no words can describe the way Barry ran, and no Lions fan will ever forget the excitement he brought to the game

Honestly I don't see why he is so low. I would've said top ten easy. I realize I am biased, but come on! What RB goes ahead of Barry? I mean the only one not listed that I believe there is a legit argument for may be Sweetness. I'm anxious to see the rest of this list.

Gotta agree. Barry's in the top 3 or 4 RBs all time, with Payton, Emmitt, and maybe Jim Brown.

Honestly, I think those guys right there are the top four RB's of all time, and of those guys, Barry was the most fun to watch.  I still remember him turning a Patriots defender inside-out with two juke moves.  One of the coolest plays I've ever seen.

personally I'm happy with #17 ..... look at all the great players that were listed below him, I'm sorta suprised he ranked as high as he did

hundreds of great players over the past 100 years, and to break the Top 20 is amazing in my books

can't wait to watch the highlights tonight on NFLNetwork

Couldnt agree with you more jasonruback + 100000000000 times.........

I think the people who came up with this order are on some serious drugs or something... Barry is in NO WAY below top 5 in my mind. I have seen him turn players inside out. and then back again..

I was NEVER a Lions fan-but I was a Barry fan. But, geeze, his yds lost was amazing too! Remember he is #1 in negative yardage in his career. He was like a little pinball machine-so awesome to watch, such class & character too. I'm hoping his son (unlike Jarrett Payton) has the moves to be great as well. Time will tell...

yea, the thing about his backward runs is, he could make a three yard loss last 30 seconds lol. some of his losses were more amazing than alot of peoples gains!

Thanks for the video link Kelly, Some really great stuff in there. I knew he had a lot of runs for negative yards but NOT that many LOL!  Could you imagine how many negative yards he would have if he didn't quit when he did,HAHA!!!  Now after seeing that I'm not so sure if he would have broke Payton's record after all.
