Voting closed. Vote for RB #8 here.
RB #1: Jim Brown 48.5% of the vote.
RB #2: Walter Payton 41.7% of the vote.
RB #3: Barry Sanders 70.6% of the vote.
RB #4: OJ Simpson 27.4% of the vote.
RB #5(tie): Marshall Faulk 25.2% of the vote.
RB #5(tie): Emmitt Smith 25.2% of the vote.
RB #7: Eric Dickerson 41.0% of the vote.
Time to settle who are the top 10 running backs of all time. The first poll is to vote for the #1 RB of all time. The second poll is to pick the player who didn't make the list of candidates this time but who should be included in the list for the next slot.
I've googled about 20 all time top ten lists and chose 14 of the players listed most often, and included Adrian Peterson as the active back I thought most likely to get votes somewhere in the top ten.

----------------------------------------I also grabbed some RBs who didn't make the list this time, but maybe should be included for voting of later slots. The second poll is decide which one of these RBs gets promoted to the main list next time. If there is someone you think actually belongs in the top ten list who isn't in either list, please post them.
