It’s weird how Terrell Davis had 3 good seasons and made it into the HOF.

They were DAMN good seasons

Also it was really 4. He went for 1500 total yards his rookie year.

I think the bigger case against him was how when he got hurt and they just kinda plugged in Orlandis Gary and Mike Anderson they didn’t really miss a beat running.

Look at his playoff stats and the two rings on Elway’s hand.

He is the reason Elway has 2 rings.

1140 yards and 12 TDs in only 8 playoff games is basically GOAT postseason running back numbers

He was good in 2015 too. So basically 2 pretty good regular seasons, 2 good post seasons, and a bunch of mostly mediocre enough seasons to pad the career stats.

He does get way too much credit for that 2007 SB team though. He wasn’t good during the regular season. And his defense really deserves way more credit for holding that legendary NE offense to 14 points. Meanwhile the Giant’s offense scored just 17 while Eli’s most memorable play required an insane catch by the receiver that 9/10 would’ve been dropped

The GOAT Post season RB.

Also saying he only has three “good” seasons is one hell of an understatement.

His body of work in the playoffs put him over the top. Without that, he's not in.

Look at the seasons of his journeyman successors.

System-back with a HOF O-line.

Not gonna take anything away from him but his few years of greatness is not Gayle Sayers worthy (short career HOF).

The first 2 lines in your post say otherwise.

The only stat sayers beats Davis is ypc. The rest are not even close. And that’s not including postseason numbers.

All in all, another 10/10 stupid post from you.

Same could be said for Joe Namath.

For the life of me, I just can’t recall his time at UGA much.
