Barry Sanders would have put that rushing record so far out in the stratosphere that Emmitt Smith could have retired with a little dignity. Unfortunately, the Lions stink.

Pro Football Weekly named Glover first team all conference 4 times, I'll take their opinion over that of the Pro Bowl which is just a popularity contest for offensive lineman.
And the reason those QBs you mentioned didn't do better is because they suck. The Jets had a better offensive line last year than the Lions ever did but it didn't stop Sanchez from sucking.
