DisplacedBillsFan Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 6 hours ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: Mcgahee ended up with borderline HoF numbers. Absolutely. I guess I replied more on the thread title of what talented players did we completely waste here, as opposed to the OP's description asking which players didn't receive enough fame/recognition.

klos63 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Jairus Byrd- he was a dynamic player on the level of Ed Reed for most of his 5 years with the Bills. I thought he was on his way to a HOF career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Pro Football Reference, McCoy's top comparables: Delvin Williams, Terry Metcalf, Wendell Tyler, Joe Cribbs, Chris Warren, Curt Warner, John Brockington, Sam Cunningham, Paul Lowe, Sherman Smith Fine running backs, all of them. Not a Hall of Famer to be found among them. Not even really a good argument to be made for any of them. When it's all said and done, he likely finishes top 20 all time for rushing yards. Of all time players there, only 4 are not in the hall of fame. Three of them will be: Frank Gore, AP, and Steven Jackson. Among the top 20 rushers of all time, only 2 have better ypc. Ummmmm, not a really good argument though? One of the most efficient and productive RBs of all time. That's a pretty good argument. If 29 year old shady plays for 3 more years, he doesn't even need to have great seasons (around 800-900 yards a year) to pass Thurman's and OJs rushing yards mark and could possibly vault him into the top ten. I'm all for a discussion, but I don't think both sides have a good argument here, you are siting running backs with less than 5,000 career rushing yards in 8-9 years of playing, maybe you need to use a better reference: did you just Google "RBs similar to LeSean McCoy" and post every name that came up to try and look like you know what your talking about?
