Production wise he will make it in. But you can write the history of this Era without mentioning him because his team did nothing.

Doesn't work that way. From Jim Brown to Gale Sayers, to OJ to Barry Sanders to anyone below these guys, nobody cares. We all just think about the way they played. You are badly mistaken when it comes to any great player, on any team.

The Titans didn't win a Super Bowl but I wouldn't say they did nothing.

They had a winning record every year during his first six seasons and made the playoffs four times including a trip to the AFCCG. And Henry was a big part of that; take him away and those teams did nothing. Last year they started 7-3 before falling apart.

Henry has 732 rushing yards in the playoffs, the most of any active RB and 17th all-time behind mostly HOFers. He could move into the top 10 with another playoff run or two before his career winds down. That's not nothing. It's just another casualty of the Super Bowl or bust mentality that has taken over NFL fandom.
