Speed, Power, Quickness, Vision, Moves, quick feet. Had it all. Holds Rookie Rushing Record with 1,808 yds in '83. Holds single season rushing record with 2,105 yds in '84. Holds single game playoff record with 248 yds in '85. All while playing with lousy QB's. 4 different QB's in LA and another 2 in Indy.

ED was like Secretariat - once he got out front you were toast. Sanders had the moves, Payton had the grace, Campbell had the power - ED had the speed - looked like he was playing by himself sometimes just blowing past evrybody

The other complete package is D. Henry for the Titans, I think. Check out his 99 yard run for a TD where he stiff arms everyone; he's like a Jim Brown on steroids, speed and power.

I followed him thru SMU (pony express) ED as a pure rb in the I formation i would take him over any back in NFL history ,rams had no qb just him and you knew what was coming and still couldnt stop him .

Fastest running back to reach 10,000 rushing yards in 91 games which is still an NFL Record. Eric Dickerson was always known to be fumble prone but he was feared as one of the most elite running backs in football because of his 6'3 frame. The combination of power, strength and speed being able to run graceful strides shows that defences weren't able to contain him.

Thank-you, Rick Darcy for calling Eric Dickerson the Greatest Running Back of All-Time! It's about time we have somebody that knows how to rank the best running backs. The three single season records you listed above are what I always mention to people when we have greatest running back of all-time arguments. Dickerson never even gets talked about in the top 5. Walter Payton once thanked Dickerson for going to the Colts. He told Dickerson that if he had stayed with the Rams he would have owned all the NFL records and told him the Rams messed up badly by trading him away! That was so true. Thanks Rick!

DeepH2Ov1 Thanks for viewing. Marcus spoke about Eric in the NFL all time list where Dickerson finished at #52. The vid was released by the NFL on June 12th and I included a link. Marcus told the story. Thanks!

rustyshadow7 I liked Earl Campbell, too. Prayers go out to Earl. He abused his body but was crazy good. We talk about Marshawn Lynch as being Beast Mode. Campbell makes Lynch look like child's play.

So Rick, its been a few weeks now. Did you care to include your analysis of ED's great year vs. OJ's great year? Just for fun we might also compare vs OJ's 1975 with 23 TDs and 1817 (129.8 per game, 5.5 per rush attempt). Btw - Love this vid! ED was a great runner!

ED could outrun defenders, make them miss and also run them over - with regularity. I would put Payton at the top of the list in terms of all-around play (he had 492 receptions and eight passing scores to complement his 16,726 rushing yards), but Dickerson's running ability stacks up with that of all the other greats.

I'm from Chicago seen Walter his whole career one the best of all time, but nobody ran the rock like E.D.. For him to be ranked at #52 is a crime he should be top 10 at the least. This man faced 8 and 9 man fronts and still set records, plus when Jeff Kemp and Dieter Brock is your staring QB's you should get extra points for that alone. One could only wonder had he stayed with the Rams what kind of numbers he would have finished with lets say maybe 22000 yards rushing. After he left Jim Everett improved with Henry Ellard and Flipper Anderson so you never know.

When I was in high school, Dickerson was the most dominate RB in the league. Guys wanted to Dickerson, talked Dickerson, he was their 1st pick in best players, etc. Kids around the country wanted to be Dickerson when they'd play. Incredible combination of vision, speed, power, and drive. He had a 4-year run that was just unreal, and several other fine seasons besides those.

From 1983_88 Eric Dickerson was the best RB in the NFL even better than Walter Payton yes i dared to say it but Payton had seen better days by then i always thought it was a stupid move him moving to the colts who were a piss poor team back then i was a huge step down from the Rams who were a very good team at the time they only real weakness was they lack of talent at QB Jim Everett being the best of a bad bunch he never looked the same player at the colts as he did at the rams even though he was still racking up 1000 yrd seasons he just didnt look like the best in the league anymore plus over the next few seasons Thurman Thomas Barry Saunders and eventually Emmitt Smith came along and outshone him but i often wonder what if the rams just paid him what he was worth what Eric Dickerson would we have seen when motivated playing for a far better team

strangewayshere Dickerson played well with the Colts. He'd have won every seasonal yardage record but he held out from the Rams for 2 games and then another season he was traded to Colts in mid-season. Nobody ran like Dickerson. For being 6'3" and easy to see but tough to catch. I liked Barry but he got lost in the line and D-Lines looked around for Barry thinking he was down and Barry would squirt through, make a jump cut, another jump cut and book down the field in this short legs. Barry was awesome but just not Dickerson via my eyes. We all see players differently and why debate and you tubes are fun to produce & have.

Grew up watching him run. It was almost a disappointment if he only gained 10 yards on a single play. Up there among the best ever. Definitely the best back in his era

Prime Dickerson is probably the most complete back in NFL history in my opinion. Fastet Running back to 10k yards. Anything beyond that is just longevity in my opinion.

Imagine the numbers on a team with a decent QB & WRs where Defenses couldn't stack 8 or even 9 in the box? Opposing teams knew Dickerson was getting the ball but still couldn't stop him. Had he stayed with LA, he would be the undisputed GOAT.

One of the most pretty runners too. My ideal backfield would be Larry Czonka at fullback, as a good extra blocker for Eric. I've have Devin Hester handle all punts and kickoffs.
