Yeah, I remember Curt Warner. He played in 3 Pro Bowls but is only 43rd all time in rushing. No reason for him to be discussed on this list.

Yeah, considering I never heard of him despite sharing a name with a present QB, then he should not be mentioned here.

Another thing about Jim Brown also is that he didnt pass block. Payton was probably a better pass blocker than a runningback. He seriously could just do it all.

Barry Sanders, and it's not even close.

Get yourself some old tapes of Jim Brown and try to defend that claim. Not only was he a great blocker, he often would appear downfield leading the blocking for the wide receivers. Don't get me wrong - Payton was a fantastic player. It is still Jim Brown, then everyone else.

Sorry, but I dont own any Cleveland Browns tapes from the 1950's and 60's but I have had many Cleveland fans tell me that he was the best runningback ever but then also tell me at the same time that he never pass blocked. If I see some tapes that will prove me wrong then I'll say he pass blocked. But when Browns fans who loved Jim Brown tell me he didnt pass block, then I'm going to believe them.

I've heard it on those NFL films specials that Brown didn't pass block. Although Payton was a great pass blocker, I still think that Brown is better. If I ever find evidence I'll post it here.
