Re: HOF 2007 Preliminary Nominee List
Yeah, when a guy runs for over 2,000 yards, he's one of the all-time greats, talent-wise. You can't fluke your way to 2,000 yards and 20+ TDs. It has only happened 5 times in NFL history...by some of the all-time greats...O.J., Dickerson, Barry Sanders. Then Jamal Lewis and T. Davis.
He was clearly a great RB. So was Sayers and really, Barry Sanders didn't have a long career; he could've played a LOT longer. Yes, there's plenty I don't let in, Mr. Smarty Pants...most of that list that was in the link. The ones I listed, I believe really deserve it. |

 Seriously though - you would put Jamal Lewis in the Hall for one incredble year and two pretty good years? http://www.pro-football-reference.co...s/LewiJa00.htm Sanders had a LOT of great years, and no bad years (IIRC). I wouldn't compare him to Lewis and Davis. |

IF he had maintained that level that he lost from injuries, yes. Davis was able to put together 4 VERY impressive years and a few Super Bowls to Lewis' couple of seasons. He belongs in SOMEDAY...not right after his 5 year waiting period when guys like Monk are still waiting to get in...but he does belong there someday. |
