eh guys, no-one gets into the HOF for having 3 good years, unless all three of them end in rings.

two of them for one of the players ended in rings, a superbowl mvp, off player of the year (2), and one mvp.

the other back got mvp and off player of the year once I believe.

One them is also one of eleven to ever rush for 1,500 yards three times, and one of six to run for 2,000 yards.

Terrell Davis is RB#1. I figured that from the OP's screen name. Checked the stats and they match. The only argument he has is Gayle Sears, and even that isn't a strong one. I don't think TD deserves induction either. He only has 2 rings during that 3 year period :D. If he gets inducted it will be because of where he works, not by evaluation against his peers. I would hate if that happened.

What we got here fellas is a Denver fanboy.

I just looked at the #'s to figure it out ... that many yards and we're questioning. I think TD might get in, but he'll have to wait until he's veteran's committee eligible.

We are arguing which of two rbs deserve to be in the HOF more, here are numbers based on their best three years. The rbs will not be named due to bias reasons

RB #1

1,106 carries, 5,296 yards, 4.8 ypc, 49 tds

Playoffs:

1,140 yds, 12 tds, 5.6 ypc in 8 games

RB #2

1,059 carries, 4,960 yards, 4.7 ypc, 60 tds

Playoffs: 355 yds, 4 tds, 3.9 ypc in 5 games

What do you guys think...?

If one goes on stats alone,then #1 looks better on paper.The deciding factors would be the type teams they played on and how important they were to the overall success of those teams.

Without the players or teams names,the best player would be hard to determine.

I am not a Denver fan boy lol. I wanted Cutler back when they were offering him, thats about the only connection I have to Denver, I am on Denvers forum sometimes, but I am also on a lot of other teams forums as well.

I just think he should be in

Bottom line is that HOF usually revolves around longevity and consistency over time, superbowl wins/rings/MVPs etc. So three years won't get you in but 10 years over 1000 yards might especially if you mixed in a few Super Bowl wins, a couple probowls, All-pro designation etc. Given the average life for a running back is 5 years or less, a HOF has to beat the odds and stand out for a consistent time.

Terrel Davis only rushed for 7607 yards and lasted 7 years. And really after 1998 he was done which means he had 4 really good years. He had some spectacular years but didn't last long. He will likely get into the hall of fame based on those years but injuries really hurt his career which is why he was only a semifinalist in 2007 which was his first shot at induction. He is a finalist in 2010 and might make it but it is always up to who else is in the running. If Sharpe gets in that might mean Davis has to wait a bit longer if at all.

In my opinion, YPC is the best way to measure a RB - so RB # 1 would have it in this comparison, but the HOF is about much more than just stats (which is as it should be in some cases) otherwise Art Monk would have been inducted on the 1st ballot.

I agree 100%. Most people try to make arguments saying guys like Thomas Jones and Michael Turner are better than guys like D-Lo and CJ. But if you look at YPC, it's quite obvious that it doesn't actually matter how many total yards you have if you can't produce a big YPC number.

If you get 100 more carries than another guy, you're obviously gonna end up with more yards. But it doesn't mean you're more productive.

18 playoff touchdowns trumps 4, imo. Based on just the stats you provided, I'd say #1 is better than #2. Not saying either is HoF worthy, but in a straight up comparison, the playoff stats leading to winning playoff games is the only thing you should worry over.

      2026 Charlotte FC Thread

      Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.

      No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.

      Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
