The greatest running back of all time is a modern running back, if that's what you are asking.
If we were to take every player in the NFL that played only before 1990. (so someone who's career ended in 1989-90), and I said "build me your best team". They could not stand up to any NFL team today.
Any team today would have offensive linemen that outweighed your defensive by 50-100 pounds, and be stronger and faster.
My defensive linemen would outweigh your offensive linemen, and be stronger and faster.
Your linebackers would be 180-200 pounds. Your defensive back would look like they were standing still. You just can't compare.
Video games are the same. You all love that game because of what it did for it's time. Not what it is today. Yea, I loved watching Dick Budkus play. But he was the meanest, biggest, toughest linebacker in the NFL, and he weighed 244 pounds. He was hitting QB's they weighed 190. I wonder what would have happened to him if he hit (or got hit), by donte culpepper who come in at 260 (and a lot faster and stronger).
