But I went back and have watched everything I could find from players I was curious about but mostly QB then RB and somewhat wr. He was clearly one of the better ones to play. Too bad it wasn't longer. I'm a huge Sayers fan and think he belongs in the HOF. But nobody really considers Sharpe and I'm pretty sure their yards from scrimmage per season over careers is similar. Granted Gale sort of made his name early partially on return prowess too. And a crazy average. If Terrell Davis is in, Sterling should be. Sure his career was cut short but he was soooo dominant and he looked like a 1st ballot HOF lock. I think he did enough to warrant getting in (and I love everything Shannon said about him at his own induction). I can't even imagine how unstoppable our offense would've been in 96-98 with him playing. Agreed about Sayers too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty standoffish from what I recall. Unfortunately, the media has a big influence on the players that get into the HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Here's Davante's career stats via ProFootballReference - they like to give you the players middle name or nickname Lavell has scored 39 TDs so far, in striking distance of White Lightning's 72. Gerg had 53, Sharpe had 65 , Jerome, aka Quicky had 61 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AdamDa01.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC He would talk to the national media, but early in his career he felt betrayed by the local media and wouldn't talk to them again. He was better than Adams though, stronger and faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you weren't here but there was a massive troll who's banned now, but probably back on a new user name lol, who talked about Latimer constantly. Mostly about being faster and how Adams was too slow. It was funny at first and it's funny now but it got really ******* annoying for a while lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you confusing Shannon Sharpe with Sterling Sharpe? I dont recall Sterling having the high profile national media presence that Shannon has.

Unfortunately, the media has a big influence on the players that get into the HOF. The bigger issue is that Davis was a key player on two Super Bowl winning teams, while Sharpe did not win any. If their situations were reversed, Sharpe would be in the Hall of Fame and Davis would not be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
