Doubt it's this year with guys like Peyton and co. now if he didn't last year. Agreed. I dont think Fred has a snowballs chance in hell of EVER getting in but Tony should be at some point Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its more of him being at the pinnacle of the position for long enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had as many years at the top of the game as Gayle Sayers or Terrell Davis had total years in the league. Just like they make up the arbitrary “didn’t play long enough” to justify keeping Bosselli out, despite the fact that he has more career starts than half the OL in the Hall.

Boselli was Top-3 at least for a good chunk of his healthy career. I feel like Fred was never THE Runningback of the NFL. He was my RB, loved him to death. The way he moved was unbelievable but I feel like he was never seen as that guy of his generation and for that he'll never get in Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the deepest era for RBs in NFL history? Absolutely. If the 90’s can put in 8 QBs who all played at the same time, the 2000’s can have 5 RBs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Buck 3,308 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I think one of the big things working against them is the relative obscurity of the Jaguars around the country. They just never hear about the Jags. I remember the first time I heard people on FF talking about Fred Taylor's career stats and I thought to myself "wow, why have I never even heard of this guy?
