IMO, it's not even close and I'm not sure why Brown is ranked as the highest RB (Smith, Tomlinson for sure and even Peyton or Sanders are in the conversation) let alone that high at all.


Edit: It should be noted my comment isn't that Rice is the greatest all time, it's simply that he's significantly better than Jim Brown. IMO, Jim Brown doesn't make the top 10.
I don't get that part. You say Tomlinson and Smith for sure and yet Walter Payton only as a maybe? Walter Payton was better then both the first two you mentioned.
