Thurman was great but playing in same time as Barry and Emmitt definitely makes it harder to see it. Toss in he had Kenny Davis steal some of his carries. I mean I can't even name Sanders' or Smith's backups were. That said I place guys like Curtis Martin, Marcus Allen, Faulk, Tomlinson, Terrell Davis and many above him. He's maybe in top 20-25 of all time IMO.
