TD shouldn't be in but I do see the argument. He was one hell of a back for a few years and won both those SBs for Elway and Denver. I just consider him the perfect flash in a pan example. I guess Elliot just needs to play a couple more seasons since we all know it's the OL that really makes a RB (outside of Sanders)
When is the last time an all time great back even made a difference in the SB or a playoff run. I feel like the only guys who get the yards to be considered great these days are on mediocre or worse teams cause if they are on a good team that team passes a lot.

HoF criteria should be easy..
Were you the best at your position for a significant amount of time (at least 2 seasons) and did you help make your team good. Under that, TD would be a yes.
It sets the bar pretty high for QBs, but not impossible. The active QBs would be Brady, Rodgers and Brees. Eli, Wilson (so far) and Big Ben would be outside shots. Wilson still has a lot of career left, so lets say he is in. Eli and Rothlesburger might not both get in, but Ben over Eli all day.

I don't know.. His 2010 (superbowl MVP) and his 2011 seasons put him there I think.

I was gonna try... but Brees threw 22 INTs that season. Brady threw 4.
Yeah....
Looking at all the QBs side by side, its amazing how few INTs Brady and Rodgers throw compared to everyone else.

Crazy thing is he was even better this year in almost every comparable category. Higher rating, more yards per attempt, better completion percentage, more yards per game. insane.

I think even Brees is an outside shot, he prolly gets it eventually. I think Eli and Big Ben have equal shots to Brees actually. Brees numbers are good but his actual track record for making the team good isn't great and he was really only the best at his position for one year maybe and even that is arguable.

Yeah, that is a ridiculous HoF metric, 2L. Very, very few would get in and some iffy ones would pass more qualified candidates. Having a guy that is top 5 at his position for 10-12 years IS more valuable than a guy that's the top for just 2 and then sputters out.

Just two years at the top of your position? That's a shitty low bar you're setting.
And it makes Jacoby not getting in, again, look even worse. The best lineman on the best offensive line of all time, and only has 1 more year of eligibility before the senior squad.

I think being absolutely dominant for a couple years (especially if those years end in superbowls) can balance out a longer career of just being very good. I would buy the case either way. Destroy the league for a couple years or be a top 10 guy for 10+ both make sense for a hall of famer. Another criteria that Dave Dameshek talks about is whether the story of your era in football can be told without talking about you. By that criteria TD gets in but somebody like Frank Gore, who was basically a 1000 yard back for most of his 12+ year career but only broke 1500 once and never really led the league or won any superbowls might not. Personally I think there's room for both.
