So glad Larry Allen was fortunate to have John Madden commentating that game vs the Colts...here is Joe Buck’s analysis: “Emmett Smith.... touchdown... no flags”.

[@Gamer2k4]

To be fair, Buck is a play-by-play announcer (the equivalent of Pat Summerall here), while Madden is a color commentator.

Madden will never be surpassed. He called tons of plays on the air before they happened by just looking at teams formations. That's awesome skill.

How many mention an increase in the number of water buckets on a side line? He was into all the things.

He was a shell of himself with the Broncos. Had less arm strength. He got by with his usual genius playcalling at the line of scrimmage and short passing. Wasn't going deep like he was with Wayne, Stokely, and Harrison.

[@jackyoung9731]

Jon M he never had the strongest arm though he lived off deadly accuracy and being basically a coordinator at the line. So when he lost a lot of his arm it didn't matter because he never had a cannon. That's why he put up the best numbers of his career and arguably the best statistical 3 year stretch in NFL history from 12-14

[@jonmolina948]

Still think his best season was 2004. 49 TD's on much less attempts and more yards/completion . He completed 114 more passes when he threw his 55 TD's in Denver, totaling 450. Could you imagine if had completed 450 attempts with the Colts and their better wideouts.

[@shooter7426]

Solgriz i believe he was making another "business decision" just like he did in the Super Bowl

[@22steve5150]

He had screwed up the toe on his lead foot, bad enough that he eventually needed surgery, the thing with that is it directly affects your ability to push off with your foot and accelerate, so when he slowed down and bit on the feint (turning his body inside in anticipation of a short in route or hook), he was screwed because he couldn't turn around and accelerate back to full speed fast enough to keep pace with a very young Marvin Harrison.

The only lineman that was really good in 1996-2004 was Larry Allen but that's one man. But yet Emmitt was still rushing over 1k every year. In fact in 2000 they got Troy Aikman killed and even tore up Randall Cunningham and he was a scrambler. It didn't stop Emmitt from have another 1k season. So, Emmitt deserves more respect than he gets.
