   if it wasn’t for barry the lions would have sucked as bad when he was tere as they do now, although they are making some positive moves in this off season, but we’ll see.

   Barry Sanders is the ONLY bright spot us Lion’s fans have had since winning the NFL Championship in 1957.He was a crucial part of our ONLY playoff win since that ’57 Championship.Thats ONLY 1 playoff victory in 53 years,but we have had 9 LOSSES.Still,ONLY 10 playoff appearances in 53 years is far beyond pathetic.wcf you are the most incompetant owner of any major sports organization in the world.

   In my hours of voting; Barry came up less than eight other Lions; only Bobby Lane (actually a Bear), H. Walker and Joe Schmidt came up less often than Barry.

   They may have had some behind the scene logic; like if Barry to 95% + of the votes than it counted for two or three votes. Only one player beat Barry head to head; Jerry Rice.

   Way to go Barry!

   Go Lions!

   Barry Sanders in my mind will always be the best player the lions ever had.

   Barry is the #1 pick the Lions ever made. There may not ever be another running back that had the effect Barry had with the Lions. I miss those days.

    this list is absurd.

    where’s johnny unitas? he was drafted very low.

    why is terry bradshaw on this list? he was worth taking, even at #1 overall, but that doesnt mean he was one of the top 20 best values ever.

    if johnny U was taken so low, and bradshaw was taken so high, and yet bradshaw is here but johnny U isnt then can we conclude that bradshaw was better–far better–than johnny U? ridiculous.

    I wish that I was going to comment on this voting situation, However I’m still turning in votes.
    Well back to what I really want to talk about. The draft Of coarse.
    Well, Most of the Time I would probably go ahead and say to take a LT or something for the O-LINE. However this year I’m not.
    I really believe that we can Take Suh with the first of our picks and still get a talemted OT If we want to. There is a Really good LT comming out of usc that they are comparing to Okung.I wish that I could remember his Name. I know that he is alittle bigger than Okung. BUT, just as powerful. He does Need a little work around the edges BUT? YOU know.
    I also believe that this guy might be there in the later Rounds.
    That way we can go for a RB or CB or Safety. with the second pick (our 2nd pick no.34)
    It Looks like Javid Best might be there to take.
    If NOT there is a lot of the draft experts giving the Idea that Toby Gerhart would be a very go FB to take in the later Rounds.
    Iwish that I was More excited about this Draft.
    I am VERY excited about the way that FA went and relize that we picked up some really great Talent there and I am really excited to see how these guy’s do for us in the Regular Season.
    However even thoughI believe that I would like to see us take Suh I would also like it if we found a way to get some more picks also.
    I really believe that Taking suh though will make our D-Fence the Strongest D-fence in the League. Maybe not right out of the box BUT, very soon after.
    And I am still not forgetting about the FB position and that isn’t even got to do with Toby Gerhart. It just has to do with the blocking situation.
    Allthough they say that Toby can do it all.
    Ireally like the Conners kid from Kentucky too.
    Jerome Felton would be great on his own if he would just start Blocking when he is supposed to. However I have been watching and waiting for him to step up into that role and he just doesn’t seem to get it or want to? He is great at everything else. He may be a little better at the passing game than the running game though? He really hasn’t moved the ball on the ground very well.
    Well, He can catch the ball.
    anyways I know you guy’s will do great in the draft and I’m hoping that the right men will be there for us when it is our time to pick.
    And I’m hoping that you know who they ar when it is time to take them.
    LIONS!

    Barry Sanders – best ever Lion? Hmm…

    Gotta remember; the Lions had Four Hall of Famer Defensive backs that STILL rank in Top 15 pass intercepters to this day.

    Plenty of our Hall of Famers came before most fans were born so tough to say Best Ever Lion.

    Best Ever Running Back for Lions – Easy – but Lion player; now you are weighing RB vs Bobby Lane QB and every other position.

    I think Barry was the best thing the Lions ever hsd. I’m glad that I got to see him playing for my beloved Lions! They’re moving in the right direction it seems. I guess we’ll see.

    This list is in no way legit.Barry is the best draft pick ever.The whole time I voted I only had Barry come up once.I voted for a long time too.till I realized Barry wasnt coming up enough and I was only boosting other peoples value over the 1 who really deserved the credit.But we dont need a rigged election to say who is the best the proof is on every highlight and in the hall of fame.Numbers mean nothing there will never be another talent to match his.

    If Barry Sanders ran behind the same Oline Emmitt Smith ran behind, Barry would have had 20,000 in 12 or 13 years. Remmber Detroits Oline was so bad Barry lost alot of yards. And they couldn’t open holes at the goal line.

    Barry Sanders was truly in a class of his own, not even debatable…. That got me to thinking about having Barry, maybe throw in Lomas Brown and Kevin Glover on this 2010 team. With Staff, CJ, and our improved D-Line, the Lions would be a scary team every Sunday. Since it’s my fantasy, I’m going to pick up one of my all time favorites, Lem Barney, to play CB and return punts…… We have had plenty of down years this decade, but I can look back to those great players, and also look ahead because our Lions are situated to have some good years in the not to distant future……..Its going to get better every year…..
