[QUOTE=DDNYjets;4501717]That record is going to be one of the harder ones to break. Its very rare for one back to get all the carries in an offense anymore. And even if they did, they would need to stay healthy and do it for a long time.
I always thought Curtis had an outside chance of passing Payton, but his body finally gave way. Then I thought LT was going to be a lock to break it and all of a sudden he hit a wall.
But if you look. Both Curtis and LT only played 11 season a piece. While Smith played 15 and Payton played 13. The guy who really jumps out is Barry Sanders who only played 10 years and left when he had plenty left in the tank.

To me compiled yardage like Emmitt has isn't impressive but his 164 rushing tds is.. Same with LT with his 145 rushing tds with over 1200 less carries then Emmitt..
