Good, Emmitt should have reitred about 3 years ago. But sadly, I believe he stayed for the record and than to put it out of reach. Great RB but not close to Top 5.
My Top 5
1) Walter Payton
2) Barry Sanders (would be no.1 if he stuck around)
3)Marcus Allen
4) Jim Brown
5) Eric Dickerson

I think I'd be bumping Allen a couple notches down that list, definitely behind James Brown. Allen had a great start to his career, and than was royally screwed over by the Raiders, but once he got to KC his best days physically were long behind him, and he wasn't capable of running for 1000 yards a season. Had the Raiders utilized him properly than yeah he could be a top 5 guy. But due to circumstances I'd take him off that list and replace him with Smith. Still Allen was a classy guy and I hope he does go into the Hall as a Chief just to annay Al Davis.
