Augie Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 He’d stand a better chance if he'd played on a great team and had more personal and post season success. He needs to stay healthy a few more years. I admit I didn’t click the link, but I am curious how his numbers stack up. Chalk one ignorant post up to pure laziness, while just going by instinct. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 13,740 yards from scrimmage , ahead of OJ Simpson and just behind Adrian Peterson If he gets 1100 more yards from scrimmage this year he becomes just the 11th player to reach 1100 scrimmage yards 9 or more times one of quickest players to 10,000 rushings yards by carries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 He's got the numbers, although a couple thousand more yards and some playoff wins wouldn't hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbillsfan2206 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Depends on how much longer he plays. Running backs have a much shorter career than most other positions. They take a beating and usually hit a wall around 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) One more year like last year (plus a little change as he slows down for a year or two), and I say he’s in. Now, how are those hammie’s feeling? Edited June 4, 2018 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 He is not there yet imo. A couple more good years and he should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, how are those hammie’s feeling? Some styles tend to hold up better than others. Compared to other bigger hulking backs Shady takes fewer big shots and still is super quick his game isnt about speed, it’s about his vision/quickness which he still will have for a few more years who knows how he is in 3 years though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammie’s and lingering injuries are his kryptonite. He can’t afford to lose big chunks of seasons, for multiple reasons! This is the age where that can happen more and more. Fingers crossed! I hope he’s eating his kale. (Blech!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Two more 1,000 yard seasons puts him in the top 15 rushing yards of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Not yet, talk to me in 3 more years then maybe. Definitely within the realm of possibility but as of now, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It’s going to be really difficult/impossible for him to put up the necessary numbers with this team imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 When he is all done I think he will be in HOF Top 10 in rushing yards Top 10 in receptions by RB Top 15 rush TD Top 10 in Y/A Top 15 receiving yards by RB These should be attainable for him.

The flip side is they are going to be very reliant upon him. Could be big numbers. He is THE weapon as long as he’s healthy. Yes, other teams will focus on him. We’ll see..... STAY HEALTHY! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I say we DON’T get him in space and run him till he pukes. That didn’t seem to work. Let’s just play football and be good. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The criteria sports writers use to evaluate a player's career are silly. A great player might never play on a great team. That's not his fault. His accomplishments should be be given MORE weight if his team doesn't make the playoffs consistently, because it indicates he's not riding on someone else's abilities to get things done.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 If he finishes his career strong then most definitely. Right now not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 He needs a couple more years but since by his admission he adopted regular and hot yoga, which is awesome for increasing flexibility and functional strength with you’re small muscles not achieved by traditional lifting and running, I can see him continuing to play. i see him on the way and this team needs to rely on him as we don’t have stud WR and TE so he will continue to rack up the numbers. So many people are writing off our chances this year, and I still believe we can be solid. Hopefully another wild card spot, and next year we have with the way the cap has increased will mean $100 million in space to retain the studs and buy some key players on top of the draft. that could turn into three playoff appearances or hopefully some wins. We’ll see. As fans we’re so beaten down with a 17 year drought many of us can’t see the plan and talent in the. Mgmt and coaching which is helping in sound decision making. The worst thing that. Could happen is to lose these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 He's not far off. Another couple seasons over 1,000 yards and his usual impact in the passing game, he's in. If he retired tomorrow I think he still might get in but it would be a longish wait. I'm just glad he wound up with the Bills. High end, elite, rare talent is a beautiful thing to watch.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 When healthy the past few years he was the most talented player on the field. A few more solid seasons and he is a HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
