Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor are the 2 best football players I ever seen. Dominance does not come close to fully describe their impact. Brown was also a great man fighting for equality and civil rights. A great American

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Agree 100%. The degree of dominance might be subjective for each person but the fact of dominance is objective. The degree to which Jim Brown & Lawrence Taylor were dominant echoes through the history of the NFL. Like Michael Lombardi says, not all gold jackets are the same.

[@aubreysteele4466]

I've been watching pro football for almost sixty years. In that time I've seen Gale Sayers, the Juice, Walter, Tomlinson, and of course, Barry Sanders, all of them with immense skill at running with the ball. Most of them have exceeded Brown's totals. My opinion, which is really worth nothing in the scheme of things, is that Barry had the most skill. He was absolutely breathtaking. There are a couple of things that aren't pointed out about the latter guys, though. As good as they were, they weren't that much better than their peers. Jim Brown was. One account has it that fans of opposing teams would get to their feet just to watch him warm up for the coming game. How is that for recognition? Another important aspect of the game is FEAR. There have been a good number of defensive players that brought fear to the offense they were playing against-Doug Adkins, Deacon Jones, Dick Butkus, and of course Lawrence Taylor, to mention a few. There has been only one offensive player to bring fear to his opponents and that was Jim Brown. Closing with an amusing anecdote. The Green Bay great defensive end, Willie Davis, while being interviewed, stated something like this: all of the running backs that he saw, even the big and fast ones didn't like to get hit-they accepted it as just part of the game. When he first saw Jim Brown, his impression was "This guy looks like he wants to kick somebody's a$$." Jim Brown GOAT.

His team opened up holes in the front seven, offering him the ability to shuck off smaller men in the secondary. Barry had defenders in the BACKFIELD by the time he touched the ball.

Brown was not involved in March is he was not involved in protest he did not stand with dr. King he did not talk about the Legacy slavery and sharecropping and Jim Crow and all the other terrible burdens and difficulties that we're facing country.

But what has brown done except carry the football? What would he have been if he had not been a football player?
