Do you agree with the ranking?
- Thread starter VincePITT
- Start date
Whomever put that list together needs to be informed that Fred Mazurek was a quarterback, not a running back.
Also, why do they have a photo of Dorsett next to Elliott Walker's name?

I dunno exactly where Kevan Barlow truly deserves to be. But #5 is definitely not it.
And Ray Kirkley was a decent back, but not enough to deserve to be on the list twice.

Where is Marshall Goldberg? Best of all time? I'm old and never saw him play, but if you know Pitt history .....
I think the top 5 are Tony D., Marshall G., and the ‘Dream Backfield, Rick N.,except for T.D.,the rest of the boys played both ways.
I don't think you can expect people to vote on guys that played 80 years ago. It's not like anyone alive has seen them play. Right now the list has a top 10 of
1) TD
2) CMart
3) Shady
4) Heyward
5) Conner
6) Dion
7) Curvin Richards
8) Ray Graham
9) Barlow
10) Ollison
Billy West is at 11. Hard to argue against that list if you forget about the old guys nobody saw play.

That would still be a bad list. Curtis Martin had a great pro career, but he was always hurt at Pitt. He simply does not belong at number two on that list. I would put him in the top 10 because when he did play he was terrific, but he was definitely not the second (or third) best Pitt RB I’ve ever seen.
Wrong about 3-4 long TD runs accounting for most of his yards. He has home run ability but clearly he broke tackles as the stat below proves.

give it a shot...I did found it not to be that far off the mark...btw, they did not stipulate only their time at Pitt as the only consideration...

It's not some static list that one person put together, rather, it's a fluid list that viewers can affect the order by voting.
Yup... Finished in the top three in the Heisman voting twice, including runner up...
I agree. Martin had a great pro career, but Conner absolutely was more productive in college. McCoy too, even for only 2 years.
I’d go..
1. Dorsett
2. Conner
3. McCoy
4. Heyward
5. Martin
I might be underranking Iron Head. He was a Heisman finalist for goodness sakes!
Ok, you take issue with one. Also, I didn't interpret it solely as during their time at Pitt.
