Kiwibrown Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Shaun Alexander is the only player with a combined touchdown total of over 110 that isn't in the HOF that is eligible. He had 5 highly productive seasons going over 100 ypg rushing and receiving in these years. His best year coming in 2005 with over 1800 yards and 27 TDs. Statistically an all time season. He benefited from a great oline and a good team around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingoLadd Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 He's already in the Alabama Sports HOF, the only HOF that matters. He'll make it in at some point but he'll be an addition that probably should've gotten in sooner but won't because reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 No, I don't think he is a Hall of Famer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He benefited from a great oline and a good team around him. Tremendous career, but faded badly after his age 28 season. The decline was startling, and he was soon out of the NFL. With the buildup of so many stronger candidates now and later, it's difficult to see Alexander ever reaching Canton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluther Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Who’d be first of these Seahawks HB in the HoF? Shaun or Marshawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I mean if you're putting in Terrell Davis he should be in. His peak was longer and 03-05 is better than 96-98. Then again you should also throw in Priest Holmes by that criteria. Terrell Davis opens an entire can of worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 If Alexander makes the HOF I don’t know what making the HOF even means anymore, and he was one of my favorites back in the day. Before I was a Saints fan I just followed my dads team which was the Seahawks and Shaun was probably my favorite player back then, but no I don’t see him as a HOF player by any stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'd say no - his production dropped significantly once Steve Hutchinson left for Minnesota. He's a product of an immensely talented OL. Hutch should be in before Alexander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I'm very much on the fence about him in the HoF. There was a 5 year stretch where he put up the most absurd numbers, but he didn't do much else in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footbull3196 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Absolutely not. He was a total product of his offensive line and there's no way he should get in when someone like Ricky Watters isn't even in the HOF yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazer026 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hard to say, I don't think so, but I also didn't think Davis should have got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His production dropped off because he was on the tail end of his 20's and coming off of three consecutive seasons where he was ran into the ground, capped off by 450 touches in final year and 390 in each of his previous two. Hutchinson leaving was only merely coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similair to Gronk IMO if he stoped playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrell Davis is arguably the best postseason back ever, and that did augment his case. If we lower the bar for Alexander, that means Priest Holmes, and others should get in as well. Don't think it's going to happen with strong candidates on the ballot who also have SB rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the people in Davis' camp can claim he was terrific in every playoff game he participated in. He also has two rings, and an MVP season where he rushed for 2k yards. If Alexander had that kind of career in that short of a span, he'd probably be in. Same with Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
