The fact that this list doesn't include Fred Taylor as top 50 to get in the HoF it's a joke. He will rush for 10,000 yards this season [/ QUOTE ] That would be one heck of a season. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Oh and Strahan not being a top 10 is a joke as well. [/ QUOTE ] He's never been in the top 5 in rushing yards, and has only been top 10 four times. No real post-season success, no pro-bowl appearances, and he's only got 300 carries once in his career. [/ QUOTE ] The fact that he is approaching a number that only a handful of players have reached and I believe has 3 years left on his legs behind a good O-line with Jones/Jones-Drew supporting him in the backfield doesn't put him as a top 50 player right now to get in the hall. Adrian Peterson is a better choice? Reggie Bush?

Well, Fred Taylor has no chance. Reggie Bush and Adrian Peterson at least have chances.

I wish he played in another market other than Jacksonville due to how great of a back he is. Hitting his prime for a team that was 6-10 and still hitting numbers like 1314 and 1572. I just hope that he gets the chance to hit 10k in Jax so it can be appreciated.

They want players who were top players at their position for a couple of years. Fred Taylor, due to injury, really has never been a consistant top 5 or even top 10 back in the NFL. Yes he might be close to 10k yards but to the NFL HOF it doesn't matter. You must remember Art Monk isn't in the HOF and he is like #6 all-time in reps and #11 all-time in catches. Do you think Corey Dillon #14 all-time in Yards Rushing is a lock? How bout Tiki? Do you think Ahman Green (#28) has any chance? Or Warrick Dunn. Tiki probally has the best chance of all 4 and that's b/c of his outstanding final 3 seasons in the NFL. The fact of the matter is the upside of Bush gives him an honest shot to make the HOF. Fred Taylor's good but not amazing years are going to make it tough for him to get in.
