Forgot to update this, last Sunday moved to 28th on the All-Time yards list (10,448 yards)...

Within range for next game:

27. Tiki (10,449)

I think I'm gonna expand this thread top by comparing Henry to the guys he's passing in yards...

Tiki was one of my favorite players ever. Great hands, shifty, quick. Explosive in the open field, could destroy you inside or outside the tackles. Tiki was an amazing football player...I hated he retired so soon.

Henry is better...

And TDs

Barry, Faulk, Tomlinson, AD and in that order.

Faulk was a TD threat every time he touched the ball.
Same page. Henry the best that's come through since peak AD though. Cancel Christmas AD was a monster.

When it's all said and done Henry will be #1 in rushing yards and touchdowns
-Takes care of his body (I can see Henry playing at least 15 seasons)
-Homerun hitter + efficient...doesn't need many carries
-Decreases chances of injury
-Playing with a QB like Lamar and a scheme like the Ravens (Ricard, Andrews, Likely, and Kolar)


Currently in season #9, after this season
17 games + playoffs
1,500 rushing yards + 15 rushing TDs [He got 3 more in him] 4,500 yards + 45 TDs
1,200 rushing yards + 12 rushing TDs [He got 2 more in him] 2,400 yards + 24 TDs
1,000 yards yards + 10 rushing TDs [He got 1 more in him]...last season
7,900 yards + 79 TDs....projected remaining total

10,554 yards + 101 TDs....current career total

18,454 yards + 180 TDs....current + projcted remaining total


1,052 yards + 11 TDs....current 2024 total
1,800 yards + 20 TDs....projected 2024 total



19,204 yards + 189 TDs....overall projected total


....might as well retire at 20,000 rushing yards + 200 rushing TDs

Him not coming into the league like gangbusters takes some of the shine off. Could he have beasted? Maybe, but the team went with Murray.

Meanwhile All Day puttin up 296 on the Chargers his 8th game in the league.

Nah RB fall off the cliff HARD, don't forget Adrian Peterson had a resurgence after injury and was the rushing leader at age 30 too, then that was kind of it.

nah doubt it
I think the oldest rb in the league this year is 33 - cordalle patterson

frank gore and adrian peterson at 37 and 36 are top 5 for the oldest rbs ever

even emmit was done at 35
