Barry Sanders' Madden NFL 13 Ratings Revealed

[jjsmitty34]

Barry is a classy guy, never spiked the ball and always handed it to the ref.

He makes for a great interview, he had me chuckling a couple times. "It wasn't that I couldn't truck guys, I just chose not to" hehe Great sport.

As a Cowboys fan, there is no way Emmitt was better than Barry. Not even close. Emmitt was a benefactor of one of the greatest offensive lines, other weapons on offense, and just sheer volume of carries over his career. Emmitt was great, Barry was better.

I'm gonna put him on the Packers!

Barry Sanders:
1800 yd from scrimmage per yr
5.0 Y/C
99.8 Y/Game
9.9 rush TD/yr
0.67 rec TD/yr

Walter Payton:
1635 yd from scrim per year
4.4 Y/C
88 Y/Game
8.4 rush TD/yr
1.1 rec TD/yr

Emmitt Smith
1436 yds from scrimmage per year
4.2 Y/C
81.2 Y/Game
10.9 rush TD/yr
0.73 rec TD/yr

Jim Brown (normalized for a 16-game season by taking his per game rate * 16)
1880 yards from scrimmage per year
5.2 Y/C
104.3 Y/Game
13.4 rush TD/yr

IMO, I would only consider Jim Brown overall better. Emmitt had great durability, though, that was his #1 asset, imo.

^^^ Oh yeah, Jim Brown is by far the best running back of all time.



I don't see the point in having him in the game since he's not gonna move like Barry did in real life. You might as well just rename Reggie Bush to Barry Sanders and call it a day.
