Which RB had the best overall season? (1 Viewer)

[hitman2]

Not from a FF perspective, but overall.

State who, which year and why.

If I missed one, give the stats.

Note the games played for some.

Don't forget a Detroit Lengend, Billy Simms and his first two years in the NFL:

How about Sweetness?

[Mister CIA]

I'm pretty sure Jim Brown, 1963, is the correct answer.

He's like Babe Ruth, only Babe Ruth played baseball.

 

[Bri]

Can't comment on guys I didn't see or didn't see when they were a decent age Sweetness.

Dickerson or Barry would get my vote.

No rhyme or reason but Priest's is the strongest in recent memory

 

[diesel7982]

Can only comment from '95 on.

TD's 1998 season was the most dominant season Ive seen for a RB in my lifetime. He could have had 2500+ yards if not for Denver blowing out alot of teams at halftime. TD might have played 12 total games worth of quarters.

LJ's 2005 2nd half was the most dominant stretch of games Ive seen. Just amazing.
