tough question. I look back at all the talented and storied backs of the past, and a lot of names come to mind, many mentioned here already. I remember watching Bo, Barry, Sweetness, OJ, Dickerson, and many others grind it out on sundays. Hands down Sanders was the better back. I have to agree with Nikilidstrom on this one. If Barry had the line that Emmit had enjoyed for so many years, his numbers would have been absolutly staggering. To do what he did with the personel around him is a testament to his talent and skill.
Today, there are many running backs that have the talent, vison, and drive to be the next great back, but with the way the game is today, will such a back really emerge? free agency has, for the most part, killed team continutity, and forced many potentaly great players to go from 1-2 good seasons, to mediocere, due to changes in personel that u wouldn't have seen 10 years and more ago.
but i ramble. most explosive back today? Gotta say ricky, tho i think Marshal is a better back all around.
