Terrell Davis being in the HOF is laughable.

Your consistent dumb ass threads are laughable
How is this thread dumb?

Three great years is good enough to be a HOF now?

I get that he was on 2 super bowl teams but three great seasons isn’t enough.


On the flip side, I would agree Calvin Johnson is a HOF player despite where his stats line up and him retiring prematurely because of the plays he made. He’s a one of one type played. Davis wasn’t. He was a great back surrounded by great players.

He accomplished more in 4 years then any other RB in history

He dominated the NFL and was the best player in the league

The precedent was set with Gale Sayers

I dont think the OP is off

Sterling Sharpe is another player who doesn't belong in it.

He was great when he played. 3 All Pro's. But he had a career ending injury.

For a long time people were like, it's a shame he got hurt, he would've had a HOF career. His brother even gave a speech when he was inducted.

It went from it's a shame Sterling Sharpe got hurt because he was on his way to having a HOF career to now he's in the HOF.

I wouldn't have voted him in personally if I had a vote but I can see the logic
That peak is legitimately one of the best peaks for a RB in NFL history
Top 3 in MVP voting all 3 years, winning 1
All Pro 1st team all 3 years
2x Super Bowl Champion taking home Super Bowl MVP in one of them
His postseason numbers were absolutely cartoonish all time levels in those Super Bowl runs too

That peak is probably a top 5 all time peak for any RB ever.

Like I said, I personally wouldn't have voted for him but I don't agree that it's laughable to have voted for him

That being said, Sterling Sharpe still not getting in is pure bullshyt cause at the time that was an all time peak for a receiver. He should be in too using similar logic that got Davis and Tony Boselli inducted

Jimmy Johnson don't belong in either :manny: and I'm a cowboys fan.


Regardless of what the cowboys did after he left, he only coached in the NFL for 9 seasons. If you're only going to coach 9 seasons and get in the HOF, you gotta be in at least 4 or 5 Super Bowls as a coach.

Johnson is getting by on what he WOULD HAVE DONE had he stayed in Dallas. Well, he had a chance to do something with the Dolphins and his last game as a coach was one of if not the worst playoff loss in the modern era.
