that was part of it but if they weren't effective taking handoffs and making plays they wouldn't be HOFers.
Brooks, Strahan, Reed, DeBartolo should all get in this year. Marvin Harrison should get in but is going to get hurt by that alleged murder charge which basically forced his early retirement from the game.
You are in the minority. doesn't make your wrong but it's nice to have a pass catching back but if he can't take handoffs and run he's not too valuable.
Who said anything about not being able to take handoffs. Good job, go jump to an extreme to try to prove a stupid point. Marshall Faulk is probably a top 10 RB of all time because of his running AND pass catching ability. Taking a handoff is the most important job for a running back. Being able to catches passes too is not just a bonus, it's essential to be a two way player, especially in today's game. Wtf dude. _
It's essential? Marshawn Lynch doesn't catch many passes Adrian Peterson doesn't catch many passes this was the first year Charles caught a ton of balls Alfred Morris is not even involved in the pass game lacy didn't catch a ton Gore doesn't catch many same for Murray McCoy isn't even as involved as he should be. of the top backs only Forte has caught a million balls. Most RBs can catch the ball, but depending upon what teams want to do on O dictates how many they get, it's not essential. Stick w/ me, you'll learn.
GFY, if you had a choice between a back that could run and not catch, a back that could catch and not run, or a back that was a great runner and a great pass catcher like a Marshall Faulk, you choose Faulk every day. _
so you don't think a RB like Adrian Peterson can catch psses and make plays in the pass game? you don't think scheme, talent, etc... play any role? I love Faulk, great player but I'll Peterson is better. I'd take Barry sanders who didn't catch many balls, Jim Brown, etc... why are you so angry?
Just an interesting view of the sack leaders in 10-year increments. Players in bold are currently in the HOF 1982-1989 1. Lawrence Taylor 2. Dexter Manley 3. Richard Dent 4. Reggie White 5. Jacob Green 1985 – 1994 1. Reggie White 2. Bruce Smith 3. Richard Dent 4. Lawrence Taylor 5. Kevin Greene 1990 – 1999 1. Derrick Thomas 2. Kevin Greene 3. Bruce Smith 4. Reggie White 5. Chris Doleman 1995 – 2004 1. Michael Strahan 2. Simeon Rice 3. John Randle 4. Kevin Carter 5. Bruce Smith 2000 – 2009 1. Jason Taylor 2. Joey Porter 3. John Abraham 4. Michael Strahan 5. Leonard Little 2005 – 2013 1. Jared Allen 2. DeMarcus Ware 3. Robert Mathis 4. John Abraham 5. Julius Peppers
and completely dominated. very different than Strahan. you can be so whiny. pay attention and learn rather than look so whiny and childish.
Who other than White and Smith played that position better than Strahan(in the modern era)? If you think Strahan is a Hall of Very good guy that's fine....but you cant say Jerome Bettis deserves it and Strahan doesnt.
Like I said, a dick and intentionally obtuse. Go find another extreme to make some silly points. You really don't teach anyone anything here. But you and I both know that. _
some is scheme, some is because the guy does not catch the ball well. a. morris does not have anywhere near the pass catching ability of Faulk so it's like you are right about some stuff and the JStikes is right about some stuff
I gave my reasons for Bettis, if he doesn't make it that's ok. I don't think he is a slam dunk guy. as far as better DEs/pass rushers than Strahan in the modern era? Peppers Allen Ware Doleman Dent Greene Randle Rice Freeney Swilling Thomas LT O'Neal I can keep going. please go take your medication. that explanation doesn't apply to every player, again I love Faulk. All time great but there are better Rbs than him. barry Sanders wasn't a great pass catcher, is there anyone taking Faulk over Barry?
Swilling, Ware, Greene, and Thomas all played different positions. And I can tell you're just going onto football reference and looking up stats.
