(What the hell is Ken Stabler doing in the HOF)
Sayers' all purpose yards record was broken by Mack Herron here in '74, and Mack's was broken a year later by Terry Metcalf (in only 13 games). The subsequent record breakers had 16 to do it. Gale was a 5 time First Team All Pro, even with an injury shortened career.
So three (3) great seasons rushing puts you in the Hall. That's all Davis had.
Great points on Sayers. I don't have an issue with him being in. Perfect peak vs volume. Again I think Davis qualifies. If you don't that's fine. Happy to agree to disagree.
If they're going to let all the volume guys from this era in: Holt, Wayne, Bolden, Johnson, Smith and Jones then they better retroactively let in Ellard, Jackson and (you'll love this!) Morgan who all did 10K yards when it actually was an accomplishment.
Honestly I'd let none of them in. Larry Fitzgerald is the only one I'd let in. He has the volume, the peak and the playoffs. He was in the 100 anniversary team and 100% deserved it.
