My God...
Well, Barry didn't need good linemen. The CURRENT Lions have turnstiles for OL, but he'd still rush for 1500 yds/season. Very good, but not MVP numbers.
Jim Brown, he just ran over/under/around/through people. Best back ever, in my opinion. Would've EASILY broken Emmitt's records, seeing he led NFL in rushing 7 out of 8 seasons he played. With current Browns OL, especially Joe Thomas in there now, I'd say he'd be a year in year out MVP candidate a la LaDanian Tomlinson.

Not very good. Jim Brown is collecting Social Security and Barry Sanders is around 40, a little old for an NFL RB.

They would be terrilbe because Barry Sanders is 38 and Jim Brown is 71. Jim Brown would probably die trying to play and Barry Sanders would probably not be too productive.

Jim brown would be awesome. Barry sanders would be the same as you remember him. Look up a player named billy sims I think he was the best detroit lion running back of all time.

LT would be the Best still because of the talent around him followed by Brown then Sanders I think Sanders is the best but on the Lions he still wouldn't get 32 touchdowns or whatever LT got.

The Lions would kill almost any team in the NFL. That offense would score over 30ppg. Jim Brown would be a good back on a bad team. He would get about 1400 yards and 12 TD's

I consider you approximately Barry being the extra perfect of the two, yet you're way off on your chronology. Jack Ham and Jack Lambert on no account got here close to to enjoying while Barry did. Ham retired in '80 two, and Lambert did in '80 4. Barry did no longer play until '89.

Jim Brown was great but I don't know how he would do against the bigger more physical defenses of today. Barry would still be amazing.

Barry could probably still be pretty affective but Jim Brown, even though he looks good for his age would be able to take one hit and thats it.

Jim Brown is one of the most over rated players ever to play the game. He could not block a lick and by his own admission, he was not a team player and a racist
