That has more to do with his having a average offensive line than his GOAT worthiness. He has the most 75 yard plus rushes in league history, had a over 2,000 yard season, 99 touchdowns ,even though he was taken out of the game in goaline situations..if he would have run behind the O-line that Emmit Smith ran behind ,he probibly would have averaged 1750 yards a season. Oh, and his average yards per game is second all time, behind only Jim Brown, even with over 1,000 negative yards. Not to mention he was the most exciting runner in the history of the game. Ask Rod Woodson how it was to try and tackle Barry, Rod tore his ACL without Barry hitting him.
