Mike Anderson in 14 Games rushed for 1487 yards and 15 TDs in 2000 with Gus Frerotte and Griese as QB.

Portis rushed well in the system.

So did Reuben.

Maybe they didn't get get 2000 yards and 20 tds, but TD only did that for 1 season. He had 3 very good seasons but that doesn't put you in the HOF.

I'm all for giving HOF access to players with short but ridiculously high peaks -- I think Randy Moss has been a HOF'er for a while now, e.g. -- but the fact that so many no-name Denver RBs have had such great success in TD's wake ruins his candidacy in my eyes.

TD was an awesome player, but someone with that short of a career, and that short of a period of being a top player in the league will not get in.

Otherwise, Bo Jackson would qualify.

Yes. And your basing this on the longevity of both. So...

HOF'ers career >>>>> TD's career

Or doesn't it work both ways?

I understand what you are trying to do here sir. Bo didn't ever even rush for 1000 yds. Stop making me talk bad about Bo I love him.

I voted "no", but I think its a very close vote. And one very key aspect that I havn't seen mentioned yet:

Terrell Davis has a legit claim as the greatest postseason RB of all time.


His stats: 8 games, 7-1 record, 2 Super Bowls, 1140 rush yards, 12 rush TDs, 5.6 yards per carry

Yes. In terms of this scenario, I think TD getting in is comparable to Gale Sayers getting it. Gale was incredibly dominant for a short period of time and then knee injuries ended his career.

TD was dominant for a short period of time and then his career ended early due to injuries.

To me, he's basically football's answer to Kirby Puckett.

Slight hijack here, but I don't think it deserves it's own thread:

How about Isaac Bruce? I'd have laughed at anybody who mentioned him at a potential HOFer a few weeks ago, but for some reason I was looking at stats the other day, and he's accumulating them to the point where it might be impossible to leave him out.

Right now, he's got 887 catches for 13376 yards (15.1 average), and 80 touchdowns. He's still going strong too - last year he was 74/1098. You want to see the list of all the WRs with 1000 catches and 15000 yards? Here it is:

1. Jerry Rice

Barring injury, Bruce will surely add his name right below. (Marvin Harrison will likely reach those milestones before Bruce as well.)

The Super Bowl win with the Rams certainly doesn't hurt either. He's already Top 10 all-time in receptions and yards, and should be Top 5 in both before he's done.

Negatives: Only 4 Pro Bowls. Only two seasons in the NFL Top 10 in catches, four in yards, and three in receiving TDs.

I'm thinking the stats he's amassed might be enough when all is said and done though. So what do you think? Is Isaac Bruce a Hall of Famer?
