He played with much weaker equipment, and those hits were a lot harder. He had to deal with Sam Huff, guys like that. It was so different, yeah, but the difference is that Jim Brown played better in a tougher era, today he would average about 6 yards a carry and he smoke the record books. JB is the best, no discussion. Reggie Bush plays college, you really think he's going to be as good when he plays with the big boys? Seriously, that comment about Bush and Tomlinson is an insult to all the guys out there that are definetly better than Bush is, you ever heard of Shaun Alexander? He's way better than Bush, and he plays with the big leaguers. No disrespect to Bush, but he still has to prove himself in the NFL before he can be even mentioned with those guys, and to be mentioned with Jimmy is just not going to happen. Maybe in your world, but JB's just on a whole different planet, he was the best, even with the disadvantages that he had. Jim Brown> The NFL. JB's the best there ever was. It's like comparing Dan Marino with Matt Leinart. We all know who's the best.
