Cannibal's take is moronic. Curtis Martin was not as allusive or fast as Smith. Watch some highlights of both players. It isn't even close.
Now go to the stats. For five seasons from 1991 to 1995, the minimum yards Smith gained in each season was 1484. In comparison, Priest Holmes, also running behind a great line, had a great three year stretch where his minimum season was 1420 yards. So compared to another great back running behind another great line, Smith was better and more durable. Now consider that if you throw out Smith's best five years (yardage equivalent to Earl Campbell's career) he's still one of the top 25 yardage leaders of all time. Smith was great and durable.
