| SI is way off if they include Chris Johnson but not Shaun Alexander (7th all-time rushing TDs, 27th all-time rushing yds). Other notable omissions: HOFer John Riggins, future HOFer Jerome Bettis (who is 5th in all-time rushing yds) and Eddie George. Also, if you're including players on the basis of a few great seasons (Bo Jackson, Terrell Davis, Priest Holmes, Chris Johnson), how do you exclude Tiki Barber (3 straight 2000 yd rush/receiving seasons to finish his career)? Craziness. Then there's the actual ranking of players that are on the list. Marcus Allen, great as he was, only rushed for 1,000 yds in 3 out of his 16 seasons. How do you rank him 11 spots ahead of Curtis Martin, who surpassed 1,000 yds IN EVERY SEASON BUT HIS LAST (that's right, 10 out of 11 seasons)? If you say, "Well he got 123 rushing TDs," then doesn't it follow Shaun Alexander's 100 rushing TDs (over only 8 years) should warrant inclusion on the list? Poor list bottom line. |
