Barry Sanders

I was watching a ESPN Sports Century bit on him, and i just think that it was a shame that he retired at such an early stage in his career. He was, according to his average rushing yards per year, a SEASON away from breaking Walter Peyton's rushing record. I remember watching the man play on sunday's and would just think to myself, "This guy plays like a kid on the playground playing tag...can't nobody get him!"

But of course, no disrespect RDD, but he played with the Lions when the lions weren't that team to brag about. He basically got tired of losing and, i think, wanted to be traded but was told he was "untradeable".

What are your feelings about Barry? Do you think that he did the right thing when retiring? Should he have stayed in college for his 4 full years? You never know. I mean one thing different could have altered his career.
