If you give Emmitt the training, nutrition, supplements, medical care and money that these guys make today he's as good or better than any of them. It's not a talent gap as much as it is the resources these guys today have far outweigh anything they had back then. Most of those guys had to have offseason jobs to make ends meet. All these guys have is football and training for football.
