Emmit Smith is the best example of durability and consistency with any running back in the history of the NFL. He isn't the best running back, and no one would ever try to tell people he was, but he showed longevity in a position which eats up players in a few good years.

In college Emmit Smith was exactly the same as Mark Ingram. I've probably heard that comparison made by commentators half a dozen times this season, and i agree with it.

My original comment was made based on the dominance of the game Emmit showed in College while at UF, this does not reflect or have much to do with his NFL Career. Just because a RB dominates in collegiate play doesn't necessarily mean he will enjoy sustained success in the NFL. (Example: Reggie Bush)

I throw that question out every time someone mentions Emmit and that sir, is by far the best response anyone has ever given... Kudos... and I agree with all of it... It's a rhetorical question and my delivery usually puts people on the defensive, and as I mentioned, I am a Dallas fan... just like to see whats out there...I'm not stirring any pot, I just like the discussion...

thanks, great response...
