That's a nice career, but it's not a HOF career, in my opinion. Without the 2K yard season, he wouldn't even sniff Canton. I think it was a horrible move to vote him in. But, then again, Joe Namath shouldn't be in, either, so I guess Canton's been watered down for a long time. 8 playoff games and 1,140 rushing yards and 12 TDs (plus a SB MVP). That's not a small sample size, and the numbers are staggering. Those games were against the best competition too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that it was a short career but he was a dominant, game changer. That’s what a HOF should be in my mind. Not this generation’s Wayne Chrebet playing with the best qb ever. I don't recall ever thinking TD was a top 5 all-time RB. I think top 20 might even be a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go on about why he is in the HOF, but I’ll just sum it up in ome sentence: Joe Namath is in the HOF because voters of that era understood the difference between being a passer and being a quarterback especially in an era where QBs called their own plays.

Barry Sanders, the best rb I ever say play, never had that good of a stretch. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SandBa00.htm personally, I think the HOF is for guys that dominate like TD instead of guys like JE (product of a great situation where many other players would excel) or a guy who plays forever and pass stats. JMO though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 No. Hall of very good. One of the best slots I have seen. Would take him over Welker in a heartbeat and he always shows up in the clutch. But I don't think he is quite HoF calibre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t compare eras in football, so much has changed over each decade. rules and QB protection and medical advances to make a major 1968 knee injury seem like nothing the men competed on the field in their era under their rules and conditions and it can’t be translated into 40 years later by stats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
