To quote my dad: "Jimmy Johnson didn't do anything special. That team was so loaded with talent I could have coached them. I would have just said 'Welp, go get em.' then sat in a beach chair on the sideline and drank beer."

True. Look what Johnson did with the Dolphins.

Smith can't conjugate a verb, but he could run with the damn ball.
Smith was consistent, durable, and tough. He wasn't fast or huge, but he was shifty and he ran with purpose and knew how to finish runs. He may not have had the talent of some other HOF RB's, but he was a goddamn rock. I'm not a fan, but I'm not delusional either. |

And when he left, the team fell the **** apart after 1995. That team could have won 5 Super Bowls if Jerry hadn't been a moron. Read his book. The man is a genius motivator and cunning tactician.

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. |

Smith was great but Barry would have owned those records if he had had a line like Emmitt's or had not retired early. However, he didn't, so props to Emmitt.
