I think it's a good move...

[ERA]

Overdue.

This man is so good he shouldnt have to wait 5 years!

[swanson71]

I think he should have stayed about 2 more years...Because 16,900 more yards he would have had 20,000 yards rushing for a carreer...and I believe was about 35 short of 200 touchdowns...if he would have stayed about 2 more years he could have done those 2 things...if he run like this last season...

What a career!

937 yards last season? Heck no, he shouldn't retire. If he loves the game, he should stay. He still gives 100%, and we all know that he will enter the Hall of Fame as a Dallas Cowboy!!! Emmitt is a class act and his work ethic is amazing.

 

In fact, if Jerry Jones had've gotten his head/ego out of his rear that last year Emmitt was in Dallas, Emmitt would've had another 1,000 yard rushing season that year. Instead, Jerry thought Troy Hambrick was the superior back. Puh-leeze. We know how that ended.

Well...I see this morning that it is indeed official that Emmitt is indeed retiring after 15 great years. What a career....

[gotmilk?]

I would have loved to see him get 1700 more rushing yards though and break 20,000 for a career!

 

 

Emmitt Smith is the NFL's all-time leading rusher with 18,355 yards. Which active running back is most likely to catch him?

 

Curtis Martin

Age: 31. Yards: 13,366

 

Marshall Faulk

Age: 31. Yards: 11,987

 

Edgerrin James

Age: 26. Yards: 7,720

 

LaDainian Tomlinson

Age: 25. Yards: 5,899

 

Clinton Portis

Age: 23. Yards: 4,414

[treefitty74]

Ladanian and Curtis Martin....I think have the best chance to get to the milestone..
