NOT single season rushing record holder, officially he is but did we forget when Barry sat out the last few attempts just so the second string had some playing time??
BARRY IS KING
The only thing Barry Sanders is King of is the Lions 🦁....Nothing more Nothing Less name anything that sets him apart from any other player besides ESPN Highlights 🙄
So, Barry never rushed for more yards than Eric Dickerson in a single season. It sounds like you believe he COULD'VE but he didn't. That makes Eric the record holder. You can't base records off of could haves.
Uh...I think that makes Dickerson the official single season rushing yards leader
What about Jim Brown 5.2 yards per carry and 100 yards a game rushing...for a carrer? It is unlikely anyone will do that again. Barry Sanders averaged 5.0 yards a carry and is the only one close. Jim Brown made his yards practically always going forward as well.
The only reason why Emmit Smith has the rushing record is because Berry Sanders retired early.
Barry would've retired right after breaking the record because the Lions were trash and he had nothing left to play for, so, Emmitt would've still played until he broke Barry's record which would've just been slightly more than Walter.
Barry's last season he had 1491 yards which was 1458 yards short of Walter's 16,726, and with nothing left to play for, he retires with around 17,000-17,500 yards and Emmitt ran for 18,355.
You can play "what if" about him playing long enough to break the record, but you can't change who he played for, the reason he retired, or his personality, which wouldn't have been to keep playing to set an unbreakable record for a team he knew wasn't going to ever win a Super Bowl.
The guy who just handed the ball to the ref after a TD and retired because he knew he was never gonna win a Super Bowl ain't the guy who would just run up a record to keep someone else from breaking it.
There's no scenario based on what we know about Barry as a person and the Lions still to this daythat has him playing any longer than breaking the rushing record and finishing that season.
No. Emmitt would've still had the record. Barry wasn't as resilient as Emmitt.
Lol the Barry Sanders cry babies they show up on every Emmitt Smith comment
Emmitt would have kept going until he was number one. It was his sole purpose in life. Besides, does a 20-year career make Jerry Rice’s record null? Because he didn’t set the record in 10 or 15? That’s a ludicrous premise.

While I agree with you on Emmitt, Jerry came into the league in 1985 and by 1995 he owned all the major receiving records.
In 1992, he broke the all-time career receiving TDs record by passing Steve Largent.
In 1995, he broke the all-time career receiving yards record by passing James Lofton, the all-time career receptions record by passing Art Monk, and Charley Hennigan's record of most yards receiving in a season which is now held by Calvin Johnson who broke Jerry's record in 2012.
So, yeah, he did break every major receiving record in 10-15 years and it actually only took 11 to do it.
Also, it's not a receiving record but in 1994, Jerry broke Jim Brown’s record of 126 total career TDs.
…. Until they are.
I think bill bellick is like 2 or 3 decent seasons from shulas record!
9:56 Seven sacks wasn't enough to win the game. Derrick Thomas missed the last sack that would've given him 8 and the win for the Chiefs. Dave Kreig escaped and delivered the game winning touchdown with no time left. ruclips.net/video/pUSFq5OatdI/видео.html
The only problem with Emmitt, he ain't Barry.
U right he not a quitter
You right he better than Barry who couldn't break between the tackles
@@yvettereaves and couldn't block or rec out of the backfield and couldn't be in on 3rd down and short yardage. Barry wus only a boom or bust back who only depended on the big run which he wus human so he ain't breaking every single carry for a long td run. The only thing he had on Emmitt wus he wus a bit faster and I say that because even though Emmitt Smith wus slower he still wus football fast and like Barry Emmitt Smith also had highlight runs at times. Emmitt may not go 80 yds for a TD but he would go 40 twice and double the TD . Emmitt Smith Is by far the better all around, durable,give u all he has back. Barry is more popular because he done it with flash but flash don't win championships. While Barry wus playing "hey, see if u can grab my nutz while I have a football n my arms" Emmitt Smith wus the workhorse back who carried the cowboys in the super bowl years and well deserved to be the all time leading rushing yards leader and TD scorer
Barry no one could catch in the open field and wus elusive but not effective enough to be successful because he ran backwards too much Emmitt could run ppl over and break tackles and carry defensive lineman 10 yards on his back guys twice his size couldn't bring Emmitt down. Emmitt Smith wus slower than Barry but much stronger legs than Barry
All this Emmitt hate. Funny how Washington, Miami, and the Giants had a great O Lines but none of their RBs got 18,000 yards.
Nate Newton was elite, but the others guys fit well with Emmitt. Just hit someone and let Emmitt do the rest. Their center said that at one point.
@@michaelschaefer1904 That's what O Lines are supposed to do
Haters will always hate. And the cowboys haters will always play the wut if Barry never quit card
nite train lane 14 pix in a season
nevermind the west coasr offence was the biggesst advantage rice needede. the very first topo run it
All records are made to be
broken",aka Jim Brown"
I guess Brady won't beat Blanda's record after all
BB will break Don Shula record soon
Did this video REALLY say that Rice didn't have great QB play? DAFUQ?
Lol I was thinking the same thing
Bosa almost broke the season sac rec with 18.5 sacs. This record is most likely to be broken 1st. Go 9ers
22.5 is the record. That isn't almost.
Emmit Smith is overrated. He took that record because Barry Sanders respected Payton so much he did t want to break it. And Payton nor Sanders had the teams Smith had and still were more dominant runners. If they had a team like the 90s Cowboys, specifically their offensive line, they would've set records no one would have even come close to. Payton is still the most complete runner in history, Sanders was the most dynamic.
